PLEASE HELP!!! CROOKER-JENKINS in Lincoln/Sagadahoc Co.
Hello and thank you to all reading this plea........
1850 Census Bath ME…August[All same household]
CHATMAN, James 30 Mariner…CHATMAN, Delia M 24…JENKINS, William A., 33 Mason, MA…JENKINS, Amanda J., 25 ME…JENKINS, Mary A., 3 MA…JENKINS, Emily A., 1 [My ancestor] ME…DUNTON, Lydia F., 6 ME
**Delia M [Crooker] Chatman dau of Capt Samuel D and Christina [Largent] Crooker
**Amanda J. [Crooker] Denton Jenkins Dau of ??
**Lydia F. Denton marries in MA and claims Samuel and Amanda [Crooker] her parents.
**Emily A. [Jenkins] Bailey b Dec 1848 claims her mother born Bath, ME
**All the CROOKER Maine information I could locate online had NO Amanda’s however there are several Julia A / Julia Amanda Crooker’s in the same line as Delia, b:1823-6**
1850 Census Cambridge MA…Sept[All same household]
DENTON, Jonathan, 60 MA Carpenter 10,000…DENTON, Sally, 50 CT…DENTON, William H, 28, MA…DENTON, Caroline, 26, MA…WOODWARD, I/J T V, 30 MA…WOODWARD, Harriet, 24, MA
TIRRELL, William S., 24 CT[Carpenter]…DENTON, Lydia F. 6 MA…DENTON, Samuel C., 3 MA….
I believe Lydia made both the Maine and Mass census due to the dates.In Maine she is with mom and step-dad and in Mass with paternal grandfather.As the list of children born to Jonathan and Sarah/Sally [Farren] Denton in Randolph/Weymouth MA is: William 1816, Samuel C. 1818, Sarah Ann 1820, William Henry 1822, Caroline 1824, Harriet 1826, Delia Ashmead 1827….
Samuel C. Denton, age 3 is the son of William Henry and his Unknown first wife.Thinking perhaps named after his dead brother???** Denton is sometimes Dunton**
1860 Cambridge Census
JENKINS, W A.,40 MA Provision Dealer [died 1865 MA]….JENKINS, Amanda J., 33 ME…JENKINS, Emily A., 11 ME…JENKINS, Abby W., 8 ME…JENKINS, Frank A., 2 ME…HUTCHINSON, M., 27
Feb 10, 1861 Martha A Hutchinson marries Isaiah Crooker, age 25 born Bath ME son of Isaac and Judith [Noble] Crooker. {{Death: Judith [Noble] Crooker widow of Isaac, b: Bethel ME}}Another CROOKER Connection with Amanda….
My primary focus is to locate more on Amanda J CROOKER b: 1825ish Bath ME
1) Marriage between Amanda J Crooker and Samuel C. Denton1841-43.[based on their dau., Lydia F. being 6 in 1850]
2) Birth of Lydia F. Denton, app 1843/4 Bath ME
3) Death of Samuel C Denton, app 1844-46
4) Marriage between Amanda J. [Crooker] Denton and William A. Jenkins 1844-46May have been in MA [have not found] as their first child Mary A. claims birth in MA [age 3, 1850 census]
5) Birth of Jenkins children in Bath ME…
a) Emily A Jenkins,Dec. ____ 1848, Bath ME
b) Abbie W Jenkins, 1850/51…Death Apr 27, 1904 [53y7m4d] MA, buried in Bath ME. Claimed Resident of Bowdoin Centre, died at sisters in Boston.Is not on Aug 19th 1850 Census. Perhaps Abbie’s birth is why Lydia was sent to grandpas.
c) Franklin A. Jenkins, 1858….1860 age is 2, married June 1878 age 20
6) Death of Mary A Jenkins, born 1846/7, age 3 on 1850 Bath census, not on 1860 Census [Checked 1849-1861 deaths for a Mary Jenkins in MA…None Fit]
I would be ever so greatful if I could resolve any of these questions.
Thank you !!
