Early censuses (1870-1880) report Jennie was born in Kentucky. Later ones report she was born in Arkansas. I am following the early ones, assuming that closer to the date of birth and reported by her father or aunt, that information is more likely to be correct. Her father was born in Virginia and her mother in Delaware. I have not discovered her mother's name. In the 1870 census above, her father is a widower.

On the same page, a few houses before Sol and Jennie, is a Sylvester Wadkins, who looks like a brother of Jennie's first husband. Sylvester was born in Mississippi, both parents born in Alabama. Thomas Wadkins, teh children's father, is reported as born in North Carolina. This would be possible, especially if he was an older brother of Sylvester. But there is not enough information to confirm the family ties of the Wadkins.
