I know for certain that James was killed by a falling tree in Feb. of 1840. They were settlers in Jefferson Twp., and one of the families that founded Horeb Chapel. Written family history tells me that they are buried at Horeb. When I visited the cemetery a few years back, I could not find their graves. They did not seem to be next to the rest of the family, though there is an older set of tombstones I plan to do an etching of when I return someday. > > I do not know when Jane died. I have found her (using her maiden name!!) in the 1870 and 1880 census. I believe this is her because she is living either next door to or with her sons, David and Edward Jenkins. I cannot imagine why she reverted to the maiden name, though. Any thoughts??? > > Could sks look in the cemetery book for Horeb and see what you might see? If they are not listed, does anyone have another idea? I have found a James and Jane Jenkins buried at Moriah, but instinct tells me that they are possibly not my gr-gr-gr-grandparents. > > Thanks, a lot. > Kathi Jenkins Elliott > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > >
