While searching for Ella Rosa Jenkins of Charleston, SC, born in Louisiana in about 1840, I have just received a copy of a Judgement relating to the Succession to MARIE BEGNAUD JENKINS being the widow of Civil War Veteran EDWARD JENKINS of Lafayette Parish La. This is referenced No. 4732 of the 15th Judl. Dist. Court of LA. Parish of Lafayette, and dated 27 Dec 1930. Edward JENKINS served in F Company 26th Infantry (LA) regiment. enlisted 27 March 1862, paroled 4 July 1863 Vicksburg. This Judgement lists numerous Jenkins and others who appear to be the decedents or co-laterals of Edward JENKINS and Marie nee Begnaud JENKINS who were married on 12 Nov. 1868 in Lafayette Parish. Edward died at Lafayette on 7 July 1904 Marie JENKINS died 21 Sept 1930 at Lafayette. The judgement concerned two tracts of land in Lafayette. Parish, and Lists those with varying rights of Succession or inheritance. William JENKINS, Wilfred JENKINS, Gaston JENKINS all residents of Lafayette Parish La. Lydia JENKINS married to Couret Simmon and Aline JENKINS married Ovey Mouton of Calcasieu Parish, La. Jeanne JENKINS resident of Harris County Tx. Odon Gilbert, Camille Gilbert, Gussie Gilbert married to Mack Herbert residents of Lafayette Parish. C.P.Gilbert, a resident of Jackson County, Missouri, Ovey Gilbert of Calcasieu Parish La, Daisey Gilbert married to Alonzo Fruge, of Acadia Parish, La.

Does any one know if this is the same Edward JENKINS aged 14 who appears with Ella JENKINS aged 19 in the 1860 Census of New Braunfels, Texas? I hope this is of interest to someone out there?
