Notes
- In 1850 the census reported Martha as a 13-year-old in her paretns' home in Weakley County, Tennessee.
Some genealogies have reported this Martha as the wife of John Wesley Jenkins in the same county. But that Martha Pentecost was born in 1826, and she married John W Jenkins in 1845, when the person reported here would have been only 9 years old. I suspect the older Martha was the sister of this Martha's father, whose full name and parentage are uncertain.
