Researching Valentine Jenkins b. 1730, wife Mercy, "possible" father of Margaret Jenkins of the Oblong M. M. Dutchess Co NY, Margaret was disowned in 1788/89 for her marriage to Samuel West a non-Quaker. She was reinstated in 1798 by the Danby M. M. while she was living in Peru, NY. Samuel West and Valentine, Jr show up in St. Albans Chrittenden Co VT in 1790. By 1792 Samuel is in Peru, NY. Valentine Jr appears to have stayed in Middle Hero VT. I am looking for Valentine Sr's daughters. Possibly another dau. m. William Barber West named Abigail. Wm. and Samuel appear to be connected as they buy land next to each other in Peru NY in 1792, Wm's land later sold to David Buck. Wm. still visits Samuel or maybe David for Wm's 2 sons meet and marry David's 2 daughters. Again they might be related. Living next door to George B. West, son of Wm. B. West is Simeon Jenkins and his son Jedediah, Simeon is nephew of Valentine Jenkins. William has a son named John V. West (does the V. stand for Valentine or Voorhees?...Voorhees being the maiden name of Simeon's grandmother). Valentine does have a dau. named Susanna who m. Richard Robotham I have Valentine's lineage back but need to "Prove" Margaret is his dau. Fran West Rockford, MI
