    But the husband Ruth is buried with is a different Jenkins than that reported in other records.  Rather than James M Jenkins, as the famiily info gives us, the name on the grave and memorial for her husband in the joint grave is Theodore Thomas Jenkins, son of Theodore T Jenkins and Phebe Alice Wigham, who appears to be of no kin to the Jenkses of Cass County and Bowie County, Texas.
