Mary Knight's information about Eugene Staley Jenkins is correct. He died 16 May 1973 in Akron, OH. His wife, Rose, died 24 May 1978, also in Akron. They had one child, Ruth Helen Jenkins, born 23 July 1923. She married Claude Luther Morgan McCoy, who was born 26 March 1919. They have no children. Eugene Staley Jenkins (Uncle Jack) was the uncle of my father, Eunice Alton Jenkins. Alton Jenkins Cincinnati, OH, USA

Hi Friends, I've gotten way, way behind in my emails from this list. I have just returned from a two week trip to the East Coast. Hope I can catch up soon. I'll respond in reverse order to those about which I may have info. I have the birth date of Canzady Boston to be 1859, according to the 1860 census. Alton Jenkins Cincinnati, OH, USA

I've seen "St. Clair" on one of the websites, too. I think that you're right about having to get a death certificate or something to know for sure. Thanks for the reply.

Rick: This is your cousin Peggy. I have Henry Jenkins Sr. pension record. According to this record he died of typhoid fever in Stevenson or Stephenson, Alabama on September 23 1863 and his widow Lucinda Gregory Jenkins died on 4 May 1864 in Macon County TN. If you want a copy of this record, please send me your home address and I will make one and send it to you. I am a descendant of William W. Jenkins and Mary Polly Goad Jenkins, William cousin of Henry Jenkins Sr. Peggy

Albert S. (Sidney?) Haley was born in Smith County on June 21, 1842. He was my great great grandfather. There have been subsequent uses of the name or variant (my grandfather, father, and brother). The first Albert S. Haley served in the Civil War with the 4th Tennessee Cavalry. I was always told that he was named after the Civil War general, Albert Sidney Johnston. However, I don't know how this could be. The general was born in February 1803 in Washington, Kentucky. So he would have been 39 when my great great grandfather was born. By 1842, Johnston had been Secretary of War for the Republic of Texas, although he resigned this post in 1840. I can't for the life of me figure out how he would have had sufficient notoriety in Smith County in 1842 to cause someone to name a child after him. I am open to any theories as to the origin of the name. Have any of you run across any Albert Sidney XXXX personages in your research? How about any Smith County relatives of Albert Sidney Johnston? On the other hand, I wonder if my grandfather was the first Albert Sidney Haley. I have yet to find proof that the "S" in my great grandfather's name stood for Sidney. He is listed as Albert S. Haley on his tombstone and everywhere else I've found. Can anyone confirm that this Albert S. Haley really was Albert Sidney Haley? I guess I really need a look at a birth/marriage/death certificate, if one of them exists. John Curry Haley

I have to correct the mistake I made in my email to Rick. According to Henry Jenkins, Sr. pension record he died 28 September 1863. Peggy

correction; I have Henry Jenkins Sr. pension record. According to this record he died of typhoid fever in Stevenson or Stephenson, Alabama on September 23 1863 and his widow Lucinda Gregory Jenkins died on 4 May 1864 in Macon County TN. Better check again :-) because I have the pension papers also. It's Sept. 28, 1863 and is even written in at least one place as twenty eighth day of September 1863. Mary Knight

----- Original Message ----- From: Mavrick54@aol.com Henry sr. was born before the 1830 census in Macon co. and died on April 13, 1868 in Stevenson, Alabama. He served in co.D 9th Ky. inf. civil war. According to Henry Jenkins pension papers records his death in several papers as died Sept. 28th,1863 at Stephenson (sic) Ala of Typhoid Fever. Stevenson Ala. is spelled several different ways. This death date is repeated several times on different documents within this file. I was thinking there was another date in her somewhere but haven't found it yet. Will let you know if I do.
