William Jenkins is the son of John F Jenkins and Sarah Lou Wheeler (Whelis?) of Webster Co Ga. John F is the son of John and Elizabeth Jenkins of Jones Co Ga.
From Alabama Tap Roots, Vol 29 No 1 July 1991, John Jenkins Family from Stewart and Jones Co Ga by Robert Horn.
"Elizabeth B. Jenkins, widow of John Jenkins Esq. of Jones County, Georgia filed for administration of his estate in Stewart Co, Ga, September 1834. According to the Georgia Journal and Messenger, Macon John had died in Jones County, May 24, 1928.
In Stewart County May 1835 Elizabeth was named guardian of orphans of John Jenkins: listed were NANCY, CLARK, JOHN, ELIZABETH and MARION. Not under guardianship was the eldest son, HENRY M. JENKINS. With his mother as executrix, on record in Stewart County, Henry was listed on bond with HENRY RILEY, THOMAS E. and DAVID ROGERS, JAMES and E.C. BEARD.
Nancy Jenkins married Thomas Dyas 10 November 1836. More is not known at this time.
Elizabeth Jenkins married Beverly Justice, 38 and they are enumerated in 1850 census of Early County, Ga. with their 7 children. They are next door to Clark Jenkins and his wife Nancy J. (Justice?). In the household were members of a Justice family, proably that of his wife.
Clark Jenkins, age 34, with his wife and 6 children were enumerated in 1850, Early County, GA. In the household were members of a Justice family, proably that of his wife.
John F Jenkins, age 32, is enumerated in the 1850 census of Stewart County, Georgia. He maried Sarah L. Wheeler October 1, 1844. They have three children at this time.
Marion Jenkins, age 22, is a single man, 1850 census for Stewart County, Georgia operates a grocery. From Stewart County, Georgia marriage records: Horace M. (Marion?) Jenkins married Eugenia L Prather November 1, 1854.
Please Note: The above statements represent conclusions made from public records. Because they reflect duplicate names, dates descripancies and lack of personal family records, one should be warned of possible errors. RCH"
I descend from Henry M Jenkins and his wife Harriet Bush. I would like any information anyone can share with me on this family.
