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

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.
12 Jenkins Family Book.
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.

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

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

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

7 Elizabeth Jenkins, born November 15, 1787, married
Isaac McCalmont, died in Chester County. Left a '
family of two sons and seven daughters, some of
whom were recently still residing on the family
homestead near Mast P. O. in the Pequea Valley.
There was one daughter named Mary D. and one son
Levi.
8 Hannah Jenkins, born February 15, 1790, died August
11, 1795.
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."

Elizabeth Jenkins, No. i above, married William
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.

Buried at Fairfield.
Fifth Generation.
Robert Jenkins — Elizabeth Rambo.
Robert Jenkins, eighth son of George and Catherine
(Hamilton) Jenkins, died on his farm near Alexan-
Jenkins Family Book. 31
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
33 Jenkins Family Book.
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

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
and their flight at times would almost darken the sun
and shake the earth. It was a place to make glad the
heart of the farmer as well as of the hunter and the
fisherman.

one of the Vice-Presidents of the Association.
George Van Wagenen Jenkins, the only son, was a
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.

ard's Annals 447, 463.
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. ^
n — ^GuNNAR Rambo — Anna Cock.
Gunnar Rambo, born on the Delaware in New Swe-
den in 1649, married Anna, daughter of Peter Larson
Jenkins Family Book. 103
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,
Matthias, Elias.
(Pa. Mag. 2, 226, 341 ; 3, 94; 8, 96) ;
(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
104 Jenkins Family Book.
they were often together on official boards and com-
mittees.
Ill — Gabriel Rambo.
Gabriel Rambo, born in Philadelphia, 1688, name of
wife not known. He lived in Upper Merion.
Left children : Matthias, Gabriel, Andrew, Chris-
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
that Gunnar Rambo, grandfather of said Matthias,
granted and sold to his son, Gabriel, ''father of said
Matthias," certain lands, and that these are now in
consideration of good willand parental affection con-
veyed to their son, Ezekiel.
V. — Ezekiel Rambo — Elizabeth Matson.
Ezekiel Rambo, born in Upper Merion, married
Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Matson. Ezekiel Rambo,
Jenkins Family Book. 105
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.
Joseph, born July, 21, 1779.
Nathan, born 1781.
Anna, born 1783.'
Elizabeth, born 1785.
Ezekiel.
Peter.
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
Morris, daughter of William Morris. The Morrises
were English Quakers (see IMorris ancestors). He
was by trade a blacksmith. Children of this marriage :
(i) Morris, born Decemiber 14, 1809, who resided at
Reading, Pa., most of his life, died in New York City,
July 29, 1894, leaving many descendants. His daugh-
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.
Huldah (Morris) Rambo, died in Philadelphia,

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
113 Jenkins Family Book.
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
Jenkins Family Book. 113
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.

Leacock Township.
In 1777 nine battalions were organized and embodied
in Lancaster County. Every one of them performed a
tour of duty which lasted about three months. They
were not, however, called out at one and the same

John Rush commanded a troop of horse in Crom-
well's army. At the close of the war he married Su-

She was born about 1627. He embraced the princi-
ples of tho Quakers in 1660 and came to Pennsylvania
in, or before, 1683, with seven children and several
grandchildren. Settled at Byberry, now within the
limits of Philadelphia. In 1691 he and his whole fam-
ily became Keithians, and in 1697 most of them became
Bapi:ists. He died at Byberry in f699. The record
of his children in his own handwriting was in posses-
sion of Dr. Benjamin Rush in 1800. His sword and
watch are now in the old State House in Philadelphia.

Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, where
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..

adelphia now stands (her maiden name was Rush),
and there she lived until she arrived to woman's state
w^hen she was married to David Meredith, and soon
after settled in the Great Valley, Chester County, about
28 miles from Philadelphia^ then the western-most set-
tlement in the Province, being six miles beyond any
neighbors, except Indians, who were very numerous,
kind and inoffensive. * * * She was mother of 11
children, grandmother of 66 and great-grandmother of

IV — Rebecca Meredith — ^John Jenkins.
Rebecca Meredith, daughter of David, married about
1730 John Jenkins of Windsor. He was -our great-
great-grandfather. See his record, ante p. 16 Jen-
kins Genealogy. Rebecca (Meredith) Jenkins is de-
scribed in letters from her descendant, Mrs. Martha
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.
The Rush famil}^ has been one of the most promi-
Jenkins Family Book. 133
nent in the history of Philadelphia. Its most distin-
guished member was Dr. Benjamin Rush, born 1741,
died 18 13, physician, patriot and statesman. He was a
signer of the Declaration of Independence, exceedingly
active in public life, an ideal citizen, and withal achiev-
ing and holding a place among the foremost doctors of
medicine that America has ever produced. From him
Rush Medical College of Chicago has its name. His
relationship to our family is shown as follows :

of the ground included in the fortification and built his
home and lived there the rest of his life, except when

(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.
Elizabeth, Thomas, Nathaniel, Sara, Phebe and John, all
born in England before 1627.

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.

Ill — William Cloud — Mary Pierce.
IV — ^Mary Cloui> — ^Benjamin Harry, parents of
Mary, who married Joseph Logan 11.
Ill — William Logan — Hannah Pyle.

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-

been born in West Marlborough."
