Hi Bill, Shirley and List,
These lines are my direct lines and this Jenkins - Boone connection is one I'd really like to have some help with. To figure out if this Mary Jenkins of the will below is indeed the Mary Cole wife of Edward Jenkins, Senr.
I have seen the connection that Bill gives for Priscilla Boone being the dau of Edward Jenkins, Senr. and his wife Mary Cole, [not seen her as Mary Sarah]. In my data I have the birth year of ca 1713 for Priscilla, but I have no source for that date. What is the birth year of Sarah the wife of John Bowling, Priscilla's sister? Shirley do you know?
Now, the children of Edward Jenkins and Mary Cole are all born in the 1730's, big gap from 1713 to the 1730's.
Also re: the will of Mary Jenkins, that Shirley shared, if she is Mary Cole Jenkins her son Edward Jenkins and his wife Sarah Middleton [my line] were alive and had children when she died and there is no mention of them in this will. Her dau Mary Ann married James Middleton [also my line] was not alive, but James and Mary Ann had children and there is no mention of any Middleton grandchildren in her will. So in this will of Mary Jenkins I find there is no connection that makes her the wife of Edward Jenkins, Senr.
But I would like to know what Jenkins she was married to. And think about this, Priscilla and Sarah her daus may not be from the Jenkins marriage.
I look forward to help on this family,
Sincerely,
Shirley Middleton Moller
