Hello All, I have spent most of my time reading messages and seeing little mentioned about my Jenkins family. I will post what I have below in the hopes that someone can help me identify the ancestors of my William Jenkins. [I believe that he may be descended from the Jenkins of Nantucket Island, as there was a large group that migrated from there to Hudson, Columbia Co., NY.] I believe that he migrated from NY to IN about 1835 and migrated to MI by 1845. I hope some of you with Indiana Jenkins families can help! Judith "And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span?
