INTRODUCTION. 

More  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  I  began  to 
ask  myself  "Who  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 
exceedingly  busy  life,  and  of  many  engrossing  cares. 
The  results  accomplished  have  required  much  time  and 
study.  Great  numbers  of  letters  have  been  written, 
records  and  documents  have  been  examined,  and  hun- 
dreds of  town  and  local  histories  and  published  gene- 
alogies have  been  consulted.  Necessarily  the  work  has 
not  been  continuous.  Other  occupations  prevented  do- 
ing very  much  at  any  one  time.  But  the  purpose  has 
been  always  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  American  history  is  to  the 
genealogist  exceedingly  valuable.

This  work  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  now  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  what  I  have  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  lives  of  my  early  forefathers,  I  have 
become  more  familiar  with  the  settlement  of  the  At- 
lantic coast,  and  with  the  struggles  of  the  hardy  pio- 
neers who  made  the  first  homes  of  white  people  there, 
and  whose  descendants  pressed  westward  from  genera- 
tion to  generation.  My  ancestors  no  longer  seem  to 
me  far  away.  I  know  them.  For  instance,  in  my 
thoughts  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.  All  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  Family  Book.  9 

I  have  been  peculiarly  impressed  with  the  longevity 
of  our  early,  forefathers  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  they  lived !  And  how  much,  too,  of  real  good 
they  did !  Most  of  them  were  Christians, — and  were 
people  of  great  faith.  They  were  not  troubled  with  the 
doubts  and  questions  which  meet  one  everywhere  in 
this  modern  time ;  their  families  were  large,  and  they 
were  reared  in  the  fear  of  God.  And  out  of  that  sim- 
ple, rugged  religious  life  came  the  great  men  of  the 
Revolution.  There  are  twenty-five  times  as  many  peo- 
ple in  our  country  today  as  were  in  the  colonies  Vvhen 
they  declared  their  independence.  If  the  manhood  of 
our  time  were  as  strong,  or  true,  or  righteous  as  then 
we  ought  to  find  twenty-five  each  of  W^shingtons, 
Hamiltons,  Jefifersons,  Franklins,  Adamses,  Morrises, 
and  others  who  were  the  mighty  heroes  of  that  era.  It 
is  a  comfort  and  an  encouragement  to  mankind,  that 
modern  arts,  and  luxurious  living  are  not  necessary  to 
the  production  of  the  best  and  truest  and  greatest  man- 
hood. Rather  it  has  been  from  homes  where  life  was 
plain,  and  where  there  appeared  to  be  a  poverty  of 
pleasures  and  amusements  that  men  have  come  who 
have  been  the  leaders  and  benefactors  of  mankind.  Let 
this  fact,  demonstrated  so  fully  in  our  history,  be  an 
encouragement  to  those  wnose  worldly  circumstances 
are  straightened.    Luxurious  living  and  pleasure  seek-

ing  have  been  the  blight  and  ruin  of  many  noble  souls. 
Character,  not  condition,  measures  success  in  life. 

Every  man  inherits  composite  blood  and  natural  ten- 
dencies which  do  much  to  make  him  what  he  shall 
become.  The  farmer  knows  this  well  as  regards  the 
lower  animals,  and  he  gives  most  careful  attention 
to  the  pedigree  of  his  horses  and  other  stock.  How 
much  more  important  the  genealogy  of  man  which  in- 
volves not  only  physical  being,  but  also  the  higher 
intellectual,  moral  and  Christian  faculties. 

We  seldom  remember  that  our  ancestors  double  with 
each  generation.  Each  of  us  has,  or  had,  two  parents, 
four  grandparents,  eight  great-grandparents,  sixteen 
great-great-grandparents,  and  so  on.  Going  no  farther 
back  than  the  tenth  generation,  beginning  with  our- 
selves as  number  one,  we  find  five  hundred  and  twelve 
ancestors  of  that  degree.  In  the  eleventh  there  are 
one  thousand  and  twenty-four.  In  the  twenty-first  the 
number  is  more  than  one  million  and  in  the  thirty- 
first  more  than  a  thousand  millions  of  ancestors !  Yet 
the  thirty-first  generation  carries  us  back  only  about 
one  thousand  years,  or  a  little  beyond  the  time  of  Wil- 
liam the  Conqueror.  This  seems  astonishing  and  im- 
possible, but  it  is  a  fact.  It  must  also  be  remembered, 
however,  that  as  we  ascend  in  the  family  lines  the 
number  of  ancestors  is  rapidly  reduced  by  intermar- 
riages between  blood  relations.  In  fact,  if  all  hnes 
could  be  traced  out,  the  people  of  each  clan  or  race 
would  all  be  seen  to  be  many-sided  cater  cousins  to 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  11 

each  other,  and  the  whole  social  structure  to  be  a  com- 
plicated mosaic  of  interwoven  genealogies.  Verily, 
"God  hath  made  of  one  blood  all  the  nations  of  the 
earth." 

A  few  persons  are  able  to  trace  out  their  remote 
progenitors  until  they  reach  some  one  who  has  worn 
a  crown ;  and  they  can  show  you  the  line  of  what  they 
call  their  royal  descent.  They  are  not  rare  exceptions 
if  all  the  records  of  every  person  were  known.  They 
are  unusual  in  that  the  facts  have  been  preserved. 
Probably  every  one  living  would  find  a  crowned  head 
in  some  of  his  lines  if  he  could  follow  them  all  far 
enough.  This,  however,  might  not  always  be  a  matter 
of  especial  satisfaction. 

Most  people  over-emphasize  the  father  lines.  Very 
many  of  them  hardly  know  the  maiden  names  of  their 
mothers;  while  ignorance  of  either  name  of  their  ma- 
ternal grandparents  is  very  common.  Each  of  us  is 
as  really  a  descendant  of  his  mother  as  of  his  father ; 
and  her  father  and  mother,  and  her  lines  of  ancestry 
have  contributed  just  as  much  to  make  us  what  we  are, 
as  have  our  ancestors  in  the  father's  line.  It  is  only  a 
matter  of  name.  For  instance,  about  1730,  John  Jen- 
kins married  Rebecca  Meredith,  their  descendants  bear 
the  Jenkins  name  but  are  just  as  much  Meredith  as 
i  Jenkins  through  all  their  generations.  If  they  had 
carried  the  mother's  instead  of  the  father's  name  this 
j  would  be  evident.  In  recognition  of  this  I  have  sought 
to  follow  up  maternal  Hues  as  far  as  possible,  to  the 
\   first  American  immigrant.

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- 
tofore published. 

I  cannot  make  separate  acknowledgement  of  all  the 

sources    from    which    I    have    gathered    information. 

Where  family  genealogies  have  been  published  as  is 

the  case  with  the  Raymonds,  Putnams,  and  others,  they 

have  been  freely  consulted.

JENKINS  GENEALOGY. 


First  Generation 

David  Jenkins — ^Iargaret  Rees  (?). 

David  Jenkins  emigrated  from  Wales  about,  per- 
haps before  1700,  and  settled  in  the  Great  Valley  of 
Chester  Co.,  Pa.  An  old  family  Bible  gives  his  place 
of  settlement  as  "near  Great  Valley  Church."  This  is 
not  definite  as  there  were  four  churches  so  known. 
The  reference  is  supposed  to  have  been  to  St.  Peter's 
Episcopal,  which  was  the  first  of  the  four.  The  early 
Jenkinses  were  usually  Episcopalians,  later  Presby- 
terians. 

A  thorough  investigation  made  by  Gilbert  Cope,  a 

genealogist  of  recognized  standing  at  West  Chester, 

Pa.,  seems  to  identify  this  original  American  ancestor 

with  David  Jenkins  of  Whiteland  township,  a  weaver 

/and  farmer,  whose  estate  was  administered  in  Phila- 

[delphia  under  letters   issued  to  his   son  David,   Oct. 

(IS)

5,  1745.  The  name  of  wife  was  Margaret,  perhaps 
Margaret  Rees.  Administrator's  bond  four  hundred 
pounds  sterling.  One  of  the  appraisers  was  David 
Meredith,  probably  the  father  of  the  wife  of  John 
Jenkins,  next  following.  There  are  no  papers  or  rec- 
ords on  file  giving  names  of  children.  The  old  Bible 
record  referred  to  above  mentions  the  said  John,  but 
says  nothing  as  to  whether  he  had  or  had  not  other 
children.  If  he  has  been  properly  identified  in  David 
of  Whiteland,  then  he  had  also  the  son  David  of  whom 
nothing  more  has  been  discovered  by  the  writer  of  this 
work. 


Second  Generation. 

John  Jenkins — Rebecca  Meredith. 

John  Jenkins  of  Windsor,  son  of  the  first  David, 
born  1711,  died  at  Windsor,  1777.  Married  about 
1730,  Rebecca,  daughter  of  David  Meredith.  (See 
Meredith  and  Rush  ancestors.)  John  Jenkins  settled 
in  1733,  in  the  Conestoga  Valley,  in  Carnarvon  town- 
ship, near  Churchtown,  and  was  the  first  settler  there. 
He  represented  William  Branson,  an  English  gentle- 
man, for  whom  he  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  and 
erected  the  Windsor  Iron  Works,  which  were  among 
the  first  in  Pennsylvania.    They  afterwards  became  the 


W

property  successively  of  his  son  David  Jenkins  and  of 
his  grandson,  Robert  Jenkins.  His  wife,  Rebecca,  died 
Sept.  5,  1 77 1,  aged  64.  Both  John  and  Rebecca  were 
buried  in  the  Episcopal  Churchyard,  Churchtown,  Pa. 
Thev  were  members  and  supporters  of  that  church. 


Children  of  John  and  Rebecca  (Meredith)  Jenkins. 

1  David  Jenkins,  born  July  2,  1731. 

2  John  Jenkins,  born  September  24,  1732. 

3  Isaac   Jenkins,    born   December    12,    1733,    married   Jane 

— '■ ,   a   Quaker  lady   of  Doerun,^  Chester   County, 

Pa. 

4  Margaret  Jenkins,  born  August  14,  1735,  died  October  4, 

1735. 

5  George  Jenkins,  born  December  14,  1736,  married  Miss 

Middleton  and  resided  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.     Probably 
died  before  1774,  leaving  a  daughter,  Mary. 

6  William    Jenkins,    born    September    29,     1738,     married 

Mary,  daughter  of  Rev.  Samuel  Blair.     Had  one  son, 
v/ho  died  on  a  voyage  to  the  West  Indies. 

7  Jenkin  Jenkins,    born   April    24,    1741,    died   August    17, 

1759. 

8  Rebecca  Jenkins,  born  January  13,  1742,  married  David 

or  John  Morgan  of  Morgantown,  Pa.    Had  two  sons 
living  in  1774. 

9  Joseph  Jenkins,  born  January  30,  1745. 

10     Benjamin  Jenkins,  born  September  28,  1747,  died  August 
4,  1759. 


18  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

John  Jenkins  left  a  large  estate.  His  sons,  John 
Isaac  and  Joseph  were  made  executors  of  his  will,  and 
his  "loving  friends  Jacob  Morgan  and  Robert  Armor'* 
were  therein  appointed  "overseers  of  this  my  will  to 
take  care  and  see  it  performed  according  to  my  true 
intent  and  meaning."  The  will  was  dated  in  1774  and 
proved  May  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  money  bequests  to  David,  William  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 :  "Whereas,  I  have  hired  my  negro  man  Quash 
to  my  son  John  for  eleven  years  from  the  first  day  of 
March,  1772,  at  the  end  of  which  time  I  do  allow  my 
said  negro  man  to  be  free  from  serving  any  person  on 
my  account.  And  I  give  my  negro  woman  Cooba  to 
my  daughter  Rebecca.  But  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  will 
that  my  said  negro  woman  be  free,  and  serve  no  per- 
son any  longer  than  till  the  said  forty  pounds  are 
paid." 

The  old  Jenkins  homestead  at  Churchtown  has  been 
in  the  family  through  all  succeeding  generations,  and 


Jenkins  Family  Book,  19 

is  now  owned  by  Miss  Blanche  Nevin,  the  well-known 
sculptor,  a  lineal  descendant  of  said  John  Jenkins,  the 
first.

This  John  Jenkins  was  a  prosperous  yeoman,  both 
he  and  his  wife  inheriting  and  sustaining  the  names 
and  prominence  of  the  two  leading  families  to  which  . 
they  belonged. 

There  is  a  tradition  noted  in  letters  received  by  the 
writer,  that  he  served  in  the  Revolutionary  army  in 
the  batallion  commanded  by  his  brother  David,  but  this 
has  not  been  verified.  His  granddaughter,  the  late  Mar- 
garet (Jenkins)  Hendricks,  used  to  tell  the  writer  of 
how  he  hauled  grain  to  Valley  Forge  to  feed  the  Amer- 
ican army,  and  of  the  trials  and  dangers  which  he  en- 
dured on  these  expeditions. 


Fourth  Generation. 

George  Jenkins — Catherine  Hamilton. 

George  Jenkins,  first  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth 
(Douglas)  Jenkins,  born  Aug.  30,  1776,  married  Cath- 
erine Hamilton,  Aug.,  1800,  (see  Hamilton- Jenkins 
ancestors)  died  in  Chester  Co.,  Pa.,  Aug.  15,  1829. 
Buried  at  Pequea.  Catherine  (Hamilton)  Jenkins  died 
Aug.  28,  1833. 

He  was  a  farmer  and  miller,  having  a  prosperous 
start  in  life,  but  met  financial  reverses.  In  a  letter  to 
the  writer  of  this  genealogy,  from  Martha  Jenkins 
Nevin,  written  in  1884,  after  referring  to  the  original 
Windsor  homestead,  she  says :  "The  adjoining  place 
was  inherited  by  your  grandfather  George  Jenkins, 
son  of  John  Jenkins,  second,  who  built  on  it  a  very 
large  and  costly  mill  at  a  time  of  great  financial  em- 
barrassment, and  it  caused  his  failure,  as  also  the  fail- 
ure of  David  Jenkins,  a  brother  of  my  father,  who  had 
endorsed  for  him,  and  who  lived  on  an  adjoining  farm 
higher  up  the  creek."

Smith.  They  lived  in  Pennsylvania  and  had  two 
daughters,  one  of  whom  died  unmarried;  the  other 
married  a  Mr.  Long  of  Oxford,  Pa.,  but  died  early  in 
life,  leaving  one  daughter,  Mary  Josephine  Long,  who

grew  up  and  married  Taylor  Rogers ;  lived  at  Oxford, 
Pa. ;  died  in  1875,  leaving  two  sons,  one  of  whom  has 
since  died  unmarried;  the  other  son,  Howard  Smith 
Rogers,  a  young  man,  resided,  1899,  in  Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania. 

Margaret  Jenkins,  No.  2  above,  married  first,  in  Pa., 
April  3,  183 1,  Elisha  Wilson,  who  died  Aug.  12,  1834. 
She  came  west  with  her  brother,  and  married,  second, 
at  Fairfield,  Iowa,  May  29,  1844,  William  A.  Hen- 
dricks of  that  place.  He  died  there  about  1855.  She 
afterward  died  at  the  home  of  the  family  of  her 
brother  Robert,  near  Alexandria,  Mo.  Her  body  lies 
in  Wolf  Cemetery,  St.  Francisville,  Mo.  There  were 
no  children  of  either  marriage.  Mr.  Hendricks  left 
a  son,  William  T.,  by  a  first  marriage.  She  resided  at 
Fairfield,  Iowa,  for  many  years,  and  was  a  member  of 
the  Congregational  church  there  until  her  death.  She 
was  a  faithful  Christian,  and  a  true  and  noble  woman. 
Her  disposition  was  cheerful,  and  she  was  always  hope- 
ful and  courageous.  After  the  death  of  Elizabeth,  the 
first  wife  of  her  brother,  Robert,  she  took  his  infant 
son,  the  writer,  then  eight  months  old,  to  her  home  at 
Fairfield,  where  she  watched  over  and  cared  for  him 
during  his  infancy  and  early  childhood.  She  could  not 
have  done  more  than  she  did  for  him  for  a  child  of  her 
own.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  Hendricks,  she  went  with 
the  boy  to  live  with  his  father  in  Missouri. 

The  writer  is  that  boy  and  desires  to  leave  this  record 
of  his  grateful  remembrance  of  her  love  and  care.    Nor

does  he  forget  her  husband,  Mr.  Hendricks.  He  was 
a  genial,  kindly,  helpful  man,  and  a  good  citizen.  A 
native  of  Kentucky,  he  was  an  ardent  Whig,  support- 
ing General  Taylor  in  1848  and  General  Scott  in  1852. 
He  was  a  leader  in  the  local  politics  of  Fairfield.  In 
1852  he  resided  on  a  farm  about  a  mile  east  of  the 
town,  and  there  he  set  up  a  flag  pole  for  me,  from  the 
top  of  which  I  kept  flying  in  all  pleasant  weather  a 
"Scott  and  Graham"  American  flag.  It  was  great  fun 
for  me,  a  six  year  old  child,  to  get  together  a  few 
other  little  fellows,  and  go  marching  around  that  flag, 
shouting  for  Scott.  I  well  remember  how  utterly 
broken  hearted  I  was  when  I  learned  of  his  defeat.

Robert  Jenkins — Elizabeth  Rambo. 

Robert  Jenkins,  eighth  son  of  George  and  Catherine 
(Hamilton)   Jenkins,  died  on  his  farm  near  Alexan-

dria,  Mo.,  and  his  body  was  buried  in  Wolf  Cemetery, 
St.  Francisville,  Mo.  He  married,  first,  in  Chester 
Co.,  Pa.,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Joseph  Rambo  (see 
Rambo  ancestors.)  They  came  West  and  settled  in 
Clark  Co.,  Mo.,  near  the  village  of  Chambersburg,  about 
thirty  miles  west  of  the  Mississippi  river,  where  all  their 
children  were  born.  Elizabeth  (Rambo)  Jenkins  died 
October  1 1,  1846.  Her  body  was  buried  in  the  burying 
ground  near  Chambersburg,  where  it  still  lies.  Robert 
Jenkins  married,  second,  Martha  Schee,  widow  of 
Arnold  Schee  of  Clark  Co.,  Mo.  She  was  daughter 
of  John  McRea.  It  is  said  her  parents  came  from  the 
South.  She  had  one  child  of  her  first  marriage,  George 
Washington  Schee,  who  has  led  a  successful  business 
life.  He  resides  at  Primghar,  Iowa.  Martha  (McRea) 
Jenkins  died  about  1857;  buried  in  Wolf  Cemetery, 
St.  Francisville,  Mo. 

Robert  Jenkins  removed  about  1852,  to  the  eastern 
part  of  Clark  County,  and  purchased  and  settled  upon 
a  farm  four  miles  west  of  Alexandria,  Mo.,  and  nine 
miles  by  the  road  from  Keokuk,  Iowa.  He  was  a 
successful  farmer,  and  left  a  large  estate.  His  indus- 
try and  energy  were  remarkable,  and  his  tireless  ac- 
tivity and  exposure  to  the  elements  brought  on  his 
last  sickness,  from  which  he  would  doubtless  have 
recovered  but  for  his  habit  of  persistent  work,  and  his 
neglect  to  take  proper  precautions  necessary  to  restore 
his  health.  He  had  a  most  unusual  vital  tenacity  and 
lived  and   worked   for   four  years  after  the   disease

which  ended  his  life  had  fastened  itself  upon  him.  He 
had  a  strong  individuality,  and  was  frank,  straight- 
forward and  honest  in  all  his  dealings. 

Elizabeth  (Rambo)  Jenkins,  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  with  her  father,  but  lived  with  the  Russell  family 
in  Chester  County,  Pa.,  for  some  years  previous  to  her 
marriage.  In  a  letter  written  by  her  husband  after  her 
decease,  he  speaks  especially  of  the  Russells  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  William  James  McKim,  and  between  her 
and  Elizabeth  there  was  a  strong  sisterly  affection. 
The  western  country  to  which  Robert  and  Elizabeth 
came  was  new ;  there  was  much  sickness  and  few  doc- 
tors ;  they  were  remote  from  post  offices  and  the  roads 
were  poor.  They  often  referred  to  these  matters  in  their 
letters  to  Mrs.  McKim.  The  burden  of  her  household 
and  family  cares,  and  the  malarial  climate  were  at 
length  too  much  for  even  the  constitution  of  Elizabeth, 
which  was  unusually  strong.  In  the  letter  of  her  hus- 
band, already  mentioned,  he  says :  *Tt  has  been  very 
sickly  in  this  country  this  fall,  we  were  all  sick  at  one 
time,  one  not  able  to  wait  on  another.  It  was  dis- 
tressing to  see  and  hear  of  so  much  sickness."  And 
he  says  of  her,  she  died  "of  congestive  fever."  She 
was  sick  two  weeks."  "*  *  '^  This  was  the  first  severe 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  S3 

sickness  that  she  had  had  since  we  have  been  in  the 
West."  She  belonged  to  a  very  long-hved  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  Presbyterian,  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 
loving  wife,  a  fond  mother,  and  a  sincere  Christian. 
She  was  perfectly  willing  to  try  the  reality  of  another 
world.  It  is  a  great  comfort  to  me  that  she  died  in 
full  faith  of  immortal  glory." 

Pictures  in  those  early  days  were  not  common,  and 
none  of  our  mother  has  come  down  to  us.  Her  daugh- 
ter, Mrs.  David  Nelson  Lapsley  of  Revere,  Mo.,  re- 
members her  well.  Mrs.  Sarah  A.  McKim,  mentioned 
above,  eighty-two  years  old  in  1901,  had  also  a  dis- 
tinct recollection  of  the  appearance  of  her  half-sister, 
Elizabeth.  From  the  information  received  from  these 
sources,  Elizabeth  (Rambo)  Jenkins  may  be  described 
as  a  slender  woman^  rather  below  medium  height, 
with  light  golden  hair  and  a  fair  complexion ;  her  eyes 
were  also  light,  perhaps  blue,  her  features  regular, 
and  her  disposition  quiet,  but  sweet  and  cheerful. 
She  was  an  attractive  young  w^oman  of  rare  good 
sense. 

The  writer  in  company  with  Judge  and  Mrs.  David 
Nelson  Lapsley  and  Dr.  George  F.  Jenkins  of  Keokuk, 
visited  her  grave  Sept.  6,  1902,  and  found  it  and  the 
tombstone   in  good   condition.     We   also   visited   the

same  day  the  farm  where  she  was  Hving  at  the  time  of 
her  death.  It  is  located  on  a  creek  in  the  Fox  river 
bottom,  was  then  owned  by  a  man  named  John  Man^ 
tie.  As  we  walked  about  this  old  Homestead,  the 
thought  of  the  hardships  and  privations  she  endured 
on  the  then  frontier  touched  us  very  deeply.  On  the 
other  hand,  we  remembered,  thankfully,  how  her  little 
flock  of  young  children  had  all  grown  up  and  pros- 
pered ;  hovv^  each  one  had  counted  for  something  on  the 
better  side  of  the  world'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  was,  had  not  been 
lived  in  vain.  What  joy  would  have  been  hers  could 
she  have  known  what  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, 
which  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?  Yea, 
verily,  ''Faith  is  the  victory  which  overcomes  the 
world  r 

The  house  on  the  Jenkins'  farm  near  Alexandria  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  covered  with 
weather  boards. 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  35 

It  was  a  comfortable  hom€.  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  was  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  home  was  not  without  attractions : 
To  the  east,  four  miles,  across  the  flat  bottom,  at  the 
confluence  of  the  Mississippi  and  Des  Moines  rivers^, 
nestled  the  little  town  of  Alexandria,  in  the  "fifties/'' 
a  place  of  very  extensive  business  and  great  ambi- 
tions. Along  its  levee  front,  sweeping  on  toward  the 
Gulf,  rolled  the  great  Father  of  Waters,  a  mile  in  width, 
and  on  its  opposite  side  rose  up  from  the  river's  edge 
the  towering  bluffs  crowned  by  the  city  of  Warsaw, 
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  cov- 
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- 


36  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

do  inhabitants.  One  mile  north  of  the  Jenkins  home, 
the  historic  Des  Moines  wound  its  way,  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  carrying  destruction  and  terror  to  all  the  people 
of  the  plain.  The  Des  Moines  on  its  Iowa  side  was 
lined  with  high  hills  against  the  foot  of  which  its 
waters  beat  continually,  so  that  their  fronts  were  un- 
dermined, and  had  slipped  down  and  been  carried 
away,  leaving  the  faces  of  the  hills  to  stand  out  bare 
and  barren,  justly  called  the  yellow  banks. 

Two  miles  south  of  the  Jenkins'  home,  the  Fox  river 
came  down,  lined  on  either  side  with  a  fringe  of  tim- 
ber, a  stream  of  considerable  length  and  carrying  a 
large  volume  of  water.  It  will  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  of  the  sand  ridge, 
on  the  Des  Moines,  was  located  the  little  village  of 
St.  Francisville.  Here  is  the  Wolf  Cemetery 
where  so  many  of  our  beloved  dead  lie  buried.     St. 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  37 

Francisville  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.  Francisville  devoted  themselves  chiefly  to 
education,  self  culture  and  hospitality. 

There  were  no  railroads  in  that  country  and  few  any- 
where in  the  ''fifties."  The  Mississippi  and  its  tribu- 
taries were  the  great  arteries  of  commerce.  The 
steamboats  of  that  day  were  gorgeous  palaces.  Their 
owners  and  officers  wxre  kings  and  princes  in  the 
monetary  and  business  world.  These  mighty  vessels 
as  they  ploughed  the  water,  going  up  and  down,  could 
be  distinctly  seen,  and  their  triumphant  whistles  heard 
at  the  Jenkins  farm.  When  the  water  was  high  they 
towered  up  and  stood  out  in  the  sun  seem- 
ingly above  the  land.  They  were  majestic;  they  w^ere 
grand ;  they  have  gone. 

Along  the  main  road  the  land  was  for  the  most  part 
fenced  and  under  cultivation  but  on  the  south  there  lay 
miles  .and  miles  of  open  prairie.  Here  in  those  days 
was  an  abundant  free  range,  affording  pasturage  for 
great  numbers  of  cattle  for  more  than  half  the  year. 
This  prairie  also  afforded  the  best  of  wild  hay  to  be 
had  by  all  comers  for  the  harvesting.  There  were 
also  bayous  and  sloughs  and  an  occasional  grove.  It 
was  a  paradise  for  water  fowl,  and  was  frequented  by 


38  Jenkins  Family  Book, 

thousands  upon  thousands  of  wild  geese  and  ducks  in 
their  annual  flights  to  the  North  and  to  the  South. 
There  were  prairie  chickens,  too,  in  such  numbers  that 
their  cooing  in  the  spring  time  sounded  a  continual  roar

young  man  of  much  promise,  a  graduate  of  Parson's 
College,  Fairfield,  Iowa,  and  had  already  entered  upon 
the  study  of  medicine  with  his  father.  He  was  a  born 
patriot,  and  when  the  tocsin  of  war  with  Spain  sounded, 
he  forsook  the  comforts  of  home,  the  pleasures  of  the 
'best  social  life,  ana  the  studies  of  his  chosen  profession, 
and  went  forth  at  the  call  of  his  country.  He  enlisted  in 
the  Fifty-first  Iowa,  which  became  a  part  of  General 
Lee's  Corps  in  Florida.  There  he  contracted  the  fever, 
his  father  went  at  once  to  him.  He  lived  to  reach  his 
home,  and  there  lingered  a  few  days,  and  then,  sur- 
rounded by  those  dear  to  him,  he  passed  on — a  beauti- 
ful young  life,  laid  as  a  willing  sacrifice  upon  the  altar 
of  his  country.

I — Peter  Gunnarson  Rambo. 

Peter  Gunnarson  Rambo,  born  in  Gottenberg,  Swe- 
den, about  1605,  died  in  Philadelphia,  1698.  He  came 
to  America  with  Minuit  in  1638,  settled  on  the  Dela- 
ware, was  an  important  figure  in  the  government  of 
New  Sweden  until  the  conquest  of  that  Province  by 
the  Dutch,  was  one  of  the  two  deputies  sent  to  Peter 
Stuyvesant  to  answer  his  demand  for  surrender.  He 
was  also  an  official  under  the  Dutch  regime,  and  when 
the  colony,  along  with  New  Amsterdam,  passed  to  the 
Duke  of  York,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Council  of 
Captain  Carr,  the  Governor.  In  1674  he  was  a  Justice 
of  the  Peace,  and  one  of  the  first  to  sit  in  the  historic 
Upland  Court.  He  held  other  offices  previous  to,  and 
subsequently  under  William  Penn  when  he  became  the 
Proprietor  of  Pennsylvania.  He  was  friendly  to  and 
popular  with  the  Indians,  and  often  acted  as  official 
interpreter  between  them  and  the  English.  He  and 
his  family  were  well  known  to  William'  Penn,  and  are 
referred  to  in  Penn's  correspondence  in  1684  and  later. 

His  will  is  dated  August  30,  1694,  and  was  proved

in  Philadelphia,  November  19,  1698.  The  name  of  his 
wife  is  not  known.  He  left  a  large  number  of  descend- 
ants. 'Some  of  his  children  were :  Gunnar,  born 
about  1649;  Peter,  Andrew,  John,  born  1661,  and 
Catherine,  who  married  Peter  Matson.  He  owned  dif- 
ferent tracts  of  land  at  different  periods.  He  was  one 
of  the  founders,  and  a  staunch  supporter  of  Christian 
institutions  along*  the  Delaware,  and  was  for  many 
years  a  warden  of  the  celebrated  Old  Swede's  Church 
in  Philadelphia.  The  worship  of  this  church  was 
Episcopalian  in  form,  and  it  later  became  one  of  the 
recognized  members  of  the  local  diocese.

Bible  names  are  exceedingly  common  among  his 
descendants,  and  the  Rambo  name  is  closely  interwoven 
with  church  history  among  that  people  through  suc- 
ceeding generations. 

He  had  a  sister  living  in  Gottenberg  m  1692 — 
(Annals  of  the  Swedes,  40.) 

He  antedated  William  Penn  on  the  Delaware  more 
than  forty  years.  ^

den in  1649,  married  Anna,  daughter  of  Peter  Larson

Cock,  died  in  1724,  buried  in  churchyard  of  Old 
Swede's  Church.  He  was  a  large  land  owner,  was  a 
member  of  the  first  grand  jury  under  William  Penn's 
government,  and  in  1685  was  a  member  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Assemibly ;  was  on  the  first  tax  list  of  Philadel- 
phia.    He  removed  to  Upper  Merion  about  1712. 

Children  : — Peter,  John,  Gunnar,  Monnce,  Gabriel,  Andrew,

(Pa.  Archives  19,  476)  ; 
(Watson's  Annals  2,  298.) 

Peter  Rambo,  son  of  John,  born  1694,  married  Chris- 
tine Keen. 

Cock  Ancestors — Peter  Larson  Cock,  father  of 
Anna,  was  born  in  Sweden  in  161 1,  came  to  New 
Sweden  in  1641,  (Pa.  Mag.  3,  94,  464),  died  1688. 
He  w^as  one  of  the  foremost  men  in  the  settlement, 
held  many  offices,  was  a  large  land  owner.  He  had 
six  sons  and  as  many  daughters.  Among  these  were 
the  said  Anna,  Captain  Lawrence,  Brita,  who  married 
John  Rambo,  brother  of  Gunnar.  The  name  was  also 
spelled  Kock,  and  among  his  very  numerous  descend- 
ants came  to  be  anglicized  into  Cox.  Pa.  Mag.,  vol. 
3,  p.  94;  Plazard's  Annals,  p.  394.  It  is  very  evident 
from  the  history  of  that  early  period,  that  Peter  Gun- 
narson  Rambo  and  Peter  Larson  Cock  were  two  of  the 
principal  and  best  men  in  the  settlement,  and  hence

they  were  often  together  on  official  boards  and  com- 
mittees. 

Ill — Gabriel  Rambo. 

Gabriel  Rambo,  born  in  Philadelphia,  1688,  name  of

tian (daughter)  and  Martha.  These  two  daughters 
married,  respectively,  Jacob  and  Moses  Cox  (broth- 
ers). ^ 

IV — ^Matthias  Rambo — Jane  . 


Matthias  Rambo,  born  1716  in  Upper  Merion,  died 
October  10,  1782.     His  eldest  son  was  Ezekiel. 

The  foregoing  line  of  descent  is  established  by  the 
recitals  in  a  deed  from  Matthias  Rambo  and  Jane,  his 
wife,  to  his  son,  Ezekiel.  This  deed,  dated  January  i, 
1773,  is  of  record  in  Recorder's  office  for  Montgomery 
County  at  Norristown,  in  Book  4,  p.  202.  It  recites

Ezekiel  Rambo,  born  in  Upper  Merion,  married 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Peter  Matson.    Ezekiel  Rambo,

like  his  ancestors,  was  a  good,  substantial,  well-to-do 
citizen.  The  fact  that  land  continued  in  the  family 
through  so  many  generations  indicates  their  prudence 
and  thrift.  He  was  probably  a  member  of  the  Baptist 
Church.  His  body  was  buried  in  the  Baptist  cemetery 
about  ten  miles  from  Christina,  Pa. 

He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution,  a  private  in 
Captain  Amos  Sturges'  Company,  First  Battalion  Phil- 
adelphia Militia  (I  Pa.  Associates  and  Militia,  719). 
Upper  Merion  was  then  in  Philadelphia  County. 
There  were  three  other  Rambos  in  that  company.  The 
Sturges  family  resided  in  the  same  neighborhood. 

Children. 

John,  born  1778.

Matson  Ancestors. 

Peter  Matson,  father  of  Elizabeth,  was  of  the  well  known 
family,  which  gave  name  to  Matson's  Ford  across  the  Schuyl- 
kill. He  died  1778,  leaving  eight  children  and  a  large  estate. 
He  was  probably  descended  from  Peter  Matson,  who  married 
Catherine  Rambo,   (No.  1.) 

In  the  History  of  Montgomery  County,  by  Theodore 
W.  Bean,  p.  126,  it  is  stated :  "Nils  Matson  was  a 
native  of  Sweden  and  very  probably  the  ancestor  of 


106  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

John  Matson,  mentioned  In  the  Hst  in  1693.  The  lat- 
ter is  represented  at  that  date  as  having  eleven  persons 
in  his  family.  One  of  the  same  name,  who  VN^as  prob- 
ably a  son,  is  represented  as  having  moved  into  Upper 
Merion  on  a  large  tract  of  land  adjoining  Lower 
Merion.  As  the  country  became  settled  a  ford  was 
established  here  and  thus  received  the  name  of  Mat- 
son's  Ford.  During  the  Revolution  the  American 
army  crossed  several  times  at  this  place.  It  was  then 
owned  by  Peter  Matson,  and  on  his  death  the  land  was 
divided  among  his  sons,  leaving  each  a  farm." 

VI — Joseph  Rambo — Hui-dah  Morris. 

Joseph  Rambo,  born  July  21,  1779,  died  July  23, 
1850,  buried  in  Reading  cemetery,  married  Huldah

ter, Huldah,  married  John  F.  Boyer  of  Reading,  died 
November  10,  1895,  leaving  a  large  family  of  children 
and  grandchildren.  (2)  William  G.,  died,  unmar- 
ried.    (3)     Elizabeth,  born  February  26,  1813.

As  history  has  been  so  often  silent,  the  following  is 
appended  concerning 

NEW  SWEDEN  AND  ITS  PEOPLE. 

It  has  been  said  that  geographers  and  historians, 
"while  they  had  been  very  particular  in  detailing  the 
circumstances  connected  with  the  arrival  and  settle- 
ment of  the  English  on  the  James  River,  and  of  the 
Pilgrims  in  New  England,  had  scarcely  mentioned 
that  there  was  ever  such  a  colony  as  the  Swedes  on  the 
Delaware." 

There  is  so  much  truth  in  this  charge,  that  people 
generally  regard  William  Penn  and  his  colonists  as 
the  first  settlers  of  Pennsylvania.  But  the  Swedes  had 
been  there  for  forty  years  before  Penn  came.  Gus- 
tavus  Adolphus,  Sweden's  greatest  king,  and  one  of 
the  greatest  of  all  timie  and  all  nations,  cherished  the 
purpose  and  took  measures  to  found  a  colony  in  the 


110  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

New  World.  Under  his  inspiration,  a  commercial 
company  was  incorporated  in  1626,  with  its  head- 
quarters at  Gottenberg.  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  we  shall 
gain  more  by  a  free  people  with  wives  and  children." 

Sweden  was  then  one  of  the  most  powerful  nations 
of  Europe.  Gustavus  kept  the  enterprise  well  in  mind 
and  warmly  commended  it  to  the  people  of  Germany 
only  a  few  days  before  his  death  in  the  battle  of  Lut- 
zen,  ''in  which  Protestantism  won  a  most  signal  vic- 
tory, but  its  immortal  leader  was  killed."  Oxensteirn, 
the  distinguished  Chancellor  of  Adolphus,  "took  up 
the  idea  of  the  American  colony,  and  continued  to  ear- 
nestly promote  the  enterprise,  and  to  him  is  due  the 
first  permanent  colonization  on  the  banks  of  the  Dela- 
w^are."  The  expedition  thus  encouraged,  sailed  from 
Gottenberg  late  in  1637,  under  Peter  Minuit,  and 
landed  on  the  Delaware  early  in  the  spring  of  1638. 
It  comprised  a  clergyman  and  about  fifty  settlers. 
They  purchased  land  from  the  Indians  extending 
along  the  river  as  far  up  as  the  falls  where  Trenton 
is  now  situated.  Thus  New  Sweden  began.  Others 
came  in  1641,  and  from  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

was  continual  peace.  The  colonists  were  sober,  hon- 
est, industrious,  religious. 

But  this  portion  of  America  was  claimed  by 
the  Dutch,  and  was  known  as  the  South  River 
Country,  in  contradistinction  to  that  of  the 
North  River  at  New  Amisterdam.  Sweden  had 
been  unfortunate  in  her  European  wars — Vv^as  not  able 
to  defend  the  colony,  and  as  a  final  result  an  expedi- 
tion came  in  overwhelming  force  under  Peter  Stuyve- 
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.  Again  in  1664,  when  the 
English  made  conquest  of  New  Amsterdam,  this  Swe- 
dish settlement  passed  under  new  sovereignty,  and  its 
people  became  the  loyal  and  dutiful  supporters  of  the 
Duke  of  York,  and  of  Robert  Carr,  Governor  of  the 
South  River  Country. 

In  168 1  William  Penn  received  his  grant,  and  in 
1682  he  made  his  first  visit  to  Pennsylvania.  Until 
that  time  there  had  been  but  few  white  people,  except 
the  Swedes,  in  all  the  Vv^ide  expanse  of  his  new  province. 
After  his  coming,  the  Swedish  settlers  continued  to  be 
among  the  best  of  his  colonists,  and  to  merit  his  warm 
interesf  and  friendship.  He  wrote  from  London  in 
1684  to  the  President  of  the  Council :  "Salute  me  to 
the  Swedes,  Captain  Cock,  Old  Peter  Cock,  and 
Rambo  *  *  -^  and  their  sons."  *  h<  *  ^'j  i^iust 
need  commend  the  Swede's  respect  to  authority,  and 
their  kind  behavior  to  the  English.     *  *  *     As  they

are  a  people  proper  and  strong  of  body,  so  they  have 
fine  children,  and  almost  every  house  full."  *  *  * 
''I  see  few  young  men  more  sober  and  industrious." 

Thus,  with  this  worthy,  religious  people  for  its  first 
citizens,  the  great  commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  was 
founded.  A  writer  upon  old  Philadelphia  in  Harper's 
Monthly  for  April,  1876,  says :  ''There  the  Swan- 
sons,  Keens,  Bengstens,  Kocks,  and  Rambos  lived."_ 
''The  Swedes  and  Friends  did  not  like  the  Puritans 
shake  the  forests  with  their  hymns  of  lofty  cheer,  nor 
din  the  ears  of  succeeding  generations  with  tales  of  the 
persecutions  from  which  they  fled,  but  they  quietly 
made  their  little  village  (Philadelphia)  the  only  home 
of  religious  liberty  then  in  the  New  V/orld." 

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  orisfinal  colonv  savs :

''They  cherished  the  calm  earnestness  of  religious 
feeling;  they  revered  the  bonds  of  family,  and  the 
purity  of  morals ;  their  children  under  every  disad- 
vantage of  v.^ant  of  teachers  and  of  Swedish  books, 
were  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; 
aiiection  united  them  in  the  New  World,  and  a  part  of

their  descendants  still  preserve  their  altars  and  their 
dwellings  around  the  graves  of  their  fathers."

March  30,  1^3,  there  was  dedicated  in  the  city  of 
Wilmington,  Del.,  a  granite  monument  to  mark  the. 
first  permanent  landing  place  on  the  Delaware  of  the 
Swedes  who  came  with  Minuit.  The  stone  bears  the 
following  inscription :  "This  stone  is  a  portion  of  the 
rocks  on  which  the  first  Swedish  colonists  in  America 
landed  March  29,  1638.  On  this  spot  stood  Fort 
Christiana.  Here  were  held  the  first  civil  court,  and 
in  the  chapel  of  the  fort  the  Swedes  celebrated  the 
Christian  v/orship  in  the  New  World.  Erected  by  the 
Delaware  Society  of  Colonial  Dames  March  29,  1903." 
The  dedication  services  were  held  on  the  30th  because 
the  29th  was  Sunday.  Full  accounts  were  published 
in  the  Wilmington  Morning  News.  This  landing 
place  is  located  in  the  city  of  Wilmington,  and  the  pre- 
cise date  of  the  great  historic  event  was  only  recently 
discovered  in  an  old  document  in  Sweden.  Here  was 
the  first  beginning  of  the  three  States  of  Pennsylva- 
nia, Delaware  and  New  Jersey.  The  scholarly  ad- 
dress of  the  occasion  was  made  by  the  Chief  Justice 
of  the  Deleware  Supreme  Court,  Charles  B.  Lore. 
Among  other  things,  he  said : 

"The  first  colonists  in  1638  consisted  almost  entirely 


114  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

of  Swedes  and  Finns,  comprising  farmers,  traders, 
mechanics  and  soldiers." 

"The  New  World  received  no  better  people  than  the 
Swedes  and  Finns  on  the  Delaware." 

"It  is  remarkable  that  during  the  whole  period  of 
the  Swedish  dominion  *  ^  *  there  is  no  evidence 
that  a  single  human  being  lost  his  life  in  hostile  con- 
test." 

"The  conduct  of  the  Swedish  colonists  toward  the 
Indians  bordering  on  their  settlement,  was  not  only 
consonant  with  the  requirements  of  truth  and  justice, 
but  with  the  dictates  of  a  sound  and  enlightened  policy 
as  was  found  by  happy  experience.  Their  honesty, 
their  kindness,  their  friendly  deportment,  disposed  the 
Indians  to  peace.  *  *  *  The  maintenance  of  such 
an  intercourse  so  won  their  affection  that  they  used  to 
call  the  Swedes  "their  ow^n  people." 

"Companius,  speaking  of  the  natives,  says :  'They 
are  very  courteous  in  their  behavior  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." 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  115 

**While  in  extent  and  population  it  was  the  least  of 
any  of  the  colonies;  yet  in  the  seope,  liberality  and 
humanity  of  its-  design,  New  Sweden  stood  at  the 
head  of  the  American  colonies." 

With  an  experience  of  forty  years  among  white 
men  of  such  honesty  and  uprightness,  it  can  be  well 
understood  why  William  Penn  found  the  Indians  so 
kindly  disposed  when  he  arrived,  and  experienced  no 
difficulty  in  continuing  the  same  policy  of  justice  and 
honor  during  his  administration. 

Morris  Ancestors. 

I — Thomas  Morris — Janet  . 

Thomas  Morris,  first  settled  in  Byberry  within  the

Nicholas  More  105  acres  in  Moreland  and  removed 
there.  In  the  deed  he  is  designated  as  of  Philadelphia 
County.  In  1721  he  removed  to  Hilltovvu,  Bucks 
County,  Pa.,  where  he  bought  300  acres.  In  his  will, 
dated  August  25,  1743,  he  says  he  is  "aged  and  weak 
in  body."     He  died  1747.     His  v/ife,  Janet,  survived

A  dread  amen  to  truths  they  published  there."

David  died  in  1754.  She  died  Jan.  14,  1770,  aged 
about  eighty-six,  and  leaving  about  one  hundred 
descendants.  There  is  much  uncertainty  as  to  the  age 
of  Sarah  Meredith.  The  Pennsylvania  Chronicle  of 
Jan.  29,  1770,  in  announcing  her  death  stated  that  she 
was  "aged  90  years."  An  old  family  record  states  she 
was  "the  first  female  child  of  English  parentage  born, 
in  Philadelphia."    These  statements  may  be  erroneous..

great-grandfather.  See  his  record,  ante  p.  16  Jen-

Jenkins  Nevin,  late  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  as  a  woman  of 
high  spirit,  with  all  the  graces  and  accomplishments 
that  belonged  to  the  typical  colonial  dame.  She  was 
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.

career,  both  civil  and  military.  He  was  a  soldier  in

Massachusetts.  The  garrison  only  numbered  twenty-

whelming French  force  sent  from  Crown  Point.  The 
place  was  captured  and  young  Simonds  taken  prisoner 
and  carried  to  Canada,  where  he  was  kept  for  a  year. 
Williamstown,  Mass.,  now  covers  the  site  of  the  old 
fort.  Simonds  afterwards,  about  1750,  purchased  part 
of  the  ground  included  in  the  fortification  and  built  his 
home  and  lived  there  the  rest  of  his  life,  except  when 
in  active  service  during  the  Revolution.  He  com- 
manded a  regiment  of  Berkshire  MiHtia  in  the  War

for  Independence  and  fought  in  the  battle  of  Benning- 
ton and  many  others. 

After  the  war,  during  the  remainder  of  his  Hfe  he 
was  one  of  the  most  useful  and  influential  citizens  of 
William stown.     Both  his  wives  are  buried  there.

(See  History  of  the  Putnam  Family,  by  Eben  Put- 
nam, 1891.) 

The  ''History  of'  the  Putnam  Family''  contains  a 
history  of  the  family  in  England  and  America,  and  a 
chart  showing  the  actual  and  supposed  ancestors  of 
John  Putnam  of  Salem,  mow  Danvers,  M'ass.  The 
line  of  probable  ancestry  is  traced  and  the  names  of 
ancestors  given  for  sixteen  generations  in  England'  to 
Simon  de  Puttenham,  A.  D.  1199.  It  is  not  proposed 
here  to  outline  the  details  of  this  English  ancestry. 
Parties  interested  are  referred  to  the  work  mentioned. 
The  history  indicates  that  the  family  there  was  import- 
ant, worthy  and  usully  in  well-to-do  circumstances. 
Some  members  attained  knighthood. 

The  American  descendants  of  John  Putnam  have 
been  very  numerous.  The  most  distinguished  were 
Maj.  General  Israel  Putnam  and  Maj.  General  Rufus 
Putnam  of  Revolutionary  service.  This  brief  sketch 
begins  with 


't>' 


I — John  Putnam — Priscilla  Gould. 

John  Putnam  of  Ashton  Abbotts,  Bucks  County, 
England;  born  there  about  1580,  died,  Salem,  Mass., 
Dec.  30,  1662,  married  Priscilla,  probably  Gould,  in 
England.  Emigrated  and  settled  at  Salem.  The  pre- 
cise year  of  his  emigration  is  an  unsettled  point.  In 
the  Putnam  family  history,  it  is  said  that  tradition  is 
responsible  for  the  date,  1634.  The  author  of  that 
work  cites  a  record  of  land  exchanged  in  1641  between 


168  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

John  Putnam  and  one  Skeltons,  which  described  one 
hundred  acres  as  having  been  "granted  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  with  his  three  sons  and 
owned  a  large  portion  of  North  Danvers" — says  he 
oiwned  Wenham  woods,  and  mentions  one  Ray  as  own- 
ing land  in  1634  near  John  Putnam.  He  also  gives 
the  inference  that  in  1632  he  was  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. 

Children  of  John  and   Priscilla   Putnam.

LOGAN    MEMORANDA. 


Joseph  Logan,  the  first  known  American  ancestor, 
is  located  as  a  resident  of  Birmingham  Township, 
Chester  County,  Pennsylvania,  in  1749.  He  was  then 
on  the  tax  list.  He  may  have  been  there  sometime 
before,  or  have  lived  previously  in  New  Castle  County, 
now  in  the  state  of  Delaware.  His  father  was  prob- 
ably the  emigrant,  but  his  name  and  time  of  arrival 
have  not  been  discovered.  Originally  Scotch,  always 
Protestant,  the  Logan  ancestors  passed  over  into  Ire- 
land, and  later  fell  in  with  the  Scotch-Irish  emigra- 
tion, which  added  so  much  to  the  robust  and  worthy 
citizenship  of  Pennsylvania.

Logan-Harry  Note. 
Mr.  Gilbert  Cope  of  West  Chester,  Pennsylvania, 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  201 

has  written  the  genealogy  of  Mary  Harry.     The  out- 
line is  as  follows : 

I — Hugh  Harris,  or  Harry — ^Elizabeth  Brinton, 

n — Hugh  Harry — Elizabeth  Wickersham. 

in — Benjamin  Harry — Mary  Cloud. 

IV — ^Mary  Harry — Joseph  Logan.     No.  II.  above. 

I  insert  memoranda  from  Mr.  Cope,  as  follows: 

Among  the  passengers  on  the  "Vine  of  Liverpool'/'" 
which  arrived  at  Philadelphia,  7  mo.  17,  1684,  were 
''From  Macchinleth  in  Montgomeryshire,  Hugh  Har- 
ris and  Daniel  Harris." 

Hugh  Harris  and  Elizabeth  Brinton,  daughter  of 
William  and  Ann  Brinton,  of  Birmingham,  declared 
their  intentions  of  marriage  at  Chichester  Meeting  ist 
mo.  1st,  1685-6,  and  again  2d  mo.  12th,  1686,  and  were 
doubtless  married  soon  after  the  last  date.  He  was  a 
weaver  and  settled  in  Birmingham  Township,  Chester 
County,  on  land  coonveyed  to  him  by  his  father-in-law, 
where  he  died  in  1708. 

The  will  of  Hugh  Harris,  of  "Brumingham,  wever, 
being  sick,"  &c.,  was  dated  i  mo.  2^,  1708,  and  proven 
Sept.  28,  1708.  He  directed  his  wife  and  executrix, 
Elizabeth  Harris,  to  sell  the  plantation  and  pay  £5  to 
each  of  the  children  when  of  age.  To  his  son  Evan 
he  gave  the  "waving  Loom  and  Gares  thereunto  be- 


^03  Jenkins  Family  Book. 

longing."  His  children  as  named  were  Evan,  Wil- 
liam, Hugh,  John,  Elizabeth,  Ann,  Jane,  Lois  and 
Olive. 

It  is  presumed  that  Hugh  Harris,  or  Harry,  as  the 
name  has  been  written  by  later  generations,  was  a 
follower  of  George  Keith,  who  created  a  schism  in  the 
Society  of  Friends  about  1692,  but  some  of  the  chil- 
dren afterward  joined  with  Friends. 

Hugh  Harry  of  Kennet  Township,  Chester  County, 
and  Elizabeth  Wickersham,  of  the  same  place,  were 
married  i  mo.  4,  1730,  at  Kennet  Meeting.  By  deed 
of  April  10,  1728,  Hugh  Harry,  of  Kennet,  purchased 
from  Joseph  Taylor  150  acres  of  land  in  what  was  then 
Kennet,  afterward  Pennsbury  and  now  Pocopson 
Township,  for  £75. 

The  will  of  Hugh  Harry,  of  Kennet,  is  dated  3  mo. 
29,  1760,  and  proven  June  24,  1760.  After  providing 
for  Elizabeth  his  wife  he  gives  to  son  James  10  acres 
of  land  to  be  surveyed  off  the  plantation ;  to  daughter 
Elizabeth  Harry  £20  **at  her  first  marriage ;"  to  sons 
Stephen,  Jesse,  Benjamin,  Nathan  and  Thomas  £5 
each.  The  three  younger  children,  Jesse,  Benjamin  and 
Nathan  to  be  put  to  trades  at  16.  Residue  of  estate, 
real  and  personal,  to  son  Evan  who  was  also  executor. 

Benjamin  Harry  and  wife,  Mary  (Cloud),  were  dis- 
owned by  Kennet  Monthly  Meeting  of  Friends,  in 
1768,  for  marriage  by  a  "priest"  as  they  termed  min- 
isters of  other  denominations. 


Jenkins  Family  Book.  203 

They  had  three  children,  Stephen,  Jesse  and  Mary, 
of  whom  the  last  named  married  Joseph  Logan. 

The  genealogy  of  the  Bailey  family  shows  the  Cloud- 
Baily  lines  as  follows  : 

I — Joel  Baily — x\nn  Short,  married  in  1687. 

II — Jeremiah  Cloud — Ann  Baily. 

Ill — William  Cloud — Mary  Pierce.

Logan-Pyle  Note. 

Mr.  Gilbert  Cope,  before  quoted,  writes : 

"Robert,  Nicholas  and  Ralph  Pyle,  or  Pile  as  some 
of  them  wrote  it,  came  from  Wiltshire,  England,  I 
believe  in  1683.  They  were  doubtless  sons  of  Robert 
Pyle  of  Stanton  Barnard  in  Wilts.  Robert  was  mar- 
ried in  England  but  Nicholas  married  here.  These 
two  were  Friends  while  Ralph  was  an  Episcopalian, 
and  all  were  at  times  members  of  the  Provincial  As- 
sembly. Ralph  settled  in  Concord  Township,  Chester 
(now  Delaware)  County  and  died  in  1741,  leaving  a 
son  Wdlliam.  The  latter  married  Betty  Chads  and 
died  in  Birmingham  Township,  June  i,  1746,  leaving 
children,  Ralph,  Joseph,  John,  William,  Elinor,  Mary 
and  Sarah.  Of  these  Joseph  inherited  350  acres  of 
land  in  West  Marlborough,  married  Ruth  Hayes  and 
died  in  1793,  leaving  children,  Abner,  Alice,  Betty, 
Ruth,  Mary,  Jacob,  Jane,  Sarah  and  Joseph.  Abner 
died  July,  1793,  a  few  months  after  his  father,  leav-

ing  widow  Mary  and  children,  Jehu,  Hannah,  Eli, 
Jonathan  and  Abner.  The  records  of  Orphans'  Court

Marlborough,  though  Hannah  Logan  is  said  to  have 
been  born  in  West  Marlborough."
