My Jenkins line is pretty thin at this point but it begins with William M. Jenkins, b. Dec. 1829 in Wheatley Co, Tn., the son of Joel Jenkins and Minerva Victoria Etichison. He married Sarah Catherine Mallicoat presumably in Missouri abt 1858. In 1870 he is found in Grayson Co, Texas with a 2nd wife, Nancy Phipps with whom he had several more children. He died in Dec 1879 and is buried in the Barron Cemetery in Cooke county, Tx. I have some info on his siblings and what appears to be his line back to William Jenkins and Elizabeth Skelderman in VA in the early 18th century.
1. William M. Jenkins and Sarah Catherine Mallicoat
2. Manus Jenkins, b. 1859 in Missouri
2. Alice Jenkins
2. Helen Jenkins
2. Mary Jenkins
2. John L. Jenkins, b. 1867. Called "Lee", he moved to Indian Territory where he married Mary May Hazel in 1889 in a Chickasaw Ceremony. Later, they were also married in a Civil ceremony in Gainsville, Tx. Children:
3. John Lenoard Jenkins, b. 1891
4. Edward E. Jenkins, b. 1925
3. Seth Thomas Jenkins, b. 1893
4. Seth Jenkins, b. 1914 (My Father)
3. James Claude Jenkins, b. 1895
4. Anita Jenkins
3. William Lee Jenkins, b. 1899, d. 1916
3. Clarence Jenkins, b. 1901 (was called Robert or R. C. later in life), d. in the 1970's
Seth and Clarence are buried at Maud, Ok. Leonard, Claude, and William are buried in Lindsay, Ok. If anyone can connect to this line, I would appreciate hearing from you

***********************************************************

William Manley married Nancy R. Phipps on Sept. 15, 1870, he was a widower with 5 children by his first wife who had died 3 years earlier. This marriage took place in Grayson County, TX and the family is shown in the 1870 census taken on the same date as the marriage.

William Manley Jenkins,(FAG#42141365) a stock raiser and Confederate veteran, died Dec. 11, 1878. By then he and Nancy were parents to 4 additional children: 2 sons (who
died within 2 years after their father's death) and 2 daughters who survived
both parents.

Step back in time as you read is. Remember this was a time of farming communities, soil tilled by horse or mule and a walking plow. Hogs killed in cold weather provided meat through the winter months. There were no cars, no telephones, no electricity, no indoor plumbing. These were a hardy stock of people, that we call our ancestors, and I'm glad they were. They help to make us strong today. They built schools for education of their children; churches for worship together as a family. They built homes, raised their children, and, died.


When you stop to read a tombstone in the cemetery, pause to remember those that have gone before and what they endured. Let us keep alive their legacy. May we also build strong schools and faithful churches. And when it comes our time to be laid to rest in this old cemetery, may those that gather, resolve to carry on the tradition established by these "Old'Timers"....written by Cass W Reasor.
