The JENKINS line I'm researching is from Glamorgan Co., Wales. This is the information I have so far: Thomas JENKINS - coalminer, b. abt 1843 in Neath, Glamorgan Miriam JENKINS (DAVIES)- wife, b. abt. 1846 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan John JENKINS - son and also a coalminer, b. abt 1861 in Neath, Glamorgan Elizabeth Ann JENKINS - daughter - b. January 27, 1870 in town of Trealaw, Glamorgan (this is also the town that is listed as the residence for the mother Miriam) Susannah JENKINS - daughter - b. abt 1876 in Hafod, Glamorgan. Elizabeth emigrated to the U.S. sometime between 1881 and 1891 and settled in the town of Plains in Luzerne Co., PA. She married Edward PARRY and had 4 children (Thomas, Cordelia, Sarah, and Miriam). Edward was killed in a mining accident and Elizabeth remarried Joseph THOMAS. They also had several children (Arthur, Jeanette, Joseph, Thomas, blodwin(these three died as infants), and Eleanor). I know that Elizabeth's brother JOhn also emigrated to the U.S. and settled in PA. After Elizabeth's first husband died, he came to Plains from another PA town and helped her obtain a property which consisted of a home and general store on Abbott Street. I don't know if the other JENKINS family members stayed in Wales or if they also emigrated. They don't show up in the 1891 Glamorgan census so I believe that they came also. Would love to find someone who is also researching this particular line.
