Biography
James "Jimmy" Jenkins was born about 1736 in Lunenburg Parish, Richmond, Virginia to Mansfield Jenkins and Patience Ford.
He married Martha "Patty" Crask in 1760 in Richmond, and had at least nine children together: Wilson, John, Elias, Samuel, Joseph, Elizabeth, James, Mansfield, and Joshua.
Jimmy passed away in 1790 in Granville County, North Carolina.
Research Notes
Jimmy could not have married a Sarah Patten in 1779, as claimed in "Descendants of William Jenkins," because his wife Martha "Patty" Crask is listed in his will, made in 1789.
