    3. Lynn, Can you find a probate/will for John Jenkins Sr ca 1836/7 Hardin Co?? Am looking for a John Jenkins,Sr who died 1836. An 1837 Guardianship record for son Benedict, dau Eleanor (Ellin) & Elisha Jenkins- names son John Jr guardian with Austin/Lewis Jenkins surety. Benedict (b 1817/18) married Elizabeth Medcalf(b 1818) 1839 Hardin Co, both died in LaRue Co. The mg record says John (Jehu?) Jenkins, man's guardian; witnesses: Joseph Medcalf (Elizabeth's father) and Vincent Medcalf(Joseph son & he married Mary Ann (?) Jenkins also d/o John). Several more Medcalfs married Jenkins children too. Eleanor/Ellin Jenkins married Silas Jefferson Medcalf/Metcalf(e) 1839 Hardin Co. Silas J. also s/o Joseph Medcalf (wife Nancy Ann Figg). Ellen was wife #1, Margaret J. Gollaher, wife #2 & Mary E. Cundiff, wife #3. Silas had 21 children by his 3 wives. "Six Generations of Larues" says "Hannah Buzan married John Jenkins (d 1836) Jan 1805. Numerous descendants." Do not name any. Hannah Buzan, d/o William Buzan & Phebe Larue (d/o Jacob & Mary Frost LaRue). Mary J. Jones' mgs says Jehu Jenkins married Hannah Buzan. I have a copy of the marriage record. In one place it looks like John & in another place like Jehu. AS a result: Jenkins Family researchers has him named John Jehu or Jehu John. Two seperate men has been put together. Both John & Jehu were sons of Philip & Jane Allison Jenkins (re: Philip Jenkins' will 1818 Hardin Co). Would love so much IF you could find something on John Jenkins, Sr who died 1836. Thank you, Mary
