You have indeed found Eliz. Jenks and Hanbury.Eliz. was born on 05 May 1805 and was left in England when her family came to the US.They landed around the first of October after an eleven week voyage.Her mother and a sister died within a week or two due to the hardships of the trip.Eliz. would have been just 12 years old when they left.I do not know why or with whom she was left.However, her mother's maiden name was Ann Wilson.She may have been left with the Wilson family as she later married a Wilson.I do not know where Ann Wilson Jenks is buried, it had to be close to the port of entry, but I do not know which one.I can not thank you enough for the information that you have provided.It has been lost to the family in the US since the 1880's.
