Was Job Jenkins Really Shot Out West IN a Mining Operation Delivering the Payroll

JOB JENKINS b-Oct 1842 (aka Joseph Jenkins)married HANNAH MINTON JENKINS b-Sept 1859 in Wales in 1877. They lost two sons LEE & JOHN in a measle epidemic in Mid Glamorgan, Glamorgan, Wales, U.K. before immigrating to the USA.

Hannah was pregnant with a 3rd son on the trip over. That summer, President Garfield's funeral train came through Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When she had a son, on 12 Feb 1882, she wanted to honor the late President, so she named him EDWARD GARFIELD JENKINS. They lived in Allegheny/Alleghney City (now called The North side of Pittsburgh). They had two more sons, WM. LEE JENKINS & JOHN JENKINS. John died at a young age.

Besides ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA, the family also lived in IRONDALE, OHIO & FOLLANSBEE, WEST VIRGINIA.

The family legend is that JOB went out west to a mining adventure and was killed bringing the payroll to the mine.
