Here is some information I would like to share with the Jenkins out
there:

I found out some interesting information awhile ago. There were
two different groups of Jenkins that came into the Ulster County, New
York area about the same time and they are not related, so they say.
One group came from New England and they were Quakers. The other
came from New Jersey and they were Dutch Reformed (my Jenkins line
I have been told). William Jenkins (my line) brother, James founder
of
Jenkinstown (now New Platz), Ulster County, New York owned and
operated
a sawmill there. He married Rachel LeFevre there in 1818. I thought
that
was some interesting news.
Another bit of information. The Ulster County, New York Jenkins
began a
mass migration from there to Michigan in the early 1800's. Several
families,
as they passed through Ohio, decided to settle in Erie County, Ohio.
That is
where my Ohio Jenkins line begins.
