  I found another, older Clarence Jenkins in Ouachita County, Arkansas also.  He married Bessie Bailey in 1933, and the age given makes him born about 1908.  There are a number of other Jenkinses living in Ouachita County, and I have not been able to determine if they are related in any way.

  I found a set of memorials on Find a Grave for a Clarence and Lovellia Jenkins in Borger, Texas, that match our Clarence and Louvellia closely.  There are no details on birth places or parents to confirm definitely.  Clarence's middle name here is Burl.  the only other indication of his name is the initial E, reported in the 1930 census.  Otherwise I have found no information on Clarence's middlle name.  The details here led to the discovery of Clarence's death certificate which confirmed that Clarence Burl is the son of Cullen and Ada Dycus Jenkins.
