I have recently found out that my grgrandfather was named John Washington JENKINS. According to the soundex for 1880 he was born in INdiana and was born around 1850. He married Amanda (Emma) Denton sometime around 1870 probably in Jefferson Co. IN. John (who went by the name of Washington?) disappeared between 1880-1890. I don't know if he died or divorced Amanda. Amanda remarried in 1890. Does anyone have any Washington Jenkins in their line?? Thank you! Janis in Arizona
