BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH M. JENKINS BATTLE HYMN OF THE JENKINS (TUNE: "Battle Hymn oj the Republic") The ancient Clan of Jenkins raised their standards to the sky; They held their name in honor and their aims were ever high; They always did their duty and were not afraid to die. The clan goes marching onl

CHORUS: Glory to the Tribe of Jenkins; Virile, worthy, brave and loyal 1 Let us sing "Perge sed Cau-te!" The clan goes marching onl

Mae-narch, Richard, John and Seth were fathers of our clan; Posterity of David and Benja-min never ran. Joseph wras quite virile, Thomas was a sturdy man. The clan goes marching on!

Our fathers dwelt in England, Scotland, Ireland and in Wales; Where English tongue is spoken now the Jenkins name prevails. How could the nations but advance when Jenkins never fails! The clan goes marching onl

Richard was in Parliament—he was among the peers; Thomas was High Sheriff—of his foes he had no fears; Henry Jenkins lived a hundred-nine-and-sixty years. The clan goes marching onl

John was a guide to Washington and with him at Yorktown; With famous men of Georgia, Charlie's name is written down; Albert was in Congress and, in Dixie, of renown. The clan goes marching on!

The Jenkins Clan is mighty with a hundred thousand strong; In Seventy-six, four hundred Jenkins fought to right a wrong. Seven towns bear Jenkins name. Sure, let us sing that song—• The clan goes marching on!

When danger threatened country or a battle to be won, Or righteous causes need defenders or work to be done, Brave Jenkins were right there, and never did a Jenkins run. The clan goes marching on!

The Jenkins sons have courage any task or foe to face; The Jenkins girls are lovely with their beauty, charm and grace; The Jenkins leaven is a blessing to the human race. The clan goes marching on!

HE Jenkins family is among the forty-nine "best families" selected by the American Historical-Genealogical Society for whom the Society has published family histories during the past few years. The Jen­ Hkins family has been prominent in the British Empire and in the United States; its members having played important roles in war and in peace. Family pride is a commendable trait and should be cultivated. All Jenkinses have just cause to be proud of their family history and traditions. In references No. 7, No. 10 and No. 14 we find the following regarding the origin and meaning of the name "Jenkins." The surname "Jenkins" is one of the many modified forms of the uni­ versally used "John". The tendency in England at first was to "Jonkin," but the influence of the Norman-French " Jenin" was too strong. "John" itself was of Norman introduction and has very rarely passed into a surname. However, its modifications and derivations are a rich source of some of the most familiar names in our nomenclature. "Jenkins" was variously spelled "Janekyn," "Jonkinson," etc., and is the "ancestor" of "Jenkyn" and "Jinkins." The data in this volume is gathered from reliable sources. We have selected what we consider the most important material. Many of the daughters, and sons for whom no issue was shown, have been omitted from the pedigrees. A missing symbol indicates that a name has been omitted. Those desiring further information are advised to consult the volumes mentioned in the list of References. The compiler hopes that, in producing this volume he is bringing to the Jenkins family information which will be of interest and value to them, and that he is rendering an important service to the public. He and his asso­ ciates will be glad to give their cooperation to members of the family who are interested in having a complete genealogy of the family published. Unless otherwise plainly shown, the persons in this volume whose names are accompanied by three figures are children of the immediately preceding persons bearing immediately preceding numbers. All persons in each group bearing the same letter as a part of their numbers, are directly related. The generations of the descendants of those bearing numbers of three figures are represented as follows. However, some of our material is published as copied from various records without rearrangement according to this system.

Compiler. (B) THE JENKINS COAT OF ARMS

A j COAT of Arms is an emblem or a device which is displayed by titled I'**'J persons, persons of royal blood, and their descendants. Coats of [ggjgSsI Arms were originally used for purposes of identification and recogni­ tion on the field of battle as well as in civil life. It is claimed by some writers that Coats of Arms, in a crude form, were used by Noah's sons after the flood. There are records of other Coats of Arms, in one crude form or another, at different periods of ancient history. Heraldry, however, as we know it today, did not become of much importance until soon after the invasion of England by William the Conqueror, A D. 1066. Heraldry became of general interest at about the time of the Crusades. The Jenkins Coat of Arms shown in the front of this volume is the Arms of several large branches of the Welsh family of Jenkins. Coats of Arms very similar to it are used by the Jenkins of Bicton Hall, Co. Salop; the Jenkins of Cruckton, whose pedigree is contained in this book, and many others. Numerous other branches of the Jenkins family have Coats of Arms resembling it. This is the most widely used of all Jenkins Coats of Arms and has been in existence for many centuries. It is described in BURKE'S GENERAL ARMORY, BURKE'S LANDED GENTRY, BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE and other reliable works on heraldry, in some cases accom­ panied by illustrations. It has been used for generations by many American branches of the Jenkins family.

HERALDIC LANGUAGE ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Arms Per pale, azure and sable, Three golden fleur de lis on a three fleur de lys or. shield half blue and half black.

Crest A battle axe erect argent, A silver battle axe with a. handle or. handle of gold.

Motto Perge sed caute. (Latin) Go on, but cautiously.

Sir Bernard Burke, of Heralds College, London, said "Heraldry is prized by all who can show honorable ancestry or wish to found honorable families." Besides its family significance this Coat of Arms makes an excellent mural decoration and inspires the admiration and comment of all who see it. It is quite appropriate that members of the Jenkins family who have a pride in their ancestry should display the family Coat of Arms, in proper colors. (C) ANCIENT JENKINS FAMILIES

26 (K) JENKINS TOWNS, ETC. There are in the United States towns as follows: JENKINS: Ky., Minn., Mo., N. J.; JENKINS BRIDGE: Va.; JENKINSBURG: Ga.; JENKINSVILLE: S. C. There are also in the United States numerous counties, townships, streets, avenues, etc., bearing the name "Jenkins". This is eloquent testimony to the high esteem in which the name is held in this count rv.

(L) JENKINS CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES

The compiler of these records has made up a list from city and telephone directories of the United States, and from other sources, as follows. Care was taken to eliminate, wherever possible, persons known or believed to be colored, or of nationalities other than British and American:

Alabama 103 Maine 64 Oklahoma 84 Arizona 31 Maryland 134 Oregon. . 20 Arkansas 37 Massachusetts 266 Pennsylvana 548 California 147 Michigan 97 Rhode Islanid 25 Colorado 76 Minnesota 54 South Carolina 14 Connecticut 67 Mississippi 22 South Dakota 2 District of Columbia. . . 114 Missouri 169 Tennessee 98 Delaware 13 Montana 33 Texas 519 Florida 116 Nebraska 49 Utah 72 Georgia 133 Nevada 7 Vermont 28 Idaho 21 New Hampshire 34 Virginia 146 Illinois 308 New Jersey 224 Washington 37 Indiana 248 New Mexico 3 West Virginia 91 Iowa 75 New York 378 Wisconsin 59 Kansas 73 North Carolina 81 Wyoming 7 Kentucky 128 North Dakota 8 Louisiana Ohio 524 Total 5,385

To secure an estimate of the "Jenkins population" of the United States, we figure as follows: (a) Multiply by Only about half the names were taken from each directory consulted 2 Half of the Jenkinses reside in the rural districts or in small towns having no printed directories which were available to us 2 There are an average of more than four persons in each American family 4

27 Since Jenkins daughters marry and have as many descendants as the Jenkins sons, there are as many descendants of "other names" as there are bearing the name Jenkins (though it is much easier to locate the latter) 2 By multiplying each figure of column (a) into the preceding figure, we have a total of 32 Conservative estimate of the Jenkins population of the United States, one-half of whom bear the name Jenkins and one-half of whom bear other names 172,320 The estimated Jenkins population of any of the states may be obtained by multiplying the figures shown by 32. There are Jenkinses in every state of the Union. The Jenkins population of the British Empire is probably equal to that in the United States.

28 (M) RELIGIONS OF THE JENKINSES

For several centuries the Jenkinses• lived in Wales, England and Scot­ land. Most of the British (with the exception of those living in South Ire­ land), and, likewise, the Jenkinses were and are of the Protestant faith. There are a few Jenkinses of the Catholic faith in the British Isles, but it is estimated that their number does not exceed five per cent of the entire Jenkins population. The Jenkinses who came from the British Isles to America continued in the faith of their fathers, for the most part, though their descendants in this country today will be found in the memberships of practically all the various churches. It is estimated that of all the Jenkinses in America who are church members, at least ninety-three per cent are of the Protestant faith. Biographical sketches of eighteen Jenkinses appear in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA. Their religious faiths are shown as follows: CONGREGA- TIONALIST, 1; FRIEND (QUAKER), 1; EPISCOPAL, 3; METHO­ DIST EPISCOPAL, 1; PRESBYTERIAN, 3; OTHER PROTESTANTS, 1; RELIGION NOT STATED, 8.
