Hi, I have just discovered my gggrandparents, William J. and Elizabeth (maybe Barclay) Jenkins. They had a total of 14 children. According to the 1900 Al Calhoun Co. census, only 7 were living. I have found most of them, but there is a gap in some. Below is what I have and what I need. If you have any information on any of these, please let me know. Thanks. William J. Jenkins Feb 10, 1812 - Mar 15, 1877 Born in TN, died in Calhoun Co., AL. Buried at Walnut Spring Cemetery, Jacksonville. Elizabeth Jenkins, wife, was living in 1900 in Jacksonville, and was 73. Born in GA, father in SC and mother in GA. Need to know parents and when died and where buried. Children: Born in Georgia, possibly Coweta Co. 1. William W. Jenkins, born abt. 1842. Died May 20, 1862 in Ashland, VA in a hospital. Need to know where buried. 2. Margaret born about 1844. Married White R. Marable April 2, 1865 in Calhoun Co. AL. I find her on the 1870 and 1880 census in Calhoun Co., AL with 2 children: Adolphus, Louisa, and Thomas. Her husband is not with her. I need to find out about her husband and when she died and where she is buried. 3. Malinda born about 1846. Married Alfred Davis June 20, 1874 in Calhoun Co., AL. She may have died before 1897. In the Alabama Heritage book there is an article about Alfred Davis that mentions he was married before. The person doesn't know who the first wife was. Alfred and Malinda were living in Cherokee Co in 1880. Had one daughter, Tempy. 4. Sarah born about 1849. The last time I have her in on the 1880 census living with her mother. I find no marriage record. Nor can I find a burial site. Need anything on her. 5. George born about 1853. Same as Sarah. 6. Mary Ann C. born Jan 4, 1856. Married Adolphus Monroe Evans Jan 29, 1878 in Calhoun Co., AL. I need to know her correct death date. They are both buried at Highland Cemetery in Piedmont, AL. Her tombstone has March 1925. However, she filed for a widows pension and the dates range from March 1930 to May 1930. My uncle was born in 1926 and he remembers Aunt Mary Ann coming to visit his grandfather, Levi, Mary's brother. Mary and Adolphus had no children. 7. Levi is my ggrandfather. Born May 2, 1855. Died Feb 17, 1941 Hokes Bluff, Etowah Co., AL 8. Andrew Jack born about 1857 in GA. Married Annie Emmaline Young. She was a widow in 1900 and she is buried at Youngs Chapel Cemetery in Hokes Bluff, Etowah Co., AL. Need to know when he died and where he is buried. Rest are born in AL 9. Hannah M. born about 1857. Married Thomas A. Hill Sept 6, 1877 in Calhoun Co., AL. Was living in Calhoun Co., in 1880 with husband and son John. Can't find anymore on them. 10. James J born Nov 11, 1860 died Feb 23, 1921. Buried at Walnut Spring Cemetery, Jacksonville, AL. Married Alice Badgett Dec 25, 1887. She was born Jul 2, 1865 and died Jul 14, 1926. Buried same place. They had at least 5 girls. I can't find them in 1910, but James and Alice are still living in Jacksonville in 1920 (I believe they are still there, just not in the index.) In 1920, Mollie and Willie, two of their daughters, are still unmarried (Mollie never married (b. Jul 29, 1890 d. Feb 12, 1947. Buried at Edgemont Cemetery, Anniston, AL). Willie is still alive in 1930, as Mary Ann Evans states she is living with her niece, Willie, when she applies for the pension. 11. Susan born about 1864. Was living with her sister Malinda in 1880. Can't find anymore about her. 12. Emma born April 14, 1864. Died Jul 13, 1920. Married William S. Stephens. Buried at Walnut Spring Cemetery in Jacksonville, AL. Was living in Calhoun Co. in 1900. Can't find her family after that. She has a son, I am assuming, buried at the same cemetery, William Ed, born Feb 4, 1907 died Oct 21, 1918. Need help finding when her husband died and where she was in after 1900. In 1900 they have one daughter, Linda, born Nov 1889. 13. Millie (Mattie or Mittie) born about 1869. Living with her mother in 1880 and 1900. Can't find her after that. She had a child out of wedlock, Mary B. The 1900 census states she has one child still living. Mary B. is living with Elizabeth and she states she is her granddaughter. Mary B. was born Jan 1887. 14. Unknown - This child was probably born and died between census. Now, the reason I think some of them moved to Texas. In Mary Ann's widow application, she states that she lived in Lamar Co., TX and moved back to AL in 1903. I think the ones I can't find may have went to Texas. Some returning, others not. The library here has the index for Texas for 1900, but it is unreadable. We don't have it for 1910 and 1920. I do have additional information on Levi if you would like it. If you have any answers or leads to the whereabouts of my missing family, please let me know. Another thought: One of Levi's daughter's and her husband move to Texas after 1900. She is buried in Grayson County and her husband in Henderson Co. Both counties not far from Lamar. I am thinking they moved there because family was already there. Thank you very much. Keitha Jenkins Kirk <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/kkirk6/genealogy.html">genealogy</A>
