Notes

  • Joseph Benjamin Jenkins, Jr, changed his name to Brian Jay.  Reported to me by descendant Richard Kevin Jenkins.  Also name is recorded as Brian Jay in the Epperson Genealogy.
    --  http://epperson.eppygen.org/FamilyTree/F684.htm

    I also received communication from Brian's son Bruce about family members.  Bruce says Brian Jay is also known as Benjamin Jenkins.  Brian Jay is reported in the 1920 census as Benjamin J.  I was later in touch with Brian directly.

    Note that Ben Jr (later changed his name to Brian Jay) is reported as Single.  There is a conflict here with other family information.  His son Bruce reports that his half-sister Sherry Dale is the daughter of Laverna Riddle.  The conflict is that Sherry Dale was born in 1936, and is enumerated with her grandparents in Whittier, California, in the 1940 census.  This is consistent with the 1940 report of Ben Jr's residence in 1935 in Whittier.  In the 1940 census, 3-year-old Sherry was enumerated in the household of her mother's parents.

    Laverna must have died before the 1940 census, though it has been suggested that they were divorced.  in 1940 Brian (Ben) was reported as Single rather than Widowed or Divorced.  I have not found either a marriage or a divorce record for Brian and Laverna.  I have not found a 1940 census record for Laverna Riddle Jenkins.  Their marriage would have been about 1935 or very early 1936, based on Sherry's birth date in December 1936.

    "My mom’s name was Janice Marie Farley. She was born August 2, 1921 in Texas, and died in Feb 1981 in San Juan Capistrano, CA.  My Mom and Dad were married Dec 14th, 1942."
