I currently am focusing my research on my g-g-g-g-g grandfather, William Jenkins. I have learned that he served in the North Carolina Continental Line from 1777 to 1779/80; he was a private under Col. Edward Buncombe in the 5th Regiment of Blount's Company. In 1788 he was awarded a Land Warrant for some 274 acres in what is now Jackson County, TN. In 1789 and in 1795 his son Roderick Jenkins sold some land in Rowan County, and in 1802 Roderick sold some land in Tennessee. Therefore, I believe that William and Roderick's families moved from Rowan County, NC to Jackson County, TN between 1795 and 1802. William died in TN in 1807. I am trying to determine William's birth date and where he came from. Any additional information of any sort re either William, his wife (whose name was probably Nancy Ann _______), Roderick, Roderick's wives (married twice I believe), or any of Roderick's siblings would be helpful.
