Notes

Randolph was commonly called Randel. Family sources name him James Randoloph Jenkins. In his will he provided for a home to be provided for 5 years after his death to a current resident on a part of his property. The name in a typewritten transcript of the original will is spelled as John Burce. This is commonly thought to be John Burel.

One of Randel's daughters married John and Patience Burel's oldest son Louis. There are strong ties between the Jenkins and Burel/Burrell famillies and intermarriages at several levels. Members of the two families moved from South Carolina to Georgia and Mississippi together and others from there to Arkansas County, Arkansas.

Randel was in Union District, South Carolina before the first census of the united States in 1790.

I have traced my family's origins to Shropshire, England to my ancestor John Jenkins, 1656-1717, married to Martha Garner, 1656-1752. They settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia. ...

They had two sons, Ezekiel Jenkins, 1695-1750, & William Jenkins, 1704-1747. William Jenkins had one son, William Jenkins - 1740-1787, had 4 sons, one of which was James Randolph Jenkins, 1760-1824, who was born in Fairfax County, Va., & had 19 children, one of which was Samuel M. Jenkins, 1789-1872, who was the father of my great grandfather, Owen Selvy Jenkins, who died of wounds from the civil war at the age of 35. Samuel M. Jenkins was the first of this set of Jenkinses to be born in Union County, South Carolina.
