Notes
- Sources report that Harriet Jenkins' father was William Mannon (or Manon) Jenkins of Kentucky. One or more genealogies report her mother as Anna or Anne/Annie O Scroggin. Other genealogies report the wife of William Mannon Jenkins as Mary Cornet. Census records and genealogies alike show no child named Harriet of William Mannon Jenkins and Mary Cornet. Harriet's father was a different William Jenkins than the one who was the husband of Mary Cornet.
We find William and Anna in the 1850 census in Anderson County, Kentucky. Her widowed mother is living in her and William's household.

Some time after the birth of their son William, Harriet's paretns moved to Missouri. Note that in teh 1860 census below, Harriet's grandmother is no longer in their household. She probably passed away before the move, which left the family free to move. The last child repoerted in 1859, George Ann, is also missing, The latter must have died, either before they moved or after they got to Missouri.

By the 1870 census, William's wife has apparently died and his current wife is named Sarah. She is age 48, two years younger than him, where Annie had been 8 years older. There are no new children in the household. Harriet's widowed sister Mary is living two houses away.
