Notes for Jack JENKINS


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.

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.

Jenkins, and first cousin of Harold Christian.  See the whole story at

--------------

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.

Susan went by the nickname Sudie.  And in the 1900 census, as reflected in
Jana's genealogy above, she was reported as Stella.  It is not clear if this
was really one of her names or if this was just an enumerator error.

Everett (recorded as Evert) is reported in the 1910 census as a Tailor in a
"Cleaning and Pressing" business.  Harold Christian seems to indicate in the
Jenkins Family History that the Dry Cleaning business was owned by Everett's
brother Ben (Joseph Benjamin).

"Everett married Ocy McClanahan, whose parents are believed to have lived on a
farm west of Marlow.  Everett subsequently moved to Mountain View where he
later worked with his brother Ben in his dry cleaning shop."
--  Harold Keith Christian, Jenkins Family History, private document.

In 1918 he is reported living in Healdton, a town form the Jenkins family
history, working in the oil fields.

In the 1920 census he and Ocy are living west and south of Healdton near
Wichita Falls, Texas, on the Red River at Burkburnett, Wichita County, Texas. 
He and his brother-in-law Neil Yates (husband of Mary Jenkins) are both
working as drillers in the oil fields there.  The two families live in the
same household.

By 1930, the picture has changed considerably.  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.

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

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.

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.

There is one other record found for this Florida location for James.  A city
directory reports James Jenkins, (no middle initial) with his wife Cordelia in
Jacksonville.  The year is 1958, which indicates a span of about 40 years

I found a memorial on Find a Grave for a James Edward Jenkins buried in
Gaffney, in Cherokee County, a little west of where James was born and where
his parents Howard and Ada were buried.

James Edward's date of birth matches the census age in 1940 of James Jenkins,
son of Howard Jenkins & Ada Louis McSwain, but this is a different James
Jenkins.  James Edward's memorial does not state his parents' names, but they
are found in the same cemetery:  Clarence and Anna Jenkins.

The U S Veteran's Gravesite database provides the full form of James' middle
name.  This record also has a little different name for the cemetery of burial
than that reported on the Veteran's Administration record for his military
gravestone.  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. 
I also saw incidentally that the creator of the memorial had transferred the
memorial to me to manage.

Notes for James Randolph JENKINS


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.

----------------
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, 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.

Notes for James Richard JENKINS


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.

the vacinity of Jenins households.  Assuming that Jana has the correct name
from family sources, when we see the 1940 census, where James' wife is
reported as Bernice, that the enumerator in 1930 misheard Bernice's name
(Bernie) as Vernie.

James' middle initial was W.  This probably stood for Walter, like he named
his son James Walter.  But one genealogy reports it as Woodrow. 
Unfortunately, they provide no documentation or comment.  There are others in
this lineage name James W.

Note that the children have all the same birth states as their parents.  Thus
we can discount the reliability of this census for birth place info.  It
reports Weldon's mother Rosly as born in North Carolina, but on Weldon's
repord it says his mother was born in SC.

James' date of birth reported on his death certificate is 10 June 1886.  But
he reported to Social Security the same  date in 1884.  This is also the date
reported in his burial memorial, and the 1900 census.
