Notes for Ephraim Jefferson JENKINS


Recorded sources like census ages indicate Ephraim was born from about
1818-1825.  A researcher has contributed the following comment, reporting a
birth date of May 1812, from a family Bible.

"EJ Jenkins was born May ___1812, (can't read the day) according to the Samuel
Jenkins Bible."
--  "rebelkit," Ancestry.com, comment on this genealogy online, 22 February
2014

The year 1812 to the year 1821 is a large discrepancy, 9 years.  I also note
that the year 1812 could be a handwritten transposition for 1821.  This would
be especially likely and easy in that era of illiteracy.

Other age reports make birth in about 1818 or 1819.  By the 1970 census,
Ephraim was reporting his age as 45, meaning he was born only in 1825.  He got
proportionally younger as he aged.  Until 1880 when he was a full 10 years
older than reported in 1870, at age 55.  (See below.)

Perhaps Ephraim was really that unaware or uncertain of his birth date or age,
or maybe just did not care?  Genealogies cited below also report a birth date
of "abt 1812" but do not tell where they got the  information.

Ephraim's father and other Jenkinses are living nearby.

"My great grandfather was Ephraim J. Jenkins.  My grandfather was Charles
Dempsey Jenkins. My father's name was John Jenkins.  I found a James Jenkins
listed in the 1835 federal pension list. It stated he was 69 years old and
lived in the Sumpter district."
--  Charlie Jenkins, Roe, Arkansas, Genealogy Guestbook messge to Orville Boyd
Jenkins, 26 May 2009

One genealogy reports a child not listed in the 1860 census, John Samuel
Jefferson "Tobe" Jenkins.  He is reported to have been born in August 1850 and
to have died in 1916.  He should have been reported in the 1860 census, if
this is correct.

The genealogy provides no documentation.  Note that in the 1850 census Sarah
is reported as one year older than Jefferson E Jenkins.  But in 1860, E Jeff
is reported as 39 years old, but Sally (Sarah) is 42, 3 years older.

The presence of the two Jackson teens in the household is very interesting
because Ephraim married one Nancy Jackson in Mississippi.  These two teens
were born in Alabama like Nancy, and her age is between these two boys. I have
not found a Jackson family living near Ephraim and Sarah, but these two boys
are working on the farm, and living in with the Jenkinses.  This is likely how
Ephraim and Nancy met.

A genealogy by Jana that reports Sarah Greely as Ephraim's wife and the mother
of the three older Jenkins children.  This genealogy provides some helpful
details from family sources.  This includes a first wife Sarah Greely and
three children not normally reported.  Note the birth date here is 1812, like
that reported recorded in the Bible.

Note that Jana reports Sarah Greely as the mother of the three Jenkins
children from the 1850 and 1860 census.  Some genealogies report a fourth
child of Sarah and Ephraim.  One provides a family photo of John Samuel
Jenkins with his wife and family and a gravestone.  But I have not found any
record documenting a tie of this individual to Sarah and Ephraim.

A descendant of John Samuel Jenkins suggests that Ephraim and Nancy were never
even married.

"Marriage to Ephraim - According to all accounts, he was not married to Nancy. 
Rather had an affair on Sarah and was run out of town after birth of his and
Nancy's first child.  Not sure if he ever really divorced Grandma Sarah or if
just let everyone believe he and Nancy were really married."
--  Donna Winstead, comment on Nancy Ann Jackson on Ancestry, 26 February 2015

"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 [Georgianna] before eventually ending up in
Arkansas.  My aunt told me that Ephraim used to go back and fourth from
Arkansas to Mississippi to visit his Ms. family, the last time he went back he
told them he was not coming back to Ms again, not sure what year that was."
--  Donna Winstead, Ancestry messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 27 February
2015

Before 1870, Ephraim and Nancy moved to Arkansas County, Arkansas, and was
enumerated in the White River town of St Charles,  But after leaving
Mississippi, probably after the Civil War ended, they first moved down to
Texas for a period of time, where their daughter Georgiana (Georgia Anna) was
born in about 1868.  So they got to St Charles around 1869, no earlier than
late 1868.

Both Ephraim and his wife Nancy passed away before the 1900 census.  Jana says
Ephraim died in 1889.  We find their unmarried children, including their son
Charles, together in a household in the same area of their previous residence. 
But Charles, age 34, is the head of the household.

I have not found any info on Ephraim's death and burial.  I got a message from
Donna Winstead in his family line about that.

"I saw your info on Ephraim, was wondering if you are related to him?  He is
my 3rd great grandpa, my line comes from his first marriage to Sarah Greely. 
Wanted to see if you have any more info on him like where he is buried?  His
is quite a story!"
--  Donna Winstead, Ancestry messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 26 February
2015

"I don't have any other info about his death, he lived in Prairie County but
according to the info I received he died in Arkansas County which is right by
Prairie County.  Someone sent me a pic of his tombstone but was such a bad one
couldn't read it. If you need info on Jenkins or Burrells let me know they may
be part of my family and can provide you with info."
--  Donna Winstead, Ancestry messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 02 March 2015

"Edith Jenkins Sweeten ... did give me a copy of ... the last will of E. J.
Jenkins and I also know where he is buried, here in the St. Charles cemetery
under the big ceder tree.  His tomb stone is still there but needs to be
repaired I am going to get my husband to try and to fix it but his wife's is
not there anymore."
--  Michelle Simmons Jenkins, Facebook messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 28
September 2015

As Michelle Simons Jenkins says, Ephraim Jefferson Jenkins is buried in the St
Charles Cemetery, St Charles, Arkansas.  His grave was found there in a survey
of area cemeteries for this genealogy in May 2017.  His stone is the only one
with the name Jennkins (spelled Jinkins) in that cemetery.

Her FAG memorial manager says she was born in South Carolina, but the early
records indicate her parents did not move to South Carolina until after 1910. 
The 1910 census in Rutherford County, North Carolina, reported all their
children born in North Carolina.  Some later records erroneously report she
and some others were born in South Carolina.  But only Darvin, born in 1916,
was born in South Carolina.

Notes for Ezekiel JENKINS


"I have traced my family's origins to Shropshire, England to my ancestor John
Jenkins, 1656-1717, married to Martha Garner, 1656-1752.  They settled in
Westmoreland County, Virginia. ... They had two sons, Ezekiel Jenkins,
1695-1750, & William Jenkins, 1704-1747.  William Jenkins had one son, William
Jenkins - 1740-1787, had 4 sons, one of which was James Randolph Jenkins,
1760-1824, who was born in Fairfax County, Va., & had 19 children, one of
which was Samuel M. Jenkins, 1789-1872 ... the first of this set of Jenkinses
to be born in Union County, South Carolina."
--  Joseph H Miller, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 5 July 2016

There are two memorials on Find a Gqrzve for Ezekiel.  On indicates they do
not kwow where he was buried.  The second gives the burial location, but then
states that it is not certian this is where he was buried.  The first also
misspells his name as Ezekial.  The two also differe in the birthplace
reported.  The second has a more specific location and detail.

Notes for Florence Joean JENKINS


The name appears in the letter from daughter Dolores Frank spelled as Joean,
first thought to be a typewriter typographical error.  The Christiansen
Genealogy (no longer online) spells it as Jean, and this appeared to be
corroborated by other sources.  However, the marriage record, found only in
November 2018, also spells here middle nmae Joean.  --  OBJ

The letter from Florence's daughter Dolores Bess Frank was written to Joseph
Asa Jenkins, father of Joseph Benjamin Jenkins, Florence's first husband.

"My name is Dolores Bess Frank and my mother was Florence Joean Jenkins. ...
My mother Florence, whom I suppose you last saw when she was just tiny, has
been dead for five years. She died in Northern California."

also when I told her.

A copy of the birth certificate issued in 1953, however, has the correct

Heber Springs, who was going south on Highway 107

State Trooper Eddie Seaton said Sharp's car went down an embankment and
crashed into a barn.  Sharp and three passengers were only slightly injured.

Jenkins, who played with a musical group, was en route to a performance at the
time of the accident.  His brother, Greg Jenkins, was following in another

where Gary had been serving as the Music Director, having followed me in that
position after I left the church in 1968.  The funeral and burial took place

Several newspapers in Texas and Arkansas ran the story on Gary's death. 
Included here is a portion of several more.  The first is a complete story
from Quanah, Texas, where Gary was born and grew up.  The Amarillo paper ran
it most likely because of the regional interest.

Notes for George JENKINS


George was born in 1913.  His mother Sallie Underwood died before January 1920.

A Social Security record reports a death date close to that reported for
George by his wife's obituary.  But the birth date is a couple of years older
than his age in censuses indicates.  A memorial on Find a Grave with the
reported dates reports a burial in Franklin County, Arkansas for a George W
Jenkins.  Franklin is near Ft Smith, Arkansas, and this does not seem likely
to be the same George Jenkins.  From other family information, some of it in
his wife's obituary, George died either in California or in Oklahoma.

The George Jenkins in Franklin County died 25 years before Ethel Poston
Jenkins died in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.  She had been living in the same
Oklahoma community for 20 years and had moved to Oklahoma from California.  I
have not found death and burial information for George Jenkins, husband of
Ethel Poston.  Their son George Harold was living in Tujunga, California, at
the time of his mother's death in 1997.  I have found no information on his
father there.

Note that in the 1910 census Belle's parents reported her 9 years old, which
would mean she was born before April 1901.  Yet her gravestone says her birth
date was 24 April 1903, which would mean she was only 6 years old as of the
census date in 1910.
