Hello Robert.
I saw this message sometime ago, was going to answer, but
got busy and forgot. Was back in here this evening and
come across your entry again.
It appears you were talking to a Sally Spivey of Chickasha,
Oklahoma. Who is a cousin I came across on the net last year. When my wife and I went to Fort Sill in Oklahoma last
Christmas to visit our daughter whose husband is in the
U.S. Army and stationed at Fort Sill we had the pleasure of
meeting Sally and another cousin we got aquainted with on the net also. Never knew of them before, had a good family visit.
-------------------------------------------------------
Now as we both have the same last name, and there are not to many Jeakins in the entire world, we must some how be related. Close, far, shirt tail relatives? Most of the
names Jeakins are in England and in the States most are in Illinois. The rest scattered all over the U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------
I will put in here a few of my ancestors to show where
they came from, perhaps they might be in your family?
I have had contact with a lady in London who gave me a tip
to look in Battle for this information.
--------------------------------------------------------
I live in Fallon, Churchill County, Nevada. Am married
for 43 years to Mary Ann 'Meacham" Jeakins. We have one
daughter Jeanine Daphyne 'Jeakins" Crown. Her husband is
TSGT: Thomas Crown of the U.S. Army Artillery. They
have three sons. Anthony 11, Donald 9 and Robert 6.
