Sallie was born in Wapanucka , Chickasaw Nation, in what is now Johnston County, Oklahoma. Wapanucka had been the location of a Confederate hospital and prison, after the Chickasaw Nation joined the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "The Chickasaw government joined the Confederate States of America after the outbreak of the Civil War. The Union army ordered its troops to evacuate Fort Washita, Fort Cobb and Fort Arbuckle.

Next door to Samuel and his children is John (Berry) Burrell, married to Sam's daughter Polly (Mary Ann) Jenkins. Others enumerated on the same page are Isabella Burrell and her husband John Jenkins. He is reported by one genealogy as John James Jenkins, another son of Samuel. With the dates of birth of the other known children of Samuel M Jenkins and his wife Sara, John could have been born around 1825, as reported. But this does match any child reported by other sources.

Nancy appears to be the second wife of Samuel, since she has not appeared with the family before, and Samuel had no wife in 1850. Elizabeth is a daughter of the first wife. A genealogy reports the name of the first wife as Sara Catherine, with maiden name unknown. This genealogy reports no death date, and from other sources, her death date is unknown. That genealogy reports all children as the children of Sara, but has no second wife. Sara Catherine is reported born in 1790. This would mean that when Richard (Dick) was born in 1849, Sara was about 59 years old. This is not very likely, though perhaps possible. This genealogy also, lacking the 1850 and 1870 censuses, reports Nancy as a child of Samuel, rather than his wife. But there is no child named Nancy in the 1850 census.

Thomas Asa was known to the family as Asa. My father (and maybe other siblings) called him "Acy." This was also an early nickname for my grandfather Joseph Asa. One family source records Joseph Asa's birth under the name Joseph Acy Jenkins. "Asa, the second child of this marriage was born on 3 November 1903 while the family was living on the farm near Bradley. Following Asa's birth, Joseph moved his family into Bradley. He purchased a mercantile store from a Mr. Cater. During this period he sold groceries and drygoods and also served as Bradley Postmaster." -- Jenkins Family History by Harold K Christian, http://objgenealogy.com/articles/josephsanfordjenkinshistory.pdf, p 17 1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 2 May, District #239, p #18A, 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, Asa Son M W 7 s OK TX TX In 1912, Asa was taken to British Columbia, Canada, along with all his brothers and sisters.

They were originally in the appliance business, but after Mr. Grubbs died in 1941, Asa bought out Grubbs' share from his family. In 1956 Asa expanded by buying a furniture store in town, which he later merged with the appliance business into one store. Asa was in business till he retired in 1962, when he closed the business. Asa's son Asa Lee decided in 1962 to open his own, separate furniture business. He was in business with this store until he retired and sold it in 1983. After his retirement, his lawyer son, Larry Wade Jenkins, prevailed upon him to go into title work for him. =============== 1940 Federal Census, Caddo County, Oklahoma, 9 April, Anadarko, District 8-6, page 7B, 408 W Louisiana St, Hse #157, Owns $2500 Jenkins, Asa Head M W 36 Grade HS-4 b Oklahoma same place in 1935 Maytag Dealer Jenkins, Nova B Wife F W 31 Grade Col-2 b Oklahoma same place in 1935 Jenkins, Asa Lee Son M W 9 Single Grade 3 b Oklahoma Jenkins, Ronald W Son M W 1 Single b Oklahoma U.S. WWII Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947 Thomas Asa Jenkins Age 38 Birth 3 Nov 1903 Grady, Oklahoma, USA Residence Anadarko, Oklahoma, USA Self-Employed Next of Kin J A Jenkins (father] (back) 5' 8" 145 lbs, Brown Eyes, BlackHair, Light Complexion Registration 15 Feb 1942 The Social Security Death Index reports a quite different date of death from that reported by Harold Christian from family sources.

Could this be Mountain View Cemetery? No Thomas Jenkins was found in Find a Grave memorials for Mountain View Cemetery. A burial is found under the name of Drayton Jenkins in Little Memorial Cemetery in Blacksburg. (See Find a Grave memorial below.) Other family members are buried there as well. Also, what appears to be his wife's death certificate reports she was buried in Little Memorial. But the death date for that Drayton Jenkins is reported as 31 December 1929, which is his wife's date of death! Drayton's wife is reported in censuses as Rossly, Rosely and Rosly, representing Rosalie. Her burial memorial on FAG has Rossie. On her death certificate and gravestone, is reported on her death certificate as dying on 30 December 1929.. But her grave says 3 December 1929, the date on Drayton's death certificate. The grave markers for Drayton and his wife are footstones in the same style. It appears they were both cut at the same time. Since they died in the same month, this makes sense. But the stonecutters switched the dates of death for the two on their gravestones! A descendant and researcher reports that Drayton's cause of death was heart attack, and also confirms our conclusion that the death dates were switched. ----------------- "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.

Virginia Jo was killed in a shotgun accident in a family home. A loaded shotgun was discovered by children when a big family gathering was underway at a family home in Lone Wolf, Kiowa County, Oklahoma. The gun went off and killed Virginia Jo. The story was related to me by my father, Orville Lee Jenkins, Virgina Jo's older brother. This event was a key reference in our family's gun safety awareness. Nancy Charlton found Virginia Jo's obituary and posted a memorial on Find a Grave. Jody is the only Jenkins buried in the Ft Cobb cemtery. Additional information I submitted was added to the memorial. ---------------------- Virginia Jo Jenkins Birth Aug 28, 1925 Fort Cobb, Caddo County, Oklahoma Death Jun 29, 1930 Lone Wolf, Kiowa County, Oklahoma Parents: Joseph Asa Jenkins (1866 - 1962) Julia Virginia Terry Jenkins (1880 - 1966) Siblings: James Everett Jenkins (1886 - 1963) Half-siblng Joseph Benjamin Jenkins (1889 - 1978) Half-siblng Sallie Hester Jenkins Christian (1893 - 1982) Half-siblng Ocy Belle Jenkins (1896 - 1896) Half-sibling Mary Nettie Jenkins Yates (1897 - 1991) Half-sibling Mabel Clare Jenkins Hill (1901 - 1990) Thomas Asa Jenkins (1903 - 1969) Nannie May Jenkins (1905 - 1906) Rhonda Fay Jenkins Boyd (1907 - 1963) Arthur Carthal Jenkins (1909 - 1955) Orville Lee Jenkins (1912 - 1987) Gladys Lahoma Jenkins Hendron (1914 - 1991) Martha Netheline Jenkins Callaway (1918 - 2007) The Carnegie Herald, Wed., July 2, 1930 Gun Discharge Is Fatal to Playmate Grim tragedy stalked into the midst of a happy family reunion at Lone Wolf Sunday and claimed little Virginia Jo, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Jenkins of Fort Cobb. The little girl was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of a small playmate. The accident occurred while most of the family were seated at the dinner table, the children playing in an adjoining room having obtained the gun which was thought to have been concealed in a closet. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Fort Cobb Monday afternoon [30 June 1930] and interment made in the cemetery there. The Jenkins family has lived in Fort Cobb for the past nine years where Mr. Jenkins is employed as night watchman.
