There son James William Jenkins married Lucy Perkins. They had son Robert who had son John Spurgeon Jenkins 1891 but is says James William and Lucy moved to Colorado after their son Robert was born. So I guess this John Spurgeon would have born in Colorado? I think the John Jenkins and Martha Tuggle comes from Wilson Jenkins line? It is strange that both lines seemed to use some of the same names though. I never have figure out how Wilson Jenkins was related to our Old William Jenkins have you? Mary

I thank you are right Mary her name was Ollie. My grandfather Patterson died when my father was about 1 year old after witch my grand mother married Ginie Smalling who was a brother of Mr. Billy Smalling. I remember going to their house when I was little. The one thing I remember about "Miss Ollie" was that she had no left hand. She having been born that way. H.
