Life History

Notes

• The Sunday Post, Vicksburg, Mississipppi, "Info on Jenkins Family Shared," p B5, 10 July 1988
  A long list of names are given with birth dates and some marriage dates.  But the article notes that for most, no relationships are given.  The first name on the list is John James Jenkins, born April 5, 1830.  The third entry reports that John James Jenkins married Eliza L Ables December 28, 1886.  They are linked on Find a Grave.
  The article later notes that this may be the same John Jenkins who first married Isabelle.  Other records show that John James Jenkins married Isabella Avilla Burrell.
