INTRODUCTION.

l\fore than a quarter of a century ago, I began to ask myself "\Vho were my forefathers?" and to set about trying to answer the question.. I took up this quest and have carried it forward in the midst of an c.~ceedingly busy life~ and of many engrossing cares. The results accomplished have required much time and study. Great numbers of letters ha,·e been written, records and documents have been c.,-amined, and hun­ dreds of to,..,·n and local histories and published gene­ alogies have been consulted.. N'ecessarily the ,vork has not been continuous. Other occupations prevented do­ ing very much at any one time. But the purpose has been alway$ in mind, and more or less correspondence:: usually on hand. Genealogical research is a subject of much interest, and the pursuit and identification of a family ancestor a source of very great pleasure to the pursuer. Then, too. the incidental study of :\merican history is to fhe genealogist exceedingly valuable. (;) 8 ]ESXINS FAllILY Boox.

This ,vork came to me also as a duty. I have been informed so often,. that some one not long dead could have answered my questions,. or that some person once had a family record but it was no,v lost,. that I felt it incumbent on me to collect and put together what was yet available, lest, after another passing generation, much of it would be lost forever. It is too much to hope that w·hat I ha,·e gathered is free from errors. Great care has, however, been taken to make it a record of facts, and much that has been reported as family tradition has been left out, because not sufficiently authenticated.. In following the lh·es of my early forcfathers7 I have beco~ more familiar "';th the settlement of the At­ lantic coast, and with the struggles of the hardy pio­ nttl's who made the first homes of white people there, and whose descendants pressed westward from genera­ tion to generation.. lly ancestors no longer seem to me far away. I kno,,; them. For instance7 ia my tboughts I have hunted and fished and walked and talked ·with Peter Gunnarson Rambo, along the Dela­ ware, many years before William Penn came to give his name to the unbroken forest which stretched away five hundred miles to the West. A11 his simple, rugged life has pictured itself in my mind, and he has become a real person to me; and he is but one of the many of those sturdy, honest men who were laying the founda­ tions of a nation. JENKINS FA)m. Y Boox. 9

I have been peculiarly impressed ,vith the longevity of our early f orefathcrs and mothers.. They were often in the midst of privations and exposures, and their manner of living was plain and often hard,-but how long tbey lived ! ...\nd ho,v much. too, of real good thcv,, did ! ~I ost of them were Christians,-and were people of great faith. They ,,·ere not troubled \\~th the doubts and questions ,vhich meet one everywhere in this modem time ; their families were large, and the~· were reared in the fear of God. .-\nd out of that sim­ ple, rugged religious life came the great men of the Revolution. There are nvcnty-fi\"e times as m111y peo­ ple in our country today as were in the colonies when they declared their independence.

The Jenkins-Raymond ancestry in all its lines is a most worthy one. Nowhere among all these families is there a word or suspicion of dishonor. For the most part these ancestors have been well-to-do farmers and tradesmen, belonging to the great class of honest and industrious citizens which has ever been, and ever must be, the reliance and hope of the nation. The Jenkins genealogy and the larger portion of other facts brought together here have not been here­ to!ore published ..

The old Bible record referred to above mentions the said John, but says nothing as to whether he had or had not other children.

John Jenkins left a large estate. ·His sons, John Isaac and Joseph v.·erc made executors of bis will, and bis "loving friends Jacob Morgan and Robert Armorn were therein appointed· "overseers of this my will to take care and see it per£ormed accordi~ to my true intent and meaning." The will was dated in 1774 and proved l\Iay 17, 1777. He devised "that plantation and tract of land whereon I now live" to his son John. He also gave "plantations" to his sons Isaac and Joseph, and mon-:y bequests to David, \Villiam and Rebecca, also to. his granddaughter Mary~ the daughter of his son George. He mentions "my kinswoman Annie Rees." Then we get a glimpse of the "peculiar in­ stitution" which afterward led to the Civil war, and which then existed in a mild form in Pennsylvania. He says: 4'\Vhereas, I have hired my negro man Quash to my son John for eleven years from the first day of llarch, Ijj2, at the end of which time I do allow my said negro man to be free from sen1ng any person on my account. And I gi1.re my negro woman Cooba to my daughter Rebec~ Bat if my negro man Quash will be able to pay my daughter the sum of forty pounds at any time within three years after the ex­ piration of the said eleven years, then it is my ,vill that my said negro v;oman be free. and serve no per­ son any longer than till the said forty pounds .a.re paid."

Elizabeth (Rambo) J cnkins, his wife, was born Feb. 26, 1813. Two years after her birth, her mother died. Elizabeth, when she grew older. did not remain at home ,vith father, but lived with the Russell familv her . . in 01ester County, Pa., for some years previous to her marriage. In a Jetter written by her husband after her decease, he speaks especially of the Russe11s and he says Elizabeth ever cherished the memory of their kindness to her. Her father married again and his eldest child by his second marriage was Sarah Ann who married \Villiam James l\·fcKim .. and between her and Elizabeth t1,ere was a strong sisterly affection.

The burden of her household and family cares, and the malarial climate were at length too much for e,~en the constitution of Elizabeth, which was um.:sually strong.. In the letter of her hus­ band, alreadJ· mentioned. he says: "It has been very sickly in this country this fall~ we were aII sick at one time, one not able to ,vait on another.

She was sick two weeks .• , "* * * This was the first severe ]EXKINS FAlULY BOOK. 58 sickness that she had had since we have been in the \Vest." She belonged to a very long-lived stock, and it is sad indeed that she was called to leave her young children and pass over to the other side so early in life. She was a Presb,-ierian,,, and laments in one of her letters that there was no church of her preference near them. Her husband wrote of her: "She was a lo\~ng ,vife, :t fond mother, and a sincere Christian. She ,vas perfectly \\;Uing to try the reality of another world.

On the other hand, ,ve remembered" thankfully, 110,v her little flock of young children had all grown up and pros­ pered; how each one had counted for something on th~ better side of the ,vorld's life, and how at that day after the lapse of fifty-six years, all except Huldah, ·who was called away early, were alive and in good health (and still so in 1904); and we felt that truly the life of our mother, short as it ,,;as, had not been li\,.ed in vain. \Vhat joy would have been hers could she have J...,1own ,vhat was to be the future of her chil­ dren in her dying hour! But was it all hidden from her? Was not something of it realized to her faith, ,..,·hich sustained her and made her perfectly resigned to commit the care of her motherless little ones to the all-wise Father whom she so fully trusted? '\'.' ea, verily, .. Faith is the victory \\~hich overcomes the world!" The house on the Jenkins· iarm near ..-\.lexandria was a two-story double· affair with a great fire-place in the center, affording openings for log fires in the rooms on either side. It appeared to be frame, although one- • half was built of logs and afterwards coYercd with weather boards. }£...~KINS FAMILY BooK. 35

It \Vas a comfortable home. The farm of several hundred acres was successfully conducted, improved and enlarged by the father of the family. After his death its management devolved upon John William, the eldest son, while the twin sisters were the house­ keepers, and the family lived together until all were grown up, in harmony, happiness and prosperity. The boys all worked on the farm, going to school in win­ ter, until they reached manhood. The great value of the summer "school" attended by these youngsters is so generally appreciated that comment is unnecessary. It ,vas a home of hospitality and good cheer, and the occasions were rare when there was not company at the table and over night. The site of this borne was not without attractions; To the cast, four miles, across tihc Bat bottom, at the­ confluence of the l\1:ississippi and Des lloines rivers,.. nestled the little to\vn of ~4\lexandria, in the "fifties,''" a place of very c>..;:cnsivc business and great ambi­ tions. ..-\long its levee front, sweeping on toward the Gulf, rolled the great Father of W~ters, a mile in width, and on its opposite side rose up from the river's edge the towering bluffs crowned by the city of \Varsa,\·, Illinois. To the west of this home at about the same distance, stretched a long ridge of sand perhaps fifty feet high, then back of that the rising blue hills co,;­ ered with timber. On the sandy plain and along the foot of these bluffs were orchards and gardens and the commodious and hospitable farmhouses of well-to- . SG JENKINS FAMILY BooK. do inhabit.ants. One mile north of the Jenkins home, the historic Des i-Ioines \\round its \\ ay, in the summer time a shallow and harmless stream, among its shift­ ing sand bars ; but swelled in its flood seasons to a mighty and resistless torrent. overflowing its banks .and carcy;ng destruction and terror to all the people of the plain.. The Des n-foines on its Iowa side was lined with high hills against the ioot of which its ,\".aters beat continually. so that their fronts were un­ dermined, and had slipped down and been carried away, ]ea,.,;ng the faces of the hills to stand out bare and barren, justly called the yello,\~ banks. Two miles south of th~ Jenkins' home, the Fox rh,.er came down, lined on either side "·ith a fringe of tim­ ber, a stream of considerable length and carrying a large volume of ,vater. It \V'ill thus be seen that this homestead was situated in the midst of an extensive natural amphitheater, rivers on three sides. and bluffs to the east, to the north. and to the west. These natural boundaries enclosed some of the most productive land in the world. The soil was alluvium so required no fertilizing~ and crops of corn yielding a hundred bush­ els, and of wheat thirty bushels~ to the acre, were not uncommon. Six miles away at the north end oi the sand ridge, on the Des l\Ioines. was located the little village of St. Francisville. I-Iere is the \Volf Cemetery \\"'here so n1any oi our beloved dea

Francisvi11e had been a place of some promise in the early days when an occasional steamboat found its way up that river, and when the building of a canal had been proposed and actually begun. But the canal died in its beginnings, business declined, and the peo­ ple of St. Francisvi11e devotcct themselves chiefly to education, self culture and hospitality. There were no railroads in that country and fe,v any­ ,vhere in the 0 fifties." The l'1ississippi and its tribu­ taries were the great arteries of commerce. The steamboats of that day were gorgeous palaces. Their owners and officers ,vere kings and princes in the monetary and business world. These mighty vessels as they ploughed the "·ater, going up and down, could be distinctly seen, and their triumphant whistles heard at the Jenkins farm. \Vhen the water was high they towered up anll stood· out in the sun seem­ ingly above the land.

Says Bancroft, the projectors declared: '"Other nations employed slaves in their colonies; and slaves cost a great deal, labor with reluc­ tance, and soon perish from hard usage; the Swedish nation is laborious and intelligent, and surely ,ve shall gain more by a free people with wives and children.:,,, Sweden ,vas then one of the most powerful nations of Europe. Gusta,,is kept the enterprise well in mind and vtarmly commended it to the people of Germany only a fe,v days before l1is death in the battle of Lut-­ zen, "in ,vhich Protestantism won a most signal ,·ic­ tory, but its immortal leader \\"as killed.'' Oxensteim, the clistinguished Chancellor of •.\.dolphus, ''took up the idea of the American c1Jlony!I and continued to ear­ nestly promote the enterprise, and t<> him is due the first permanent colonization on the banks of the Dela­ ,vare." The expedition thus encouraged,. sailed from Gottenberg late in 1637, under Peter :\Iinuit, and landed on the Dcla\\·are early in the spring of 1638. It comprised a clergyman and about fifty scttler.:i. They purchased land from the Indians extending along the river as far up as the falls where Trenton is now· situated. Thus N cw Sweden began. Others came in 164r~ and• frGm time to time, although the total number never reached more than one thousand. The settlement prospered under successive Swedish governors, the Indians were treated justly, and there 111 was continual peace. Tl1e colonists were· sober, hon­ est~ industrious, religious. But this portion of .America ,vas claimed by the Dutch, and \\·as known ;is the South River Country, in contradistinction to that of th~ North River at X ew }\msterdarn. Sweden had been unfortunate in her European ,vars-was not able to defend the colony, and as a final result :in ~i>edi­ tion came in o\·erwhelming force under Peter Stuy\·e­ sant. the Dutch Governor at the mouth of the Hudson, which forced the surrender of the Swedes in Septem­ ber, 1655. This changed the government of the col­ ony, but not its population. ..-\gain in 1664, when the English made conquest of New ...-\.msterdam, this Swe­ dish settlement passed under new so,·ereignty, and its people became the loyal and dutiiul supporters oi tl1c Duke of York. and of Robert Carr, Go,·ernor of the South River Country. In 1681 \Villfam Penn received his grant. and 5n 1682 he made his first ,-isjt to Pennsylvania. U'nt:l that time there had been but few ,vhite people, except the Swedes, in all the wide expanse of his new province. -~ter his con1ing. the Swedish settlers continued to be among the best of his colonists, and to merit his warm interest and friendship. He wrote from London in 168.+ to the President oi the Council: 0 Salute me to the Swedes. Captain Cock, Old Peter Cock. and Rambo * * * and their sons:· * * * ·'I must need commend the Swede\; respect to authority, and their kind bel1avior to the English. * * * As they 112 JENKINS FAXILY BooK. are a people proper and strong of ·body, so they have fine children, and almost every house full" * * * 44 I see f e,v young men more sober and industrious." Thus. \\~ith this worthy, religious people for its first citizens, the great common,vealth of Pennsylvania ,vas founded4 A \\Titer upon old Philadelphia in Harper'3 l\fonthly for April, I8j6, says: 'iThere the Swan­ sons. Keens, Bengstens, Kocks, and Rarnbos lived.''. 0 The S,vedes and Friends did not like the Puritans shake the forests with their hymns of lofty ciacP.r, nor din the ears of succeeding generations \\;th. tales of the persecutions from ,\~hich they fled, but they quietly made their lit~e ,rillage (Philadelphia) the only home of religious liberty then in the New \Varid .. " Bancroft estimated . that the descendants of these original settlers amounted to about one in two hun­ dred of the population of our country, and concerning the original colony says :

0 They cherished the calm earnestness of religious feeling: they re\·ered the bonds oi family, and the purity of morals: their children under ev·ery disad­ ,·antage of want of teachers ancI of Swedish books, "·ere well instructed. .A love for Sweden, their dear mother country and the abiding sentiment of loyalty towards its sovereign~ continued to distinguish the lit­ tle band; at Stockholm they remained- for a century the objects of a disinterested and generous regard; affection united them in the New \Vorld, and a part of 113 their descendants still preserve their altars and' the~r dwellings around the graves of their fathers."

of Swedes and Finns, comprising farmers, traders,. mechanics and soldiers." "The New \Vorld received: no better people than the Swedes and Finns on the Dela,vare." .. "It is remarkable that during the ,vhoie period of the Swedish dominion * * * there is no evidence that a single human being lost his life in hostile con­ test."7 "The conduct of the Sweclish colonists toward- •the Indians bordering on their settlement, ·was not only

consonant with the requirements of tmth and justice7 but ·with the dictates of a sound and enlightened policy as ,vas found by happy e.~perience. Their honesty, their kindness,· their friendly deportment, disposed the Indians to peace. * * * The maintenance of such an intercourse so ,von their a:ff ection that they used tc, call the Swedes ··their O\\~ people." "Companius, speaking of the natives, says : 'They are very courteous in their bel1avior and ,fond of oblig­ ing the Swedes. They take great pains to help them, and to prevent any harm happening to them. In this happ): state the colonists found a rich reward for their kind and nobe conduct toward the poor unlettered natives. Instead of a life of tenor and alarm-of war and all its horrors-the honest Swede could eat his bread in peace, and after the toils of the day, lay down his head in quietness, fearless of a midnight attack; undisturbed by dreams of the tomahawk and scalping knife." 115

"While in e.xtent and population. it was the least of any of the colonies; yet in the scope, hoerality and humanity of its design, Ne,v Sweden stood at the head- of the American colonies." \Vith an experience of forty years among white men of such honesty and uprightness, it can _be ,vell understood why William Penn found the Indians so kindly disposed when he arrived, and e.."Cperienced no difficuity in continuing the same policy of justice and honor during his administration.

She ,vas a fine horse woman, who could mount her steed with­ out assistance by a single spring from the ground. John Jenkins was a man of large means in those days, and she presided over his home with becoming hos­ pitality and dignity. The Rush family has been one of the most promi- JENKINS FAMILY Boox. 138

The line of probable ancestry is traced and the names of ancestors given for sixteen generations in England to Simon de Puttcnham, .:~ D. I 199.

The author of that work cites a record of land cxchange

John Putnam and one Skeltons, ,vhich described one hundred acres as having been Hgranted to said John Putnam formerly." That word formerly may cover a good many years. In the history of Danvers, by Hansen, published in 1848, he says: "John Putnam came from Bucking­ hamshire, England, in 1629 \\·ith ·his three sons and o,vned a large portion of North Danvers"-says he owned \Venham woods~ and mentions one Ray as own­ ing land in 1634 near John Putnam. He also gives the inference that in 1632 he ,vas one of the retainers of ·Gov. Endicott. Endicott came to Salem in 1628. Other emigrants came the next year, and it is not improbable that John Putnam and his family were among them.
