This is very interesting since John W. Junkins married Elizabeth Anderson (25 Apr 1816). I am researching the Junkins family. Benjamin Junkins was the s/o William and Margaret Stafford Junkins from Ireland. Benjamin was born in Ireland ca 1787. He married Elizabeth Mary Jane (Unknown) and their first child was Mary Elizabeth JaneJunkins. She married James Harvey in Va. ( Benjamin married a second time to Jane Casteel.) They had no children. They went to Iowa in 1855 a year after Elizabeth's sister Ruth Junkins and her husband Hezekiah Gazaway Harvey had gone to Iowa. I have a little more info if interested.
