Sisters-Mary and Sarah Jenkins
I am searching for my grandmother's parents.She is Cora Viola Powell.She and her sister, Nettie, were married in a double ceremony in Perry County, Ohio on Dec. 20, 1900.Cora gives her mother's name as Sarah Jenkins and Nettie gives her mother's name as Mary Jenkins.Both give William H. Powell as their father.The families were also in Muckingum County, Ohio.Nettie was born there.Cora was born in Perry County, according to their marriage licenses.I can't find a birth record for Cora.I haven't searched for one for Nettie yet.Most of this info is very new to me.I have searched censuses and have not been able to connect Cora or Nettie with any Jenkins families in either Muskingum or Perry Counties.The mystery is, of course, the different names given for the mother(S).I found a marriage license for a William Powell and Mary C. Jenkins in Muskingum Co., but nothing for him and Sarah.I am guessing that Mary might have died sometime after the birth of Nettie (abt. 1879) and William married a sister or cousin who would be the mother of Cora born in 1884.Does anyone know anything about the Jenkins family of Muskingum County, Ohio?I'm sorry this is so long but it is complicated.Help, please.
