It was great to see your question about Harrison and Delilah Jenkins; they are my direct ancestors. Although I don't have much information about them, this is what I know: I am a descendent of Harrison and Delilah Jenkins. You mentioned in your previous e-mail that they had a son Elijah. Elijah was my great-grandfather. He married Charlotte (or Lotta) Everhart and lived just outside Leesburg, VA. When Elijah died in 1908 (after their children had grown and moved out) Charlotte sold their home and moved to Chesterbrook/McLean, VA, to live with/near her daughter, my grandmother, Inez Jenkins Stalcup. Elijah and Charlotte are buried in Union Cemetary in Leesburg, VA, in a plot with other Everhart relatives. [I have been to their gravesite, and I also was able to visit their home in Leesburg that they sold in 1908 before it was torn down last summer!] I do not have much information about Harrison and Delilah. Most of my information is second-handed, including quite a bit of info from the book you mentioned (although I do not have the latest version of it; I will have to contact the author and get an update on what I have). I did some research at the Loudoun courthouse and found the records mentioned, and the will of Harrison's father, another Elijah Jenkins. Harrison and Delilah are mentioned a few places. Although I have not seen an original marriage record, I have seen an on-line compilation of Washington DC marriage records that includes a marriage of Harrison and Delilah at about the right time. What I did not know was anything about Harrison's death. I presumed that he outlived Delilah, because in a book of marriages in the Loudoun Courthouse, the listing for Elijah Jenkins and Charlotte Everhart listed only Elijah's father Harrison, with a blank in the space for his mother. [I am currently at the office and my detailed records are at home, so I am speaking from memory right now.] I would love to get as much information as I can about Harrison and Delilah and anything else you have on this family. If you are interested in more information I have, such as more about Harrison's parents and ancestors, please let me know. Thanks!
