Hi all! I want to warn everyone that the lineage I am posting is primarily without documentation. Reader beware! I have been unable to document particularly the relationship between Benjamin JENKINS (older one) and Russell JENKINS. In fact some of the information I have refutes this as a father-son relationship. Can anyone help? 1 Samuel Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Spouse: Jane Children: Thomas (1750-1830) 1.1 Thomas Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Birth: 1750, Shenandoah County, VA Death: 1830, Champaign County, OH Spouse: Nellie Sisk (Fisk) Birth: 1750 Death: 1820, Champaign County, OH Marriage: 1772, Shenandoah County, VA Children: Russell (1797-1874) 1.1.1 Russell Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Birth: 1797, Shenandoah County, VA Death: 13 May 1874, Champaign County, OH Spouse: Mary Kite Death: Champaign County, OH Marriage: 27 Jun 1816 Children: Benjamin (-1851) 1.1.1.1 Benjamin Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Birth: Shenandoah County, VA Death: 15 Sep 1851 Spouse: Elizabeth Benhold Marriage: 13 Mar 1816, Shenandoah County, VA Children: Benjamin (1828-1897) Julie Ann Polly Jane Mary Emanuel Ambrose 1.1.1.1.1 Benjamin Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Birth: 1828, Shenandoah County, VA Death: 1897, Shelby County, OH Spouse: Catherine Bodey Father: Lewis Bodey Mother: Margaret Frisinger Marriage: 14 Dec 1848, Champaign County, OH Children: Simon Peter (1855-1931) 1.1.1.1.1.1 Simon Peter Jenkins ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Birth: Apr 1855, Shelby County, OH Death: 30 Sep 1931, Shelby County, OH Burial: 1 Oct 1931, Shelby County, OH Spouse: Therza Ellen Wirick Birth: 28 Jan 1861, Palestine, Shelby County, OH Death: 22 Feb 1921, Shelby County, OH Father: George Wirick Mother: Amanda Marriage: 4 Apr 1880 Children: Oliver Franklin (1882-1922) Thomas W.

Because of his death at an early age, my mother knew very little about the JENKINS family (at least that was good <g>). I have a little more on the collateral lines but for some reason my information seems to have a glitch (not grinch,well maybe) in it. No of course I hadn't backed it up! That would have been too easy! I'd be happy to share information and hear from cousins! Betsy McGee Rice [email protected]
