Source: family tradition, a report from a member of the family that Joseph Sanford Jenkins' father was named Jack. And Joseph Sanford Jenkins' 1880 census record reprots his father wa born in South Caorlina, as J S was. The Carolinas are full of Jenkinses. It has not been possible to definitively link Joseph Sanford and his father Jack with any other Jenkinses we have found in South Carolina, Mississippi or Teas and Indian Territory. "Jack Jenkins was [Joseph Sanford Jenkins'] father." Ref information from Dolores Bess Christiansen Frank, referenced by J Epperson in Notes for Lucinda Amanda Taylor I have been searching for several years for connections for this Jenkins family to South Carolina as well as North Carolina, where Jenkins families are very numerous. I have found the general area of South Carolina they seem to have come from, Pendleton District. This is the westernmost part of South Carolina, bordering Georgia and North Carolina. Pendleton District became Anderson County and the two neighbouring counties. Jenkins are found in the neighbouring area of North Carolina as well. There are traditions among the North Carolina Jenkinses that they had kin folks in South Carolina since before the American Revolution. But they are also unable to find the exact connection. Similar names are found across the whole region, such as Sanford, Elias, and combinations of these two with each other or with the more popular Benjamin, Joseph and John. Most of them seem to have come in turn from the broader Jenkins groups from Virginia and North Carolina. Some Jenkinses migrated west straight across Georgia, through Arkansas or Tennessee, then on to Oklahoma. Others, like our family, followed a more southerly route, through Mississippi, where Joseph Sanford married and first established his family, before moving into East Texas. Before his death he seems to have followed some of his children, named Jenkins and Christian, into Indian Territory, where he died in Marlow, Chickasaw Nation (now Stephens County). Family memory recalls only the first name or nickname of Joseph Sanford's father, Jack. No other information has been found on the parents of Joseph Sanford Jenkins. I have found other Jenkins families in East Texas that would fit as Joseph Sanford's family members, with similar age and birth, but have been unable to find any confirming evidence to connect other Jenkins lines to him in Texas, Mississippi or South Carolina. Here is a summary introduction to the Jenkins lineage and some information about the movement of Jack's son Joseph Sanford Jenkins to Texas and on to Indian Territory in 1890. -------------- Family stories indicates the ancestors of Joseph Sanford Jenkins moved to the United States from Wales, United Kingdom. Jenkins families in that area were numerous. Jenkins is one of many forms of names indicating Johnson. It is derived from two ancient names meaning Little John. The name is identified with pioneer settlements of Maine and New Hampshire. While no family connections with Jenkins of this area have yet been established, an old dictionary belonging to William S. Jenkins, son of Joseph Sanford Jenkins, has been identified with a book store in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. Family tradition holds that the Jenkins were from Wales, and that they originally were named McJenkins or MacJenkins. A number of MacJinkins families were living in South Carolina during the early 1800s. A T. C. McJinkins and wife, ages 35 and 33 respectively, along with one male child, is listed in the 1890 Census Roll of the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, OK. This is thought to be a nephew of Joseph Sanford. Prior to 1860, Joseph Sanford moved his family into Texas on a flatboat - landing at Jefferson's Landing, Jefferson, Marion County, Texas. Joseph freighted supplies for a time from Jefferson's Landing to Atlanta in Northeast Cass County, possibly before moving to the Dalton area. Apparently Joseph's family remained in the Dalton area during the Civil War. Family tradition indicates that Joseph served as a spy for the Confederate Forces during the Civil War. No information has been discovered to date indicating when, where and with what units he might have served. Family tradition holds that although Joseph Sanford was only 19 when he married Lucinda, he was said to have married and fathered 2 daughters in MS before marrying Lucinda. The Cass County branch of the family have a tradition that Joseph Sanford was married to two women simultaneously, maintaining two families at once, one in Mississippi and one with Lucinda in Texas. A trip away from Cass County, Texas probably occurred about early 1870, just prior to the 1870 Cass County, Texas US Census, and soon after the death of Joseph Sanford's second wife, Lucinda Taylor. The trip was to MS, where daughters of Joseph Sanford by his first marriage are believed to have lived at that time. Joseph Sanford and the family were traveling across Arkansas by wagon. Times were hard the family had to stop for awhile to earn money to buy supplies for the rest of the trip. The store owner, noticing Joseph Asa had no shoes, offered to keep and raise him as his own son, promising to see he got a good education. Joseph Sanford refused, however, and they eventually completed their trip back to Cass County, Texas. Joseph Sanford is believed to have moved to Marlow, Chickasaw Nation Indian Territory (now Stephens County), Oklahoma about 1890. He moved with the family of his son Joseph Asa. It is not clear whether Louisa Christian Jenkins had died before this time or had remained in Cass County, Texas, where she had independently owned a farm before she married Joseph Sanford as a widow. (The Epperson genealogy says Louisa died in Marlow, but we have no death details, and no record of the burial.) Joseph Asa said he loaded all of his possessions into two covered wagons for the move. This is most likely when the Red River crossing photographs were taken. It took him sixteen days to make the trip from Dalton, Texas, to Healdton, Chickasaw Nation, in Indian Territory. Two of Joseph Asa's brother-in-laws are believed to have been living in Healdton at that time. One is believed to have been Joseph Benjamin Christian (son of Louisa Christian Jenkins and step-son of Joseph Sanford) and his wife Catherine Smith, sister of Hester Ann, Joseph Asa's wife. The other is believed to have been Nelson Winter and his wife Margaret Catherine Jenkins, Joseph Asa's sister. Joseph Asa's family, including his father Joseph Sanford, apparently remained in Healdton only for a short time. He soon moved his family on to Marlow, where he leased Indian land and settled. According to Joseph, Marlow was first named Marlow Grove. It was here where the Marlow brothers, desperados from Texas, settled and built a large corral. The Chisholm cattle trail just happened to pass this way. When a cattle herd passed on the way to Kansas City, the Marlow brothers would try to have the drovers pen their cattle for a charge. If the cattlemen didn't, the Marlow brothers would stampede the herd at night. Then later on they would gather the strays and take them to Fort Sill where they were sold for the Indians. Joseph Sanford Jenkins passed away while living there on May 26, 1893, and was buried in the Marlow Cemetery. -- Based on family information originally compiled by Harold Keith Christian in the 1970s from various Jenkins family sources. Harold was a son of Sallie Jenkins Christian, daughter of Joseph Asa Jenkins and Hester Ann Smith. Edited and updated here by Orville Boyd Jenkins, grandson of Joseph Asa Jenkins, and first cousin of Harold Christian. See the whole story at http://objgenealogy.com/articles/josephsanfordjenkinshistory.pdf -------------- One proposal has been made that the Jack Jenkins who was the father of our Joseph Sanford Jenkins was a Choctaw Indian identified in documents as involved in the Choctaw Removal from Mississippi in 1830. Note that Joseph Sanford Jenkins was born in South Carolina in 1826 or so. But he lived in Mississippi till he was married and possibly had several children. He did not move west until after marriage. There are two individuals named Jack Jenkins that some have proposed in the documents related to Mississippi and the Choctaw Removal. One is reported with possible dates of 1744-1830. This individual died in 1830 before the Removal was implemented. The other is reported as a signatory to the Rabbit Creek Treaty, receiving permission to remain, but then inexplicably gave up his lands anyway to move to Indian Territory. The second Jack/Jock Jenkins is reported to have died about 1835 in Indian Territory. It may be that these two reports are meant to relate differing reports about the same Choctaw in Mississippi named Jack or Jock Jenkins. Or it could be two different individuals. Both these individuals named Jack/Jock Jenkins were from Mississippi, while our family is from South Carolina originally. Also, neither of these Jack Jenkinses of Mississippi were late enough to be the father of Joseph Sanford Jenkins, born in South Carolina in about 1826. in the 1880 census, Joseph reported that both his parents were also born in South Carolina. Jenkinses are thick and ancient in both the Carolinas. If that Jenkins line has Indian background, it would likely be Cherokee. These possible dates 1744-1830 would not make sense for the father of our J S Jenkins, who was born in 1826. With these dates, this Jack Jenkins would have been over 80 years old. Joseph Sanford's father would have been born around 1786-1800. The proposed son Abner Ernest Jenkins (1795-1877) is of an age to be a father of Joseph Sanford. At least one posted commentary, however, outlines reasons for doubt that Abner was a son of Jock/Jack. From our side, the timeline does not fit. This Abner moved away to Louisiana when our J S was still a small child. J S may not have even been in Mississippi yet by that time. He was born in South Carolina in about 1826, near the time of the Indian Removal in 1830 ff, and after Abner was already in Louisiana. Abner is reported born in South Carolina, which would match our family. But then Abner's first child Latisha Christian Jenkins is reported born in Georgia in 1809, and the next child William Thomas Jenkins is reported born in St Tammany Parish, Louisiana, in 1814. A report of his residence in Louisiana by 1808 is apparently erroneous. Besides the conflict with the birth of his first child in Georgia, he is not even mentioned and I cannot find anything about him in the one document presented as a source for that fact. Besides the birth in Louisiana, rather than South Carolina, there is no child reported for Abner with a name similar to Joseph Sanford Jenkins. Abner was in Louisiana by 1914 for the birth of his second child, 12 years before Joseph Sanford was born in South Carolina. At some point unknown, J S moved to Mississippi, whether with his parents or alone is unknown, and married there, where his first two children were born. His wife Lucinda Amanda Taylor was born in Mississippi, and they married in Mississippi, in about 1845. The county of marriage is unknown, and no residence information has been found. It is also rumored in family tradition that he had a wife prior to Lucinda, but no children from that marriage have been identified. The family rumor/tradition suggests that the first child Nell was the child of that supposed first wife. Nell was born about 1846, so that would place the suggested date of marriage to Lucinda Taylor closer to 1850. At any rate Joseph Sanford was living in Mississippi until after December 1850, when Lucinda and Joseph's son Cullen was born in Mississippi. The next three children were born in Georgia, the last on 31 May 1859. By April 1860 they were in Texas, where they were enumerated in the census in Cass County, Texas, near Texarkana. A possiblity for Jack's identity is one Andrew Jackson Jenkins, born in Souith Carolina as we would expect, and dying in the Pickens District, in western South Caroilna. Many of the peopel named Andrew Jackson went by Jack. The genealogy presenting this family has no spouse of children for Andrew Jackson.

Osa and Everett are listed in different households in different counties of Oklahoma. While Osa is in Earlsboro, Pottawatomie County, with 22-year-old Joseph and 2-year old Gene K, Everett ("Evert") is married to a Beaulah (Beulah?), with his other children. Beaulah at age 29 in 1930 is about 13 years younger than Ocy, who was reported as age 32 in 1920. Everett and Beaula and family appear to be living in a boarding house, or a multi-family home, at 305 King Street in Maud, Seminole County, Oklahoma. Children living with Everett and Beulah are Vernice, Harry, James (reported in previous censuses) and another daughter Annie V, age 9. 1930 Federal Census, Seminole County, Oklahoma, 2 April, Maud, District 19, page 1B, 305 King St, Hse #12, Fam #13 Jenkins, Evert Head Rents M W 41 First married age 19 TX TX TX Taylor [Tailor] Clothing Industry Jenkins, Beaulah Wife F W 29 First married age 23 OK TN AR Jenkins, Vernice Dau F W 19 Single OK TX OK Clerk, Variety Store Jenkins, Harry P Son M W 14 Single OK TX OK No Occupation Jenkins, James C Son M W 12 Single OK TX OK No Occupation Jenkins, Annie V Dau F W 9 Single OK TX OK No Occupation I would think from the given information that Anna, at age 9, was a daughter of Osa and that they divorced sometime after the birth of Gene, on 12 February 1928. In the 1930 census Osa is living in another town with her two sons James O and Gene. It is not clear why Osa is reported as a widow, unless that was the standard census entry for an adult no longer living with a spouse. The available information suggests that Osa and Everett divorced sometime in 1928, and Everett married Beulah sometime before the census in 1930. The census indicates that Beulah was age 23 at the time of first marriage and 29 at this census. Since it appears that Everett was still married to Ocy until 1928 (assuming that Gene is Everett's child born in wedlock), this seems to indicate that Beulah was married previously also, and either divorced or widowed before marrying Everett between 1928 and 1930. But the 1936 Oklahoma City directory seems to indicate that Everett and Osa (Ocy) are still married, or married again. Everett is back working in the Oil Fields as in 1920. This is puzzling after Osa being reported as divorced in 1930, and Evertt's wife being Beulah in 1930. I also found letters from Everett's grandmother Mattie Wall Terry to his stepmother Julia Virginia Terry Jenkins asking about "Ocy" and Everett in letters in the early 1930s. This seems to indicate they were still married at this time. I have found no other documentation of Osa with the name Beulah. Maybe they were back together for a short time? Oklahoma marriage and divorce records are not online. But the details for Beulah as Everett's wife do not match Osa. She is only 29 in 1930, while Osa was already 32 in 1920, and the birth states for Beulah and her parents are different from those previously reported for Osa. But then James Everett and Osa are together in the 1936 and 1937 Oklahoma City city directory. U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, City Directory, 1936, p 420 Jenkins Jas E (Osa) Ollwkr h 9l0 N Lindsay av U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, City Directory, 1937, p 382 Jenkins James E (Osa) r 923 1/2 NE 8th So who was Beulah? And if Everett is still married to Osa in 1936, what does the 1930 census record mean? Everett and Beulah also divorced. Since his wife is Beulah in 1930, why would he report Osa as the wife's name in 1936? Perhaps he and Beulah had already divorced and he reverted to referring to his older, long-time wife Osa as the wife when asked her name? In the 1940 census, Everett is reported as divorced. His two daughters are in the household. In 1940 Verniece is also divorced, but is enumerated under her maiden name. She is Verniece A instead of Verniece O as in 1920. The younger sister, matching Anna V in the 1930 census, is listed as Beatrice U. 1940 Federal Census, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, 7 May, Shawnee, District 63-54B, page 62A, 417 1/2 Tennessee St, Hse #242, Rents $20 Jenkins, James E Head M W 52 Divorced Grade H-4 b Texas Same place in 1935 Salesman, Clothing Store Jenkins, Verniece A Dau F W 29 Divorced Grade H-4 b Oklahoma Same place in 1935 Clerk, Clothing Store Jenkins, Beatrice U Dau F W 19 Single Grade H-4 b Oklahoma Same place in 1935 Waitress Everett lived for a long time in Bellflower, California. But Everett and Osa must have remarried. It is not certain, but they were living in Orange County, and are buried in the same cemetery, where their son Harry and other Jenkinses are also buried. In 1946, Everett's parents (father and stepmother) visited them out in California, and in Jennie Jenkins' collection of photos there was one of Josepjh Asa and Jennie at a restaurant with Everett and, presumably, his wife. But the inidivdual names are not noted on the photo. We have not seen any other photo of Osa. On Everett's Social Security records his name is found as just James Jenkins.

Apparently the birth date was correct incorrectly on his stone after it was ordered. Note that on the Headstone application (above), the birth date is 3 May 1918. But on the grave, as reported in the Veteran's Gravesite and Find a Grave databases, the month has been changed to August. The California death index reports the correct date of 3 May 1918, agreeing with the headstone order, reflecting family information and the death record. When the birth date and other information was submitted to the memorial, it was updated as seen below.

Randolph was commonly called Randel. Family sources name him James Randoloph Jenkins. In his will he provided for a home to be provided for 5 years after his death to a current resident on a part of his property. The name in a typewritten transcript of the original will is spelled as John Burce. This is commonly thought to be John Burel. One of Randel's daughters married John and Patience Burel's oldest son Louis. There are strong ties between the Jenkins and Burel/Burrell famillies and intermarriages at several levels. Members of the two families moved from South Carolina to Georgia and Mississippi together and others from there to Arkansas County, Arkansas. Randel was in Union District, South Carolina before the first census of the united States in 1790. 1790 Federal Census, Union District, South Carolina Randel Jenkins Free White Persons - Males - Under 16: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 16 and over: 1 Free White Persons - Females: 1 1800 Federal Census, Union District, South Carolina Randle Jinkins Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 3 Free White Persons - Males -10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 3 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16: 8 Number of Household Members Over 25: 2 "My grandfather was Joseph Samuel Jenkins, whose ancestors settled in Attalaville in the mid-19th.

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, who was the father of my great grandfather, Owen Selvy Jenkins, who died of wounds from the civil war at the age of 35. Samuel M. Jenkins was 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 ----------------
The Neely genealogy comments that James Richard Jenkins was half Choctaw and his wife was full-blood Cherokee. They both died in Sumner County, Mississippi, according to the records attached to this genealogy. James' wife was Elizabeth Jane Giddens. For James to be half Choctaw, one of his parents had to full-blood, or each had to be half-blood. No other sources mentions this. If James Richard was half Choctaw, then that means all his brothers and sisters were too, and yet James is the only sibling of this family so reported in the Neely genealogy. Also I wonder why he would have been Choctaw if he was born in South Carolina of a mother born in South Carolina. No genealogy reports Sara Catherine Jenkins' maiden name or any personal information or her parents. I have found nothing to tie her to the Choctaw Nation, and no indication that it could be Sam Jenkins who was the Choctaw parent. Oddly there is no discussion or explanation at all in the Neely genealogy. I posted a question on the genealogy in October 2013, but there is no answer as of March 2017. "James Richard Jenkins parents were my 4th great grandparents the Jenkins were all originally from Union County, South Carolina. My grandmother was Sicily Burrell Caldwell her mother was Nancy Jenkins." -- Annelle Taylor, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/35326052/person/18783107901/mediax/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid%7CpgNum&ftm=1 It is interesting that Annelle's surname is Taylor (maiden or married?), and there are two individuals in Sam Jenkins' household in 1870 named Taylor. Annelle reports that her great-great-great-great grandparents were James Richard Jenkins' parents, which appear to be Sam and Sara Jenkins. Her grandmother was Sicily Burrell, whose mother Annelle says was Nancy Jenkins. Without the intervening generations it is not possible to tell how the descent occurs. But it would be paternal, since her grandmother's surname was Jenkins. Was that her maiden name or married name? A couple of genealogies identify Sicily Burrell Caldwell that Annelle mentions as the wife of James Richard Jenkins. This is impossible from Annelle's comments. I have been unable to find any documentation for her, and reported details remain limited. The names of James' and Sicily's children are presented by some genealogies. I have not found a record of the maiden name of either wife of Samuel Jenkins. The Jenkins Genealogy by W H Jack gives some details with explanations that sounds like personal knowledge, but again with no documentation.
