Notes for Louella Lucille JENKINS


An earlier version of a family genealogy on the Cass County family reported
that Ebby Jenkins and Lula Harraman had a daughter Lucile born in 1905.  Many
related family genealogies have picked this up and repeated it, all without
any documentation or reference.  I also referenced this source for this child,
getting my first information on this branch of the Jenkins family from the
Cass County genealogy, whose residents were unknown to our branch of the
Jenkins lineage

But I can find no basis or record for such a child, who has now been removed
from the Cass County genealogy, but not from those who copied this error from
that one and ours.  Ebby and his second wife Harriett Charlton had a daughter
named Lucille in 1917.  This daughter was reported as Louella in the 1920
census and as Lucile in the 1930 census.

Louella was reported as the first child of Ebby Elijah Jenkins and his second
wife Harriet Charlton Tefteller.  In the 1920 census she is listed as Louella
Jenkins, and in 1930 as Lucile Jenkins.  That seems to indicate that these
were her two given names.  I have not seen the name Louella in other records
or family sources.

I have put these names in the order Louella Lucile just for euphony.  This
seems the most likely sequence of names given the geographical and cultural
context.  I have not seen any single source with both these names.  The family
genealogy by Dottie Wommack has her name only as Lucille Jenkins.  Did the
1920 enumerator just mistakenly write Louella for Lucille?

1920 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 20 June, Justice Precinct 3,

Jenkins, Emma Fay Dau F W 12 TX TX TX  [b abt 1908]
Jenkins, Louella Dau F W 2 months TX TX TX [b abt Oct 1919]

With the census date of 1 January, assuming the enumerator was following that,
Louella's age at 2 months would put her death in about October 1919.  But in
1930, the child Lucile who seems to match her otherwise is reported as 12
years old in April 1930.  This would place her birth in 1918.

1930 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 9 April, Justice Precinct 3, District

Jenkins, Harret [sic] Wife F W 38 First married at age 21 TX TX AL [b abt
1892]
Jenkins, Lucile Dau F W 12 TX TX TX [b Mar 1918]

This individual is known as Lucile in the family.  Lucile's marriage record
reports her age as 18 in 1935, which would mean about 13 in 1930, which is a
rough match for the census report of age 12 in 1930.  This brings into
questions the age reported in the 1920 census, supposedly by her parents. 
That could be an enumerator error.

A birth date in October 1818 would better fit which would mean she was 1 year
and 2 months, not just 2 months in January 1920.  But her grave reports her
birth date as 30 November 1917.  So on 1 January 1920, she would have been 2
years and 1 month.  (The census taker was actually at their house in June
1920.  The enumerators often ignored the technical census date in reporting
age.)  The enumerator might have erred by putting 2 months when the parents
said two years.

I have not seen any information on why she would have been in Eldorado,
Arkansas, at age 18, when her family was in Cass County, Texas (east Texas).

Notes for Mabel Clare JENKINS


I remember Aunt Mabel from my earliest years. We would visit her often, as she
lived in Chickasha, Oklahoma, the same town as my grandparents.  Even as an
adult, I do not remember ever knowing her middle name.  Mabel had been
divorced earlier, and I never knew her husband Oscar.

1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 2 May, District #239, p #18A,
P #251, Wall Township, Marlow City, Fourth Ward, Family #347:
Jenkins, Joseph A. Head M W 43 m-2 9-yrs TX SC MS City Marshall
Jenkins, Julia V. Wife F W 29 m-1 9-yrs 5/4 GA GA TX (should be NC)
Jenkins, Mabel Dau F W 8 s OK TX TX

Mabel is not in the 1920 census with her parents.  I have not yet found her in
a 1920 census record.

I note that in the 1910 census Mabel's mother is reported as born in Georgia
in Julia's own listing, but in Mabel's record she is reported as born in
Texas!  I have found that the Texas birth place is right, though there was
some confusion in the children's reports from census to census and in later
memories reported to their children.

In 1912 Mabel went to British Columbia with her mother and siblings.  A
Canadian Immigration record reports their entry at White Rock, British
Columbia, on their way to join Mary's father Joseph Asa in Vancouver.  The
family went to Vancouver by train.  This record says all the children were
born in Texas, like Jennie, though from family and public records, we know all
the children were born in Marlow, Oklahoma.

In 1919, Mabel married Oscar Hill.  The license reports they were both
residents of Mt View, Washita County, and were married in Cordell in the same
county.

Oklahoma, County Marriage Records, 1890-1995
Mable Jenkins, Age 18 (born abt 1901)

Ceremony by C C Barnhardt, Methodist Minister, of Cordell, Washita County,
Oklahoma

Recorded 7 October 1919

In the 1930 census Mabel's mother is now reported as born in Georgia, where we
have been seeing reports for Texas on other censuses, as discussed in Notes
for Jennie.  This is what the family had handed down, but several censuses
report either Jennie herself as born in Texas, or children's entries showing
their mother born in Texas.

1930 Federal Census, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 2 April, Ft Cobb Town, District

Oscar Hill  Head M W 31 TX MO TX
Mable Hill  Wife F W 26 OK TX GA GA
Kerwyn Hill Son S W 8 OK TX OK
Vevajune Hill Dau F W 3yrs 11mos  OK TX OK

Mabel's middle name is spelled Claire in the Epperson Genealogy, but it
appears as Clare in Jenkins Family History by Harold K Christian.  This is
also the spelling in notes taken by Lou Ila Jenkins, thought to be information
from Jennie Jenkins, Mabel's mother.  In 2013 I also found family photos with
Mabel's name on the back written in her mother's handwriting

I found that her name on her gravestone is spelled Mable.  It is hard to tell
why this error would have occurred.  I never saw it spelled in family sources
other than Mabel.  I later found that this is the spelling of her name in the
1930 census.  I have commonly seen the name spelled Mabel, though I have found
that some people spell the name Mable, as on the gravestone.  I found that on
the Fairlawn Cemetery Registry, the name is spelled as Mabel, despite the
error on the gravestone.

Mabel and Oscar divorced soon afte the 1930 census.  His daughter with his new
wuife Frances is reproted as 8 years old in 1940.  So they probably got
married in 1931.

In the 1940 census, Mabel is the Divorced head of the household with her two
children Charles Kerwyn and Veva June.  Note that the enumerator wrote
Charles' name as Charles C, though his middle name was Kerwyn, as reported in
the 1930 census.  Veva June was enumerated earlier in her father's household,
about 7 days before this enumeration of her mother's household.

1940 Federal Census, Grady County, Oklahoma, 12 April, Chickasha Ward 1 Block

Mabel's obituary, discovered online only in August 2016, refers to her by a
nickname I never heard all my life from any of her family.

In the 1860 census, the daughter enumerated as Mahuldah matches the entry for
Mahala in 1850.

In 1870, only two children are reported in Elizabeth Few Jenkins' household,
both daughters.  Their names are reported only as initials.  Thus S M would
match Mahal/Mahuldah and M C would then be Matilda.  The initial C is
clarified in the1880 census, where the child named Caroline there matches
Matilda.

reported twice as Matilda and in 1870 as M C.

Notes for Mallie M JENKINS


-----------------
"My grandmother Lillie Florence Jenkins is not mentioned ever living with
Drayton and Rosalie that I can find.  She is in early census records living
with her sister Mala and her husband.  You are correct on the death dates
being switched on Drayton and Rosalie.  Drayton had a heart attack and was
found dead in some woods near his home.

They are buried at Little Memorial Baptist Church Cemetery in Gaffney, SC. 
And are directly next to my grandparents. Joseph Graham Northey and Lillie
Florence Jenkins Northey. ... Drayton and Rosalie lived in Blacksburg at the
time of their deaths. ...

I never met either of my great-grandparents or my grandmother Lillie.  She
died when my mom was 8.  If you ever find anything about Rosalie, please let
me know.  She is just a total mystery.  (She was a Harris before she married
Drayton Jenkins.)

Notes for Margurette Catherine JENKINS


Jimmy Epperson reports her name with the spelling Margeret:
http://genealogy.eppytx.com/FamilyTree/F014.htm

"Known as Kate, Margaret was born January 6, 1862, probably on the family farm
near Dalton, Texas."

In 1900 Nelson has married Margaret (spelled Margurette by the family)
Cassandra Jenkins.  They are in Chickasaw Nation of Indian Territory, with
three children.  From the birth of the oldest child here, we can estimate they
married about 1886 In Texas.

Margaret's census reports are uncertain about where her father was born.  Note
that in 1880, while she is living with her parents, Joseph is reported born in
South Carolina, which matches family history.  The 1900 and 1910 censuses show
both Margaret's parents both born in Mississippi, though Joseph was born in
South Carolina.

In the 1920 census, it appears the enumerator just copied Nelson's information
for Margaret.  Also in 1910, she is called Catherine E.  I don't know what the
E might have represented.  We know of no other name for Margaret (or
Marguerette) Catherine Jenkins.

The T is not visible in Magaret's name, because of a faded spot that also
blots out the top of the S in Sydney's middle initial.  Compare the birth date
reported here for Claude (Claudie) with the ages in 1910 and 1920, which would
mean he was born in 1894 (if birthday was in October).
