Martha Bear married Parson Jenkins in Hawkins Co Tn 1878. Parson Jenkins b 1836 Hawkins Co Ky.Some have said that Martha Bear had been married earlier to a Stewart. She had two children Mary F b 1876 , Therrissa b 1878 . The children did not have last name noted. Parson was listed Black as those Jenkins were. I am also searching for the Indian -Jenkins connection. Wm Jenkins b 1795 Va m Judia Fitch b 1790 Va were Parson's parents. I hope this rings bell with someone. Thanks, Coral Babb
