Notes

  • Some sources report that Harriet Jenkins Israel's father was William M or William Mannon Jenkins.  Those that report a mother have the name of William's wife as Anna or Annie Scroggin.  But most genealogies of William Mannon (or Manon) Jenkins have his wife as Mary (Polly) Cornet.  And they show no other wife, and no child named Harriet.

    Harriet's father William Jenkins was not William Mannon Jenkins.  I have been able to find no further information on Anna Scroggin or other info on birth or parentage of Harriet Jenkins Israel, other than the censuses here.

    Terry Jenkins reports that William Jenkins' parents were Abel Jenkins and Elizabeth Tracy.

    William married Annie Scroggin about 1839.  In the 1850 census, they are reported in Anderson County, Kentucky, with children 10 years old and under.  Annie's mother, apparently a widow, is living with them.

    1850 Federal Census, Anderson County, Kentucky, 26 September, page 224B, Hse/Fam #502

    George Ann Jenkins 2 F b Kentucky [b abt 1848]
    Isabella Scroggin 77 F b Virginia [b abt 1773]

    Some time after their son WIlliam was born, about 1854, they moved to Missouri.  They were enumerated there in 1860 living in Waverly township of Lafayette County.  Her mother is no longer with them and must have died before they moved.  George Ann, reported as 2 years old in 1850, must have died as well, since no 12-year-old child is reported matching her in 1860.

    1860 Federal Census, Lafayette County, Missouri, 26 June, Waverly Township, P O Lexington, page 17-18 (scan 138), Hse #121, Fam #152

    Harriet Jenkins 17 F born Kentucky
    Emily Jenkins 14 F born Kentucky
    Elizah M Jenkins 13 F b Kentucky
    William Jenkins 6 M b Kentucky

    In the 1870 census it appears that William has a second wife, because she is named Sarah and is the same age in 1870 as Annie was in 1860.  So we might assume Annie died before the census.  But Annie's date of death on her grave is 16 Jan 1880.  So did Annie have another name of Sarah?  And there is the age difference.  From the age reported in 1860, Annie would been 58 in 1870, not 48.

    1870 Federal Census, Lafayette County, Missouri, 6 August, Waverly, P O Lexington, page 26, Hse #146, Fam #161

    Jenkins, Eliza 24 F W At Home born Kentucky [b abt 1846]
    Jenkins, William 19 M W Laborer born Kentucky [b abt 1851]

    William's daughter Mary is living two hosues away and is now a widow at age 28.

    1870 Federal Census, Lafayette County, Missouri, 6 August, Waverly, P O Lexington, page 26, Hse #144, Fam #159

    King, Sallie 9 F W At Home born Missouri [b abt 1861]
    King, George 7 M W At Home born Missouri [b abt 1863]

    In 1880, Mary must have also now passed away, because her two younger children are now in William's household, along with his married daughter Harriet and her husband William Thomas Israel.

    Note the interesting birth state reports.  Harriet's record reports that she was born in Kentucky and so were both her parents.  Yet her father's record reports he was born in Tennessee.  Other sources report Kentucky also, Harlan County, specifically.  Next door is a W L Jenkins, age 25 with his wife and child, who appears to be Harriet's brother.

    ----------------------------------
    This Civil War Service record and other records are for William Mannon Jenkins, not the William Jenkins who was married to Annie Scroggin and was the father of Harriet Jenkins Israel.  Several genealogies have confused and tried to merge these with quite a resultant mess.
