"Ephraim met Nancy, they had an affair and Charles was the result; I heard that he was run out of Ms. along with Nancy and baby Charles. They made a stop in Tx had another baby before eventually ending up in Arkansas.

They had one child, a daughter named Goldine, who is reported in the 1910 census. There is also a memorial for Goldean on Find a Grave, reporting her birth date as 11 July 1902. There is no photo of the gravestone. Charlie remarried widow Rosella Belle (or Emma) Scruggs Benson in December 1905. She is variously referred to as Belle or Ella. Belle was born about 1879 or 1880, according to ages in censuses. But in the 1930 census, Belle reports that she was first married at age 14, which would be about 1893. Her record of marriage to Charley Jenkins reports her last name as Benson.

Jenkins W M 55 Farmer SC SC SC Nancy Jenkins W F 36 Wife Housekeeping Ala Va SC Dan Jenkins W M 5 Son Ark SC Ala A marriage record is found apparently reporting on this Daniel P Jenkins and his wife Stella Hannon. Married in 1896, this matches the report of marriage in the 1900 census. But the name of the wife in the 1900 census is not Stella but Susie. Perhaps her name was Stella Susie? We find some comfort in the listings of the 1930 census, where Dan's wife is reported as Estella. The birth state and age match. It is interesting further, because Dan's brother Jacob married a woman named Stella in 1891.

It is only 6 months between the birth dates for the two. I think the correct birth date for Emma should be Feb 1899, which would make her 1 year old at the June census time, as the enumerator originally had. 1910 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 28 April, Prairie Township, District 12, page 6A, Hse/Fam #103 Jenkins, D P Head M W 35 Married 14 years AR NC MS Farmer Jenkins, Estelle Wife F W 35 Married 14 years 5 children/5 living OH OH OH Farm Laborer Jenkins, Emma Dau F W 11 AR AR OH Farm Laborer Jenkins, Belle Dau F W 9 AR AR OH Jenkins, Jefferson Son M W 7 AR AR OH Jenkins, James Son M W 5 AR AR OH Jenkins, Bertie Dau F W 1yr5mos AR AR OH Note that the number of children reported is 5 children born, 5 living.

We would think her dates come from family sources, but some of these differ from records or other genealogy reports. That date of 12 February is confirmed in his WWI draft registration, but that document reports that the year of birth was 1874, not 1875. The date of February 1875 comes from the 1900 census, which is notorious for wrong birth years. Since Dan himself was reporting the information on the draft card, I will take that as the correct date. Jana's genealogy is the only one reporting a date of death for him. I can find no death record for Daniel. Jana provides no comment or documentation, making her data questionable. So her information may help fill lin some gaps, but where other information is available, we must give priority to the other source.

Drusilla Jenkins Birth 1810 in Union, Arkansas, Death Unknown Parents: Samuel Jenkins 1789 - 1870 Sarah Catherine Jenkins 1797 - 1849 -- Neely, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/16192189/person/1839194183 Drusilla and the next child, Elizabeth, are reported as born in Arkansas, but then the next two are reported as born in South Carolina. This does not seem likley. I note that all were born in a county named Union County. This seems likely the result of sloppy work in the genealogy. The censuses report Elizabeth born in South Carolina, which makes sense. Other genealogies report Union County, South Carolina.

I first found information on Ebby Jenkins in July 2008. The first public record I find of him is the 1900 census for Cass County, Texas. He is living with his widowed mother and siblings. 1900 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 20 June, Justice Precinct 3, District 22, page 17A, Hse/Fam #285 Jenkins, Julia Head W F Sept 1856 43 Widow 7 children/6 living GA GA SC Farmer Owns Farm Jenkins, Elby Son W M Oct 1886 13 TX GA TX Ebby's name here is spelled Elby, but a family genealogy I found in August 2008 gives his name as the more common Ebby. However, the genealogy records that one of his sons is called Elba. Ebby's date of birth is reported in the 1900 census as October 1886. But a family genealogy, compiled by my cousin Dorothy Wommack Neely, reports an exact birth date of 13 October 1885. This genealogy gives information about Ebby and his family. No documentation or explanation is given for the dates. ----------- Ebby Elijah Jenkins, Born 13 OCT 1885. Died 27 MAY 1955 Wife 1 Lula Ewildi Harraman 1886-1918 Children Lucille Jenkins 1905- Emma Fay Jenkins 1907-1995 Ethel Ewildi Jenkins 1909-1993 Wife 2 Harriett Tefteller Children Elba Bryson Jenkins [error, Harriet has Tefteller children of the same age and younger] Ira Curtis Jenkins [error, Harriet has Tefteller children of the same age and younger] -- Cass County Texas -- America's Melting Pot, /pt/family.aspx?tid=5720081&pid=-1408889298&pg=0 ------------ This source was the first to give me the names of the children, but this genealogy has an error in the children Elba Bryson and Ira Curtis. In the 1920 census, Harriet has Tefteller children of the same ages of Ira and Bryson as Jenkins children, and younger. Further, that genealogy itself gives the date of death for Lula as 27 January 1918. Bryson was about 4 years old at that time. 1910 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 28 April, Justice Precinct 2, Enumeration District 31, page 7B, Hse/Fam #127 Jenkins, Ebb Head M W 24 Married 4 yrs TX AL GA Laborer Rents [b abt 1886] Jenkins, Lula Wife F W 23 Married 4 yrs IL IL IL [b abt 1887] Jenkins, Emmer Dau F W 3 TX TX IL [b abt 1907] Jenkins, Ethel Dau F W 1 TX TX IL [b abt 1909] Note that the genealogy reports another child, named Lucille, born in 1905. This child is not in the 1910 census. So we can say she died before the 1910 census, even though the genealogy reports no death date. By 1920, Ebb's wife has died, and he has remarried. We find him and his new wife Harriet Charlton Tefteller, in a blended home with her children from her first marriage. I have not discovered Harriet's maiden name. In 1920, Ebb and Harriet are living next door to Ebb's brother Cullen, reported as Curley in the 1900 census. 1920 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 20 January, Justice Precinct 3, Enumeration District 3, page 7B, Naples and Dalton Rd, Hse/Fam #124 Jenkins, Ebb Head Rents M W 34 TX TN GA Farming [b abt 1886] Jenkins, Harriet Wife F W 27 TX US TX [b abt 1893] Jenkins, Emma Fay Dau F W 12 TX TX TX [b abt 1908] Jenkins, Ethel Dau F W 10 TX TX TX [b abt 1910] Jenkins, Ira Son M W 8 TX TX TX [b abt 1912] Jenkins, Bryson Son M W 16 TX TX TX [b abt 1914] Tefteller, Ellie StepDau F W 10 TX US TX [b abt 1910] Tefteller, Ola StepDau F W 8 TX US TX [b abt 1912] Tefteller, Clyde StepSon M W 6 TX US TX [b abt 1914] Tefteller, Dovie StepDau F W 4 TX US TX [b abt 1916] Tefteller, Charlie StepSon M W 2yrs 1mo TX US TX [b abt Mar 1918] Jenkins, Louella Dau F W 2 months TX TX TX [b Mar 1920] Note that now Ebb's father is reported as born in Tennessee. Note that in 1910, it was Alabama. His brother Ira also reported Alabama in 1910, but Tennessee in 1930. But in 1930, Ebb reports his father born in Georgia! All the previous information we have had on his father, John C Jenkins, is that he was born in Mississippi. This is likely the correct location for John's birth. We have no information in the admittedly minimal family tradition or censuses about his grandparents every living in Tennessee. Joseph Sanford Jenkins and Lucinda Amanda Taylor apparently married in Mississippi, where Lucinda was born. We find other Jenkins and Taylor families there in the 1800s, although we have been unable to determine any connection yet. Lucinda was born in Mississippi and J S was born in South Carolina. Another problem here indicates that the information the enumerator entered may not be too reliable is that he has reported the mother of the girls as born in Texas. But their mother, Lula Harraman was born in Illinois, according to the 1910 census. Her 1900 census record when she was still living at home with her parents also reports her born in Illinois. In the 1930 census, all the children are reported with the last name of Jenkins. I assume this means that Ebby has legally adopted the Tefteller children. This is also supported by their now being reported as sons and daughter of Ebb. 1930 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 9 April, Justice Precinct 3, District 14, page 4A, Naples Bryans Mill Rd, Hse/Fam #77 Jenkins, E E Head Rents M W 44 First married at age 21 TX GA GA Farmer [b abt 1886] -- page 4B -- Jenkins, Harret [sic] Wife F W 38 First married at age 21 TX TX AL [b abt 1892] Jenkins, Emma Dau F W 23 Single TX TX TX [b abt 1907] Jenkins, Ira Son M W 18 Single TX TX TX [b abt 1912] Jenkins, Bryson Son M W 16 Single TX TX TX [b abt 1914] Jenkins, Clyde Son M W 17 Single TX US TX [b abt 1913] Jenkins, Charlie Son M W 13 Single TX US TX [b abt 1917] Jenkins, Lucile Dau F W 12 TX TX TX [b abt 1918] Jenkins, Julia Mother F W 58 Widow GA GA GA [b abt 1872] Note that now Ebb's father is reported born in Georgia, as well as his mother. Harriet's parents are also now reported as Texas and Alabama instead of US and Texas. All the children of both fathers are now reported with the same birth information for self and parents: Texas Texas Texas. And we now find Ebb's mother living with them. She is reported as only 58 years old, which would mean she was born in 1872. But in the 1900 census her birth date was reported as Sept 1856, when she was 43. So in 1930 she is reported as only 15 years older than in 1900! Lucile (matching Louella in the previous census) has gained 12 years in the last 10. 1940 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 13 April, Justice Precinct 3, District 34-15, page 1B, Wommack Road, Hse #163, Rents $3 Jenkins, Ebb E Head M W 54 Widowed Grade 5 b Texas same place Common Laborer, Sawmill Jenkins, Harriett Wife F W 49 Single Grade 5 b Texas same place in 1935 both parents born Alabama Jenkins, Ira C Son M W 29 Single Grade 4 b Texas same place Common Laborer, Sawmill Jenkins, Bryson Son M W 26 Grade 4 b Texas same place in 1935 Common Laborer, Sawmill Jenkins, Charlie T Son M W 23 Grade 4 b Texas same place in 1935 Common Laborer, Sawmill Ebb's middle nmae was spelled weirdly on his Social Security records.

If Bettie in 1870 is the Elizabeth of 1860, however, she has gained 13 years instead of ten since the last census. All the boys named in the 1860 census appeared in the 1850 census with their widowed father. It appears that the first wife Sara Catherine (no maiden name) died at childbirth with Richard (Dick) in 1849. She would have been 59 years old. It is remarkable that she was still bearing children, with Joseph born about 1956 when she was about 56 years old. 1870 Federal Census, Attala County, Mississippi, 24 August, Beat 4, PO Kosciusko, page 40, Hse #76, Fam #77 Jenkins, Sam 81 M W Farmer $500 Real Estate $500 Personal born SC Taylor, Nancy 50 F W Keeping House born Miss SC Taylor, Bettie 48 F W born SC Several family genealogies report that Eliza married Caleb Paseur (name also spelled other ways). There is a marriage record of one Eliza Jane Jenkins marrying a Caleb Paysour in Lincoln County, North Carolina, about three counties north of Union County, South Carolina, where the Jenkins family lived. This could be the correct person. No image was available of the record, only the Ancestry transcription. Note that the date we have here is the bond date, not the marriage date, though it might have been the same day.

The wife of Caleb Paseur died in Marshall County, Alabama. He grave (see below) says she died on 12 April 1923. Her death record has her name as Lizzie Jane Paseur. Lizzie is, of course, another nickname for Elizabeth, like Eliza. Alabama, Deaths and Burials Index, 1881-1974 Lizzie Jane Paseur [Eliza Jane Paseur] Birth abt 1826 Death 12 Apr 1923 Paint Rock, Jackson, Alabama Death Age 97 The 1931 Alabama death record is in the name of Eliza Jenkins, who in died Calhoun County, Mississippi in 1931. But with the last name as Jenkins, this seems to be her married name No details are posted on any genealogy I have found, nor could I find any further details of the Eliza Jenkins in Calhoun County. Only the following transcription has been found. Alabama Deaths, 1908-59 Eliza Jenkins Death Apr 1931 Calhoun County Volume 21, Page 10359 To me, a question still remains as to whether the wife of Caleb Paseur is the daughter of Samuel Jenkins. I have not seen anything definitive in any of the genealogies. They consistently attach censuses for Caleb and his wife Eliza or Elizabeth to Eliza Jane, the daughter of Samuel Jenkins. But I have seen no further documentation to confirm that. In the 1850 and 1860 censuses there is a Jenins household headed by men who could be Eliza's brothers, Benjamin in 1850 and Jackson in 1860. Neither of these names matches a son of Samuel Jenkins.

Originally the enumerator had born Feb 1898 and age 1. Another hand has marked out the 1 and written 2. The original birth date written here could not be right if her brother Roywas born in Aug 1897 as reproted. That seems correct. That is only 6 months between the birth dates for the two. I think the correct birth date for Emma should be Feb 1899, which would make her 1 year old at the June census time, as the enumerator originally had. 1910 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 28 April, Prairie Township, District 12, page 6A, Hse/Fam #103 Jenkins, D P Head M W 35 Married 14 years AR NC MS Farmer Jenkins, Estelle Wife F W 35 Married 14 years 5 children/5 living OH OH OH Farm Laborer Jenkins, Emma Dau F W 11 AR AR OH Farm Laborer 1920 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 13 January, Prairie Township, District 15, page 3A, Hse/Fam #42 Jenkins, Dan Head Rents M W 45 AL AL AL Farmer Jenkins, Stella Wife F W 45 OH OH OH Jenkins, Emma Dau F W 21 AR AL OH Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957 Emma Jenkins Age 22, Birth Year abt 1900 Residence Saint Charles, Arkansas, Arkansas Spouse's Name J V Wages Spouse's Gender Male Spouse's Age 24 Spouse's Residence: St Charles, Arkansas, Arkansas Marriage 1 Jan 1922 Arkansas County Marriage License Date: 29 Dec 1921 1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 9 April, Prairie Township, District 24, page 2B, Hse #38, Fam #39 Wages, Vernon Head Owns has Radio M W 32 Married at age 25 AR AR AR Farmer Wages, Emma Wife F W 31 Married at age 24 AR AR OH Wages, John T Son M W 7 Single AR AR AR Wages, Velma Dau F W 5 AR AR AR Wages, Dorothy Dau F W 1yr6mos Single AR AR AR 1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 17 April, Ethel, District 1-26, page 9A, Hwy 17, Hse #140, Owns $400 Wages, Vernon Head M W 44 Grade 3 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Farmer Wages, Emma Wife F W 42 Grade 6 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Housekeeping Wages, J T Son M W 17 Divorced Grade 5 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Wages, Allanna Dau F W 15 Single Grade 5 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Wages, Dorothy Dau F W 11 Single Grade 4 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Wages, Junior Son M W 7 Single Grade 2 b Ark Ark Co in 1935 Social Security Death Index Emma Wages Born 28 Feb 1898 Died Mar 1979 Last Residence De Witt, Arkansas, Arkansas 72042 SSN 429-94-5319 issued Arkansas (1965)
Several family genealogies report Emma Faye Jenkins Martin. Those with more complete details report she was born and died in Titus County, Texas. Emma's record in the Social Security Death Index reports her full birth and death dates. This also reports her residence at the time of death as Dallas, Texas.

Some report some as born in Cass County but Emma alone born in Titus. I find the family in Cass County in every census from 1900 to 1930, so it would seem reasonable that all the children were born in Cass County. I think some sources may have been misled by the report of her death in Titus County, to think that this was her home county.
