General Notes: Husband - Andrew Jenkins

---

He probably came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, from Ireland. In 1800 he removed from there to Lawrence County, being one of the earliest pioneers in that section. He and wife traveled by means of a small boat, carrying with them a handful of domestic utensils and when they landed near what was later called Jenkins' Bridge, they found it necessary to put up a shelter. Very soon a temporary home was made with bushes and sapling poles, which served until a clearing could be completed and a log cabin built. He remained on that farm until he completed clearing it and acquired more and more land until he owned 1,000 acres, including the old Hatchet Tract, of eighty-four acres, which was still in the family many years later. He was a man of great energy and enterprise. Besides being a surveyor he operated a saw and grist-mill and ran a distillery. During the War of 1812 he was a major in one of the regiments, his son Thomas holding the same rank during his service in the Civil War.
