She always went by Nan. We called her Aunt Nan. Her funeral information had her name as Netheline M Callaway. This order of her names is also found in the Social Security Death Index, though no family source agrees. The censuses which record her variously as Martha N, Mattie N, and Netheline (with no other initial). She was my favorite aunt on my Dad's side (Orville Lee Jenkins), or at least the one I was closest to. She is the one of Dad's siblings I have the earliest childhood memories of as a distinct person. I was 7 or 8, Nan came and stayed with us a few days when we lived on 11th Street (US Hwy 287 West) in Quanah, Texas. This was before she married. Nan married late in life and never had children of her own. She loved Lenard's children like her own, and always spoke to us of them with deep affection, and she would keep us updated on news of her family. I remember our family visiting them in Midwest City when I was a child. I remember going to church services with them at First Baptist Church. My girlfriend Edith made a trip with our family to Oklahoma in 1968 and we visited Nan and Lenard then. Later after Edith and I were married we visited them many times. When we were back in the US from Kenya, East Africa, in 1980-81, we visited them with our two new boys, in the US for the first time. In her first census enumeration 1-year-old Nan is listed by Mattie, the nickname for her first name Martha. 1920 Federal Census, Kiowa County, Oklahoma, 3 January, Mt View, District 14, Page 1A, Hse/Fam #1 Jenkins, Joseph A Head M W 54 TX NC MS Farmer Jenkins, Juliva Wife FW 39 TX GA NC Jenkins, Matty N Dau F W 1 OK TX TX When she is 11 in the next census, she is enumerated as Netheline. 1930 Federal Census, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 1 April, Fort Cobb, District 26, p 9A, Hse #181, Fam #215 Joe A Jenkins Head M W 63 TX MS MS Julia Jenkins Wife F W 49 TX GA NC Netheline Jenkins dau F W 11 OK TX TX Nan's family moved to Chickasha between 1935 and 1938.

I would think that the funeral announcement information was based on information from Lenard, but we heard no update on the place where she was when she died. Maybe she was moved from Richardson to a nearby facility in Plano, where she died shortly after. I am reporting the place of death as Lenard gave it to us. The funeral was held 5 April 2007 in First Baptist Church, Midwest City, Oklahoma, where Lenard and Nan had been members for decades. The funeral, with burial following in Arlington Memory Garden, was conducted by Bill Eisenhour Southeast Funeral Home, Oklahoma City. Here is the text of the Obituary that appeared in the Midwest City Sun, 8 April 2007: "Netheline (Nan) Callaway, 88, died March 30, 2007, in Plano, Texas. A funeral service was 2 p.m. April 5 at the First Baptist Church in Midwest City. Burial followed at Arlington Memory Gardens. Services were under the direction of Bill Eisenhour Southeast. She was born Dec. 25, 1918, in Mountain View, to Joseph and Virginia (Terry) Jenkins. She moved the Midwest City area from Chickasha in 1947. Nan married Lenard Callaway in Oklahoma City June 5, 1959. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Midwest City and was an administrative assistant for the FAA. She resigned to work with Lenard on other business ventures. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Lenard Callaway; three stepchildren, Tricia Callaway Bolz, Tony and Michael Callaway; and many nieces and nephews."

In the 1860 census, Mary Fances is reported under the nickname for her middle nmae, Franky. Her age was reported as 7 years making her birth in about 1853.

One early source records the name of what appears to be this same child as "Mary Louizer" (Family note paper, in the possession of family members). This source also states the date as 21 Jan 1857, whereas in another report, Harold Christian gives the date of birth as 20 Jan 1857. Her death record has her name as Mary Lou Chapel. Her son John's death certificate reports his mother's name as Mary Jane Jenkins. "It is just possible that Joseph's family lived in the Atlanta, Georgia, area when William, Lide and Amanda were born. Or perhaps they had relatives living in that area during the period they were receiving the paper. Later known as 'Bud,' William accompanied the family from Georgia to Cass County, Texas, ca 1860 [they were in the 1860 census in Cass County]" -- Jenkins Family History by Harold Keith Christian Online, http://objgenealogy.com/articles/josephsanfordjenkinshistory.pdf, p 5 She was listed in the 1860 census only as M L. 1860 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 17 October, Beat #3, Post Office Unionville & Cusseta, Page 73, Hse #483, Fam #495 Jinkins Jno 32 M W Farmer 300 SC Cannot read and write Jinkins L 36 F W MS Jinkins N 14 F W MS Attended school during the last year Jinkins J W 10 M W MS Attended school during the last year [b abt 1850] Jinkins W L 7 M W GA [b abt 1853] ** Jinkins M L 3 F W GA [b abt 1857] ** Jinkins L 1 F W GA [b abt 1859] Harold K Christian (Jenkins Family History, private paper) reports her proper name as Mary Lydia, with nickname Lide. I think, however, that the actual given name was Lydie. -- OBJ In censuses, Mary is reported as being born in Mississippi, matching the report of marriage of her parents Joseph Sanford Jenkins and Lucinda Amanda Taylor. However, the 1860 census above reports Mary was born in Georgia, along with two other siblings, matching family information. This is also consistent with the birth of her older brother's and younger sister's birth in Georgia, reported in family history. The 1880 census likewise reports Mery Lydie was born in Georgia. The family does not appear in the 1870 census. 1880 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 16 June, District 12, Precinct 3, Page 17, House and Family #144 Jenkins, Joseph W M 52 Farmer SC SC SC Jenkins, Louisa W F 42 Wife Keeps House Miss Miss Ireland Jenkins, Mary L W F 21 Daughter Farming Ga SC Miss The birth states here differ from those on earlier census reports for her parents.

Harold Keith Christian reports in the Jenkins Family History (private paper) that Mary was born on the family farm near Marlow. 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 19 June, District 164, Marlow, Page #310, Family #133 Jenkins, Joe Head W M JUN 1866 33 Married 13 yrs TX SC GA Farmer Jenkins, Hattie Wife W F JUL 1870 29 Married 13 yrs 6 children/4 living TX TN TX Jenkins, Mary N Dau W F OCT 1897 2 Ind Terr TX TX In 1912 Mary made a trip to British Columbia. A Canadian Immigration record reports her entry with her stepmother Jennie and the other children to join Mary's father Joseph Asa, who was working there helping build the Canadian-Alaskan Highway. The family went to Vancouver by train. This record reports that Mary was born in Texas. For some reason this immigration record has all the children born in Texas, like Jennie, though other records, including family information, tells us all the children were born in Marlow, Oklahoma.

Family information reported by Harold Christian indicates the wedding was in Marlow, but no family member had the date of the marriage. The 1930 census reports Mary was married at age 17. In the 1920 census, Neil Yates and Mary Jenkins are enumerated with two kids, living in the same household with Mary's brother Everett and his wife Ocy and family in Burkburnett, Texas, in the 1920 census. 1920 Federal Census, Wichita County, Texas, 13 January, Burkburnett Town, District 197, page 8B, Hse #157, Fam #202 James E Jenkins Head M W 32 TX TX TX Driller Oilfield Osa I Jenkins Wife F W 32 OK MO MO Joseph P Jenkins Son M W 11 OK TX OK Verneice O Jenkins Son F W 9 OK TX OK Harry C Jenkins Son M W 4yr 6mos OK TX OK James P Jenkins Son M W 1yr 7mos OK TX OK - Fam #203 - Yates, Neil Head M W 23 OK TX TX Driller, Oilfield Yates, Mary M Wife F W 22 OK TX TX Yates, O'Neil O C Son M W 2 OK OK OK Mary A Yates Dau F W 9 months TX OK OK (yields birth in March 1919) The 1930 census entry is somewhat messy, being written with a wide-nibbed pen and being somewhat smeared and faded. The Ancestry.com transcriptions, further, are incorrect in several regards. Mary's name is written by the enumerator as Yates, Mary H, rather than Mary N. Neil's name appears to be spelled Niel. In 1930 Neil and Mary are living in North Caddo Township of Caddo County, Oklahoma.

Their names are reported only as initials. They would seem to match the two daughters who appear in each other census, Mahala or Mahuldah the older, and Matilda the younger. Ages are off a little, but we see ages vary a good bit for the children, although Elizabeth's matches birth in 1801 every time. Thus S M would match Mahala/Mahuldah and M C would then be Matilda. The new initial C is clarified in the 1800 census, where the child named Caroline there matches Matilda. 1870 Federal Census, Greenville County, South Carolina, 2 November, O'Neal Township, P O Sandy Flat, page 19 [scan 509], Hse/Fam #116 Jenkins, Elizah 69 F W Keeping House $750 Real Estate $300 Personal Estate born SC [b abt 1801] Jenkins, S M 35 F W At Home born SC [b abt 1835] Jenkins, M C 33 At Home born F W born SC [b abt 1837] In 1880 Caroline matches the person reported twice as Matilda and in 1870 as M C. 1880 Federal Census, Greenville County, South Carolina, 16 June, O'Neal Township, page 37 [scan 91], Hse #342, Fam #345 Jenkins, Elizabeth W F 79 Farming SC SC SC [b abt 1801] Jenkins, Mahaley W F 44 dau Keeping House SC SC SC [b abt 1836] Jenkins, Caroline W 45 Dau Single SC SC SC [b abt 1835] Howard, William W M 20 Farm Laborer SC SC SC [b abt 1787] Matilda Caroline Jenkins BIRTH 1835 Greenville County, South Carolina, USA DEATH 12 Jan 1922 (aged 86-87) Greenville County, South Carolina, USA BURIAL Few Family Cemetery, Greer, Greenville County, South Carolina Parents: Vinson Jenkins 1802-1836 Elizabeth Few Jenkins 1801-1886 Siblings: Mahala S Jenkins unknown-1896 Benjamin Vinson Jenkins 1835-1882 Created by Robin Farley Dixson 24 Apr 2005 -- Find A Grave Memorial 10846550, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10846550/matilda-caroline-jenkins

The 1870 census reportes tyhree daughters, Mary A, presumed to be Mary Ann, age 4, Nancy age 3 and Minerva 1 months old. Nancy's memorial on Find a Grave reprots her nanme as Nancy Ann. This seems odd, since her older sister's middle name was apparently Ann. But Nancy's grave has her name as Nancy A. It is possible both girls had the same middle name.
