James Crockett (J.C.) (Jim) Jenkins was born in Colorado, County, Texas in the community of Lone Oak. He was the son of a Civil War Veteran Vance Frizpatrick and wife Julia Anna Henderson Jenkins. His parents moved to Waller County in 1886. In 1889 his father sold their place in Colorado County. They moved here by the use of wagons. They settled in the Harvester community of Waller County. Jim began his employment outside his father's farm with the Missouri Kansas and Texas railroad. Later he helped build fences on the railroad right-of-way around Brookshire, Texas. Jim worked for John Binford, (a rancher and farmer) on his ranch in Waller County. Jim married Willie Maud Grice on January 29, 1895. They had four children. They were Raymond, Mittie Aroma, Joyce and LaZena. He had a half brother Tom P. Moore who was born in her first marriage of mother Julia Anna Henderson Moore. Willie and Minnie Estella who married Lem C. Ferguson. Mr. Jenkins lost his home and other out buildings on his farm south of Waller in the 1900 Hurricane. This Hurricane (which was a killer storm) had hit Galveston.
At the young age of twenty years he was elected constable of the Waller Precinct and served many years. He had a brief encounter with young man who was soon to become a noted outlaw, Clyde Barrow. He often worked with The Texas rangers and other local law enforcement officer. Jim Jenkins bought a hardware store from Charlie Umland. Then he bought another. He built a new house in Waller and had it wired for electricity and he put in pipes for natural gas before gas or electricity was in town. Some say he had the first house in Waller to have electric light.
I knew Mr. Jim Jenkins. He was a quiet man and spoke with authority when he said anything. I often wish I could have known him better. He loved horse and he took good care of the ones he kept at his home. I don't suppose I spoke a dozen words to him in the time I knew him.
Jim Jenkins lived to be 84 years and 3 months and 1 day old.
