1. John1 Jenkins Sr.; born before 1794 at WV; Probably born in Harrison Co, WV; married Nancy Jackson, daughter of S. P. Jackson and M. Childers, circa 1814 at WV; died between 1847 and 1848 at Ritchie Co., WV.

Although the Jenkins surname is most common in Cymru (Wales), their is no "J" in the old Welsh alphabet. The name Jenkins is derived from Flemish, the "J" and "kin" being distinctive to Flemish, and was brought to Wales in 1066, when there was a large Flemish "invasion" (migration) in the Cardiff area of Wales (the same time Wlliam the Conquerer invaded England).*

There was some previous usuage of a similar diminutives of John in England and Wales prior to the Flemish invasion. In England, it took the form of the given name 'Jankin' and in Wales of the name 'Siencyn', which later became patronymic surnames.**

However, the "J' and the "kin" are definately derived from the Flemish and probably corrupted any Welsh or English surnames because of the large Flemish influence after 1066.

Wood Co. Land Tax records list a Joseph Jenkins from 1817 to 1820. He is the only Jenkins listed during this period. Is Joseph a possibility as the father of John? He was a road builder; worked on the Staunton Pike (Rt. 47). He and Nancy Jackson appeared on the census of 1820 at Wood Co., WV; Census lists 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-45, and 1 female 16-26. He and Nancy Jackson appeared on the census of 1830 at Wood Co., WV; Listed as Genkins, no other information listed other than the name.

Nancy Jackson was born in 1800 at WV. She was born in 1805 at Harrison Co., WV. She married William Bravo, son of John Bravo and Isabel (--?--), on 15 Apr 1855 at Ritchie Co., WV; William and Nancy both listed as widowed. She died between 1860 and 1870 at Ritchie Co., WV; was listed in the 1860 Census, but not found in the 1870 (assumed dead). There is a Samuel Jackson listed as a Wood Co. land owner from 1809 to 1820.

John married Nancy JACKSON about 1814 in West Virginia. Nancy (daughter of S. P. JACKSON and M. CHILDERS) was born in 1800 in West Virginia; died after 1860. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
