INTRODUCTION
Genealogical research is much like eating peanuts: the more you consume, the more
you want. Similarly, it is often said of any learning: "the more you learn, the less
you know. "In the case of exhuming the past, the desire to know "who I am and where
did I come from” approaches obsession. The researchers of this document found this to
be truer than true!
Be that as it may, it has been a thrill to search for and find descendants of this clan.
It should be stated at the outset that a margin of error exists in conducting such a
human study. The larger percentage of the material contained herein is documentable
with family ties based on recorded facts. But -- there are times when a logical deduction
of a relationship is the only means available to continue.
For example: if a family has an older son 18 years of age who appears on a given Census,
and he doesn't appear on the next Census as part of that household, but he does appear
on the same Census as the head of a household; and living next door; and of an age
exactly 10 years older; then it is reasonably certain that he and his spouse and any
children named are of the same family.
If there is anthing you wish corrected or expanded, provide the necessary information,
pictures, etc...
Finally: this is a lengthy document, so we are providing each family head with one (1)
copy. Therefore, we plead with you to have copies made very soon and circulate them
within your immediate and extended family.
DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL LEWIS JENKINS OF NORTH CAROLINA (1760-1845)
Initially a point of clarification must be made so that the reader of this genealogy is
assured that the research included herein bears out the true facts and the true
identity of Lewis Jenkins of Edgecombe, North Carolina and Meriwether County, Georgia.
Historical documents indicate and support the existence of two Lewis Jenkins -- one
residing in the Onslow County, North Carolina area; the other residing originally in
Edgecombe County, North Carolina area -- both born in the year 1760.[39] [79] There
appears to be some confusion concerning the Revolutionary War records of these two men,
but other than that the movement of these two North Carolinians and their families to
separate areas of Georgia is quite clear and well documented.
Over a period of some fifty-odd years, the Lewis Jenkins of Onslow County, N. C. migrated,
with his family, to Greene and Washington Counties, Georgia.[40] The Lewis Jenkins of
Edgecombe County N. C. , apparently migrated to Rowan County, N. C., in 1796 [6] and
then to Gwinnett County, Georgia, where he received land from the Cherokee Land Lottery
in 1827. He eventually settled in Meriwether County, Georgia.[50] [77] Further, the
Onslow Lewis is buried in Greene County, Ga. [40]; the Edgecombe Lewis is buried in
Meriwether County, Ga.[37]
It is well-documented that the Onslow Lewis Jenkins, with wife Annie Jones, had children:
Uriah, Hezikiah, Drury, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Esther, and Patty.[52]
The Edgecombe Lewis Jenkins, with wife Jemima (possibly Jones) , had children William,
David , John, Lewis, Kinchean, Allen, Daniel, Rebecca, Nancy, and Susanna.[6] [43]
Only one of the children, Kinchean Jenkins, remained in Gwinnett County, Ga., and raised
a large family. The other children settled in both Meriwether and adjoining Harris
County. Deeds, census rolls, Wills, marriage, birth and death records (some contained
in family Bibles), all support the separate existence and the areas of migration of
these two men and their families.
A major point of difference lies within the Pension Records of these two men that exist
within the National Archives.[79] Unfortunately it appears that various individuals
seeking DAR membership have mistakenly used the pension record of Lewis Jenkins from
Edgecombe County, North Carolina to support the Revolutionary War record and application
for pension of Lewis Jenkins of Onslow County, North Carolina.
A search of the records shows conclusively that Lewis Jenkins of Edgecombe was mustered
into the Continental service for a term of three years in Wake County, North Carolina.
His affidavit, recorded in Gwinnett County , Georgia Inferior Court in 1833 states that
fact.[79] The affidavit of Lewis Jenkins of Onslow, taken in Court in Washington County,
Georgia, states that he entered service first as a draftee in Fayetteville, North
Carolina, and later as a volunteer in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
More important to the point under discussion is the documentation that Lewis Jenkins
from Edgecombe County, N. C., applied for and received a Revolutionary War Pension
under Pension Record #S31771 while living in Gwinnett County, Ga. in 1832.
Though the Lewis Jenkins from Onslow County, N. C. appeared to be a true patriot with
an acceptable Revolutionary War service record, his application for pension was rejected
under Pension Record #R5772.[79] It is quite possible (from inferences found in some
of the literature) that he may have received pension approval at a later date, but
these researchers have not been able to document that fact. THE FAMILY

1.10 - Daniel Jenkins, b. 11/20/1816; d. 9/1/1879
Apparently, Lewis Jenkins initially migrated from Edgecombe County, North Carolina to
Rowan County, N. C. around 1795; thence to Gwinnett County, Ga. during the early 1820s.
While in Gwinnett the family had resided in the Rockbridge and Sweetwater districts
(now Lawrenceville and Duluth, Ga.);[41] however, Lewis, his wife Jemima, and all ten
of their children were born in North Carolina.
His name appears on the Roster of North Carolina soldiers participating in the American
Revolution, and he is listed as receiving Bounty Land in “the Cumberland” on Warrant
#3890, deeding 374 Acres “to self”. This land was later transferred to a Lazarus
Whitehead [79] who, in turn, sold land in Rowan County, NC to Lewis in the year 1796.
Prior to his family’s entry into Georgia, Lewis Jenkins sold his land in Rowan County
in the year 1824.[83]
Lewis’ last child, Daniel, was born in 1816; thus, it was some time after that date
that the family moved into Georgia. The first record of their presence in Gwinnett
County, Ga. is the appearance of the names of Lewis, his wife and children (with the
exception of William , John and a younger Lewis) on an early membership roll in 1833
of the Friendship Baptist Church at Five Forks, just outside Lawrenceville, Ga.[47]
At about this same time the names of the parents, Lewis and Jemima, and the names of
all ten(10) children appear in the Minutes of the Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church
of Duluth, GA. The Friendship and Sweetwater Baptist Churches were both part of the
Yellow River Baptist Church Association.
Billy, their first child, married in 1825 and had his first child in 1828. That child,
James M. Jenkins, was listed on the Census rolls as being born in Georgia. Thus, the
family had migrated to Georgia before that date. At that time, after the Cherokee Land
Lottery of 1827, Lewis was given land in Gwinnett County (District 6, Section 36, Lot
#125). [94] (Mention should be made at this point that John had passed away in 1832;
logically, his name would not appear on either a Church roll or a Census).
Deed books indicate that Lewis had purchased land in Troup County, Ga. in the area that
later became Meriwether County; that land being Lot #13, 7th District. The purchase
was made in the year 1833.[79] Obviously, Lewis had continued his migration down into
Meriwether at that time, Evidently, he had preceded his family to that area of Georgia
as evidenced by Church records and land deeds of that County.
In the Census of 1840, Lewis Jenkins, the “Well Spring” of this genealogy, appears in
Meriwether County, Ga.[8] Also, deed books of that County, dated September 1841,
contain a transfer of “that tract of land on which I live” by Lewis Jenkins to his son,
Daniel, effective upon his and Jemima’s death. This was Lot #13, District 7.
There is little doubt that Lewis and his wife, Jemima, are buried on the land that once
was part of his farm in Meriwether County, Ga.. It is believed that the burial site
may be found in the Marchum-Brooks family plot some 4.1 miles North of Greenville, Ga.
just at the side of State Road #100. The graves are unmarked; however, a search of the
former Lewis Jenkins farm indicates no other probable site since Lewis retained “one
Rod Square” for a gravesite when the land was sold to Hezikiah Wimbish in 1845. Daniel
made this land sale after his father’s death since Lewis had transferred the family house
and land to Daniel for “love and affection” and to be effective upon Jemima’s death.
The graves, topped with red brick, are visible, but overgrown with ground cover and
disturbed by the growth of a large tree. This gravesite was photographed by these
researchers December, 1994.[73]

church Kinchean and Lucetta first attended when coming to Gwinnett); both buried in
Sweetwater Primitive Church Cemetery, Pleasant Hill Rd., Duluth, Georgia, where Kinchean
was an Ordained Deacon (the headstones are visible and readable) [73] Because of the
rarity of his name, Kinchean and his family appear incorrectly interpreted by a typist
of the original 1850 Gwinnett County Census.[9] The typist read an unclear “Kinchen”
as “Richard”; however the correct names of his wife, Lucetta, and their children makes
identification positive; his name appears again in the 1860 Census of Gwinnett as simply
“K” [14] and in 1870 as “Hinchon” -- again with all other names of wife and children
correctly entered; [17] also appears in the 1880 Census; [22] this family came to

Gwinnett County); on 7/12/1862 Kinchean was mustered into Troop”C”, 10th Cavalry

Jenkins (wife of deceased Confederate Veteran Allen Sampson Jenkins, Sr, killed in

in all early Census rolls up and into 1870. At that time he was living with his parents,
Kinchean and Lucetta Jenkins. His name and signature are on Kinchean’s Will, 1883; on
the Probate papers, 1885; and, on the Property Disposition documents in 1887. He is
listed in the membership of Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Churcvh, Duluth, Ga.,as
having joined in 1876. Further, he appears in the Church Minutes as being Excluded from
the Church for “unlawful separation “ from his wife. Though there seems to be confusing
and conflicting records as to his marriage, it is quite certain (based on Arnold family
records, Gwinnett County Marriag Book records, the Kinchean Jenkins Family Bible, and
the George Jenkins personal letter of 1931), that John R. did, in fact, wed Nancy Mahalie
Arnold on Oct. 8, 1871.
The Kinchean Jenkins Family Bible only addresses John R.s wife a “N.M.”, and at one
pont refers to her as “Narcissus”(possibly an error in identifiction since Allen S. Jenkins
married Narcissus Jones). John R.’s children (with NM) are listed as Rosalie, Estelle and
Lucetta; however, Nancy Arnold Jenkins is listed as a “widow” in the Census of 1880,
living with a daughter, Mary --age 7 years. No other children are listed on that Census.
The 1880 date is one year after John R. and Nancy had apparently called things off.
Arnold family records indicate that Nancy re-married a Charles Nash and moved to Texas
She had four children with Nash, but the child, Mary, (who did not appear in Kinchean’s
Bible) nor any of the other children who did appear in that Bible record, appear again
in Nash family records.
Oddly enough, John D. Arnold, Nancy’s father, made his Will (1897) long after John R.
and Nancy had parted, and long after she and Nash had married and moved to Texas but
still referred to her in the Will as the wife of John R. Jenkins even at that late date.
So, documentation tells us that:
1. Nancy Arnold and John R. Jenkins married in 1871 and separated in 1879
2. they apparently had at least 3 surviving children together
3. the child, Mary,(same age as Rosalie) was with Nancy in 1880 --one year after
their separation
4. though Nancy called herself a “widow” in1880, John R. Jenkins was not dead at
that time
5. On 3/12/1881 Nancy M.Jenkins won a judgement against John R. Jenkins in
Gwinnett County Court. This apparently was a divorce proceeding since the
only costs involved were those of the Court
6. Nancy then married Charles Nash 9/29/1881 and moved to Texas; this only two
years after separating from John R. Jenkins. They had 6 children; five of whom
were born in Texas
7. John R. is in his father’s Will (1883); in the Probate papers (1885); in the Property
Disposition papers (1887); and, in the Sweetwater Church Minutes (1890)
Fulton County, Ga. Estate Records, Book “D”, p. 701, lists a John R. Jenkins as having
resided on Irwin St. in Atlanta, Ga.. This is within the same square block at Howell St.
where his brother, Alfred S. Jenkins lived.(Alfred probably had his mother, Lucetta with
him at that time) The proximity of a John R. Jenkins to Alfred S. is almost conclusive
proof (or at least, assumptive) of John R.’s prescence in Atlanta at that time.
The real mystery of this family lies in the continued absence of the name of Mary, who
appeared in the 1880 Gwinnett Census with Nancy Jenkins, and the continued absence of
the names of the three surviving children referenced in Kinchean’s Bible.(all of this after
John and Nancy’s separatioin and after Nancy married Nash and moved to Texas where
she had four more children with Charles Nash). It is also a mystery as to WHY Nancy
was listed as “Widow” unless the divorce had not been recognized by the Church
at that time, making marriage to Nash difficult. When they moved to Texas they had
already had one child, born in 1882.
These researchers will continue to investigate the John R. Jenkins family.

CONCLUDING REMARKS
The following comments are extracted from Frank Duane Jenkins’ unpublished work
of1976 [58], along with information obtained by these researchers. An examination of a

There have been inferences that the first Daniel Lewis Jenkins was born in 1735.
Then a generation later, a Daniel Lewis Jenkins was born in 1760 (this Lewis is the focal
point of this genealogy). In the 1930’s family reunions were held wherein descendants
of Daniel Lewis Jenkins, Jr.were present.At just such a reunion held at Grant Park
Atlanta, Ga., Lewis Jenkins was described as having been born in 1735 -- obviously this
was the Senior Lewis.The news clipping shown below addresses that Reunion.(This news
clipping is from the Atlanta Journal, published in Atlanta, Ga. Dated 8/6/1932 and may be
found in the Alabama Archives, Montgomery, Ala.)
Jenkins Family Holds Reunion at Grant Park
8/6/32 --The Atlanta Journal
The annual reunion of the descendants of Daniel
Jenkins, who was born in Edgecombe County,
North Carolina in February, 1835, was held at
Grant Park, Atlanta, Ga., July 2, 1933, with
about one hundred present. Of the four sons
of Daniel Jenkins' descendants, three were present.
Atlanta was well represented by several of the
Jenkins family. Macon, LaGrange,Warm Springs,
Chipley, Columbus, Opelika, Ala., Tallahassee, Fla.,
Dacula, Ga., Shady Dale, Ga., and East Point were
also represented.
Lunch was served at the noon hour. Afterwards
a business session was held. The same officers
being elected to serve another year.
Several of the Jenkins' in-laws made short talks.
The meeting for next year will be held at Bethany
Church, about one mile from Chipley, Ga.Harris
County , this being the church where the family
had its membership. There they helped build the
house and lived in the community nearby.
It was suggested that next year all people by the
name of Jenkins, or who are related to the
Jenkins family, be invited to attend the reunion
thereby getting more of the descendants of
Daniel Jenkins together
Various land transactions and Wills of many of the Jenkins families of the 18th Century
give clues as to their relationships with other families. Unfortunately, it seems that even
though Lewis Jenkins can be traced through land deals, there is little, or no, conclusive
evidence as to either his parents or his siblings. It is highly possible that Lewis came from
a Lewis, Sr., born in 1735; however, it is just as possible that Lewis came from a
John(possibly middle name Lewis) Jenkins, Sr., born in 1720 or thereabouts. These
researchers are in possession of a land transaction, dated 2/1/1763, in which a “Jenkins,
Sr.” Deeds land over to a “Jenkins, Jr.”. In the body of the Deed , Jenkins, Sr. is
referenced throughout as “John Jenkins, Sr. While the Jenkins, Jr. is referenced as “the
said Lewis Jenkins”.( Book “K”, p.3, Bertie County, N. C.) It may be that the reference
is simply an older person to a younger one; however this has not seemed to be the case in
any other legal document that has been examined in the researching of this genealogy.
Therefore, the inference is that: this Lewis is a John Lewis Jenkins and may well have
been the Lewis Jenkins who fathered Daniel Lewis Jenkins in 1760. It is realized that this
may well be a false interpretation, but it gives food for thought in trying to pin down the
predecessors of Lewis Jenkins of North Carolina and Georgia. -- the tap root of our
study. In an effort to give the reader some clue as to the “land path” that Lewis took in
his migration, the land transactions presented below define his participation, or the
participation of those who were known to be friends or neighbors:
1. Evidence is strong that Lewis Jenkins was a descendant of the Elizabeth County,
Va. Jenkins family.The family names of that family are found throughout Lewis’
immediate and extended family’s children.
2. John Jenkins, Sr. (possibly John Lewis Jenkins, Sr.) and Lewis Jenkins had
connections and dealings with the Whitehead family of Edgecombe County, NC..
As presented earlier (p.2-3), Lewis was a Revolutionary War soldier (1776-79)
4. Lewis received Bounty Land “in the Cumberland” (Revolution) which he deeded
to Lazarus Whitehead (the younger)
5. Lazarus Whitehead moved to Rowan County (originally that part that came to be
in Iredell County; became pastor of a Church and eventually sold 162 acres of land
to Lewis Jenkins in 1796) That land was at the confluence of Dutchman’s Creek
and the Yadkin River -- just above Salisbury N. C. .
6. A John and a Jessie Jenkins, both obviously sons of a John, Sr, had been deeded
land by their father in 1765 and 1766. That land was in the same general area
whereLewis had held acreage.
7. In 1801, a Jessie Jenkins bought land on Dutchman’s Creek nearby Lewis Jenkins
8. Lewis Jenkins sold his Rowan County land in 1824 just prior to leaving for
Georgia
9. In 1827 the same Lewis Jenkins received Cherokee Land Lottery acreage in
Gwinnett County, Ga.
10. Lewis Jenkins, now of Gwinnett , applied for and received a Revolutionary War
Pension (1832)
11. That same Lewis Jenkins(#10 above) , of Gwinnett County, Ga., purchased land
lot #13 in the 7th District of Meriwether County, Ga.. in the year 1833. Eight
years later, in 1841, he deeded the same land to his son, Daniel, for “love and
affection”, and $5.00, citing the care Daniel had given his father and mother.
12. Also , in 1841, Daniel sold the north half of the Lewis farm to his brother Lewis,
and four tears later (1845) the balance of the homeplace was sold to a Wimbish
with the stipulation that”one rod square” would be reserved as the burial place for
Lewis and Jemima.
Again, the above chronicle of land transactions is presented to provide the reader with
some idea of the path of Lewis Jenkins from his Revolutionary War enlistment in Wake
County, N. C. in 1776 (age 16) to his burial in Meriwether County, Ga.in 1845. Because
of his Pension Application in Gwinnett County, Ga. in 1832, we are assured that Lewis
Jenkins is , in fact, the forebearer from whom we sprung. The difficulty lies in deter-
mining exactly where he was born and who his parents were The most accurate assumption
that we can make is that he was born either in Bertie or Wake County, N. C..
in the year 1760.

These researchers had no knowledge of root relationships in Texas when they
began this work, when, in fact, there is a "whole passel" of Jenkins from Daniel Lewis
Jenkins of North Carolina all over that State; and Alabama; and Arkansas; and Lord knows
where else. It is the hope of the researchers that all living Jenkins receiving and
reading this document will appreciate the work and love that has gone into the effort,
and that those now living in the present and those who are yet to be born will appreciate
their roots. It is also hoped that no future Daniel Lewis Jenkins family researchers
will have to dig as deeply as did the authors of this document.
It behooves these researchers to stress the point that some family groups are more
inclusive and displayed with more biographical information than others; i. e., treated
in greater depth . Where information has been found or provided by the living Jenkins
members, the facts are presented. If the reader desires more information to be included
in the next draft of this document , then so inform us; communicate and it shall be done!
This body of genealogical material has been assembled specifically for the family, so let
us know if you know more than you have told us or more than we have found. To
communicate to us in this area, let us know the numerical station thavolutionary War
(probably Cumberland County, NC) which he deeded, land Creek plus Baptist Church records
of that county,and that this is the family whom we have tracedLewis Factually, we know
he resided with his family in Gwinnett and Meriwether Counties,GA, after migrating from
Rowan County, NC, and that he died in Meriwether, 10/5/1843..
