    1. [LABIENVI-L] Jenkins + Poland
    2. I'd like to hear from anyone with information on Green Freeman JENKINS and/or Diana Jane POLAND. The info I have is rather sketchy, but is listed below. Family legend suggests that Green Freeman Jenkins was not of the most sterling character, and the family later settled in Texas because they were chased out of Louisiana!
