This is the same family. your John Jenkins and my Alexander Jenkins were brothers. My
Alexander died in 1833 and it took me years to find his estate papers, but a
correspondent working on an entirely different Jenkins line finally went to the county and
found the guardianship papers which gave the names and ages of the children, therefore
documenting the line. You can add Nancy A. Jenkins born 1840 as another child of John
Jenkins. She is the one who wrote the letter to Rachel Jenkins Latta (my 2nd great
grandmother). The letter is printed in an entry above. The Sarah we are looking for Nancy
called "Aunt Sarah Drake", so she would have been a sister to John and
alexander.
