My Jenkins Brick Wall
I descend from John Jenkins who died in Nelson County,Virginia in 1829 . He was born 1783 but it's not known where . He was married to Patsy Height and then later to Hannah Embly with whom he had children .
His son Benjamin H Jenkins is my 3rd great-grandfather , Benjamin married Nancy Jane Cash in Botetourt County,Va . Their son Robert E Jenkins is my 2nd great-grandfather born in Roanoke County,Va he married Elizabeth Bonham in Wythe County,Va . Their daughter Ida Jenkins (never married) was my great-grandmother and her son Charles Preston Jenkins was my grandfather . Charles married Susan Jane Walters and my father was their son Charles Andrew Jenkins who married Wilma Jane Lambert in Staunton,Va
I have no idea who John's parents were or if he was born in Va or not . His wife Hannah's father was Luke Embly and I do not know where he was born or who her mother was . John and Hannah lived in Massie's Mill area in Nelson County,Va
I will tell you what I found out: John Payne or Parker Jenkins was born 1782 died Oct 1, 1829. I am not sure where he is buried but my guess is that you will need to look at the last census he was in and start there. However I did find at Least I believe he was born in Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts in 1783 He is the son of Marshall Jenkins born 1744 and Elizabeth Mayhew born 1754. He married to a Polly Houghton and had one child. Gordon Jenkins born 1805 - died 1847.
His other children are Capt. Uriah Jenkins died Jan 13,1837. I really didn't have time to research this but I will when I go to the genealogy center. I can find out more things there. But I will get back to you. I saw some things that I am not sure that is pretaining to him but I will let you know forsure tomorrow night. But I have the information I need so I will let you know something tomorrow. smith41
