JENKINS
Seeking information on Wilfred Monroe Jenkins, reputed to have been from
Amite County Ms. born about 1843-45. Father was a Mississippi riverboat
captain, also owned a plantation/farm. According to family legend, he left
home at the age of 17 with his personal belongings and his cow, joined a
Brister Wagon train going west to Texas. Met and married a Sarah Ellen
Bolgiano, probably in Louisiana. His fathers name was possibly John W.
Jenkins. Would dearly love to have any available data on them. His name is
mistakenly represented in some circles as George. But my grandfather's birth
certificate definitely states his name as Wilfred Monroe Jenkins. So far have
had no luck in tracking him down. He and Sarah had 4 children, Suzie, Stella,
John W. (my grandfather) and George (who was later shot to death by a step
brother at the age of 13. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I understood
from family legend that a Jenkins family book which included Harold Jenkins
aka Conway Twitty was published some years ago and included my branch of
Jenkins. Have been unable to find this book. Any info?? Thanks for your time
and help. Joan

Christopher PINKNEY and Nicey/Nicy NELSON married in Amite in 1873. A Nicey
NELSON married Thomas HORTON in Hall Co. GA. in 1821. Thomas died in 1864.
Their youngest son of about 12 children was Daniel Pinkney HORTON, who later
moved to MS. If this is the same Nicey NELSON she would have been 69 yrs.
old when she married Christopher, so I doubt if they had any children. I am
especially interested in finding out if this is the same Nicey NELSON. What
was the connection between the PINKNEYs, HORTONs, & NELSONs in GA & MS and
where and when did Nicey die.
