Joni Jackson - What does the "B" stand for in John B. Jenkins name? My g-gf, Russell Renneau Jenkins, wrote to his cousin in Mississippi with the heading, "Dear Cousin J.B.". Do you have a relative in Greenwood, Mississippi named Eleanor Shuler? Eleanor and I think we are related but can't connect with our g-g-gf's. I do not know for sure my gggf's first name, we think it was James. My g-g-gm's name was Martha. We do not know her maden name. We know she was born in S.C. Our first record of Martha is the 1850 census listing Martha, Russell Renneau, and I.B. in the Forsyth County Georgia census. No mention of her husband. I.B. is not listed in the 1860 or 1870 census of Chattooga County, Ga. wher Russell Renneau grew up and married Mary ann Hix in 1870. Let me hear from you.
