Earnest (re: your message below)
To my knowledge, most of the "Southern Jenkins" can only be documented
with wills and land records to a "certain point" because our courthouses
and records were burned, at which point we have to rely on "logic" to
connect or reconstruct our family lines. I hope this minor point, from
a Virginia Southerner, enlightens
you a bit.
Hope this helps, Susan in Tidewater Virginia
