I have a nice old photo of this family. It lists on the back the names and exact birthdates of each child, but it doesn't give the names of the parents or their dates of birth or where they were born. I wondered what their names were. I also have a large photo of the parents without their names. I am sure glad I stumbled on this site. I am the granddaughter of Floyd Jenkins, one of the sons who married Hattie Pearl Homan on 3-11-1903 in Ainsworth. They had two children, Goldie Belle Jenkins Marcoe and Lloyd Lewis Jenkins (my father) both born in Ainsworth. The family moved to Skagit County, Washington about 1914 or 1915. Several of the other brothers and sisters moved there also. I lived in Anacortes, WA until I was 10. I met a few sisters and brothers of my grandfather. My Aunt Goldie used to tell me she had cousins in Wisconsin and Nebraska that she corresponded with and I know she went to Wisconsin many times. I wish I would have questioned her about them. This is all I know about the Jenkins family so far. I have just started to do a family genealogy search and if any of you kinfolk has any information you would share, I would appreciate hearing from from you.

thank you for the info.this is my gg grandparents again thanks.

Toney,

Benjamin P. Jenkins is your gg grandfather? He is my g grandfather. Which son are you directly related to? I think I may have found Benjamin's parents listed in a NY Census. The age would be close.
Do you have any other info regarding this family?

Diane

Hi Jenkins family..My husband is the great-great grandson of Benjamin and Nora Jenkins, through their daughter, Daisy. We are located in western Washington state. Hope to hear from one and all...

Hello Jenkins descendants..My husband is the great-great grandson of Benjamin and Nora Jenkins, through their daughter, Daisy. I have done some limited research on the family, but I don't have much. Hope to hear from you...

Hi,

I am a great granddaughter of Benjamin and Nora Jenkins through their son Floyd. I live in Louisiana, but was born in Seattle and lived in Anacortes for the first 10 years of my life. Thanks to others, I have learned Benjamin Jenkins' parents were Benjamin and Keziah Jenkins of New York. Can anyone go back any further? I am looking for any other "kin folks". As a child living in Anacortes, my fathers' sister used to take me "East of the Mountians" to see her aunts, uncles and cousins, but don't remember exactly where in Washington

Hello all..in case you haven't gotten any further back than Benjamin Jenkin's mom Keziah (maiden name Judson), I think I just found something. In the 1850 census, there is a Keziah "Judgson" (age 20)listed with her parents, Joshua and Deborah (55 and 51), and siblings Orrin 29, Haywood 23, Norman 17, Caroline 16, Jane 12, and Sarah 9. The census was taken in Cayuga County, New York...In the 1878 History of Carroll County, Illinois, it mentions that James Green was married to a Keziah Judson Jenkins, born in Cayuga County in 1830. Judson/Judgson..Census taker misspelling?
