I am looking for the parents of my gggrandfather, William J Jenkins, Feb 10, 1812 - Mar 15, 1877 (born in TN, died in Jacksonville, Calhoun Co., AL) I found the following census information that fits the age of my William, but need to know if anyone knows anything about the following. I will list the census info, then my specific questions and comments John Jenkins, 1830, Sevier Co., TN: 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 40-50; 1 male slave 24-36, 3 female slaves 10-24, 1 female slave 36-55. John Jenkins, 1840, Sevier Co., TN: 2 males 20-30, 2 males 50-60, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 50-60 William Jenkins, 1840, Sevier Co., TN: 1 male 20-30, 1 female 0-5, 1 female 30-40 Mary Jenkins, 1850, Sevier Co., TN: 59 born in SC First of all, I do not think the above William is the son of the above John because John had two males in the household in 1830 and two in 1840 in which the ages correspond. I added this William because he would fit the age of my gggrandfather, also. Does anyone know about the William? My William J was in Coweta Co., GA in 1850 and married Elizabeth ? She was born in 1826, so if this is the same William, this was a 1st wife. Is this Mary the wife of John? I do not find a John Jenkins in the 1850 census but this Mary would fit the age of the female in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. What are the names of the other persons in the 1830 and 1840 censuses? Any information about the above Jenkins' would be appreciated. This is my 1st attempt at trying to find my ggggrandparents and want to eliminate them one by one as I find any that might be mine. I haven't searched other counties yet. Thank you in advance for all your help. Keitha Jenkins Kirk Weaver, AL

Keitha, Although I've not researched the Jenkins line there are many early records (1830's) for Jenkins in Cocke Co., TN as well. Some lived and married into various lines in the Cosby area, which is next to Jones Cove in Sevier Co., TN. Are you sure your Jenkins are from Sevier?

In Wayne Shaw's transcription of the 1850 Sevier Census (page 118) , he lists Andrew Bird 44 and Anna [Fox] Bird. Who is Anna [Fox] Bird. I note that the youngest member of the household, James Bird, age 4, later married Rebecca Fox, d/o John Fox and gd/o Mark Fox. Dick Fox

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 1200 prisoners on record from the state of Tennessee and almost 800 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Tennessee was one of the states that was torn apart and was truley brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once.
