Re: JOE HENRY JINKS

William Robert Franklin Jinks married Mary EstherLee(I was told Mary EstherLee by Pop)Coleman was the Parents of William Robert Franklin(g)Jinks(known as Pop Jinks to family and Uncle Frank to friends and neighbors, the (g) because he did not like being a Junior, if you look for his WWI enlistment card here on Ancestry it shows his name as Wm(William) Robert Franklin Jinks and he signs his legal signature as William Robert Frankling' Jinks. Wm Robert Franklin Jinks III was Pop's oldest son. Joe Henry Jinks was Pop's brother 2 years younger than him( I have a picture of Uncle Joe Henry standing beside a Covered Wagon and a Team of Mules, and he was head and shoulders above the team slmost as tall as the wagon top(BIG man). Joseph Sassers(Cephus) Sullivan married Mary(Polly)Jinks - yes daughter of Adam Jinks, she died in Mississippi, and then he married Matilda Telitha Jinks and Lucinda Rebecca Jinks (younger sister) came to help with all the children and Joseph raped her and she returned to Mississippi to her family and had William Robert Franklin Jinks( She refused more or less to give him the Sullivan name. thereby we go by Jinks now instead of Sullivan. Christopher Columbus was half brother to William Robert Franklin Jinks Sr. and nephew of Lucinda Rebecca Jinks. Adam Jinks and Eliza Eaves were the Jinks girls parents.
the following is link to his (Pop Jinks) enlistment card

After reading over this, I don't think I'm following the relationship.

Who was William Robert Franklin JINKS, Sr. ' father? And Mother?

Is that how they were 1/2 brothers -- through their Mother?

I'm not figuring this out so I wanted your help in getting this straight.

Linda, I noticed your last name is Farrington. Where does your Farrington line come in.I am a Farrington.
Also-Where are you getting your Jinks information from?
On my grandmothers death cert. it says she was born in MS.
I am really confessed. Can you supply me with information on how I can confirm what you are saying. Please write to my email address-- glcolorado@yahoo.com -- I would like to learn more about what you have.
Maybe we can help each other.

It looks like Ziska was born in Texas, her dad in Georgia and her grandfather in France. Both dad and grandad were named William

Re: Jinks Reunion

glcolorado — 2009-09-28 15:12:59Z

I have been told that her family was from France. Don't know what side.

Re: Jinks Reunion

glcolorado — 2009-09-28 15:02:56Z

All we know is that they called him Ino, Not to much to go on at this end! My grandmother was born in MS. My maiden name is Farrington. glcolorado@Yahoo.com
Just getting started on the Jinks side of the family.

Re: Jinks Reunion

glcolorado — 2009-09-28 14:55:12Z

Thanks for your reply! There is a long story behine my line of Jinks! They lived in MS. Then moved to LA. My email address is glcolorado@yahoo.com - Ino got sick and his family came and got him and took him north-where north we don't know, leaving my g-grandmother with two little girls to raise, they moved to Louisiana.One was my grandmother Ziska, she married a Farrington after he died she married a Rucker. If you ever come across these names please let me know. I have hit a brick wall!

Re: Jinks Reunion

jedixon66 — 2009-09-27 17:43:39Z

Sorry I can't be of any help; I've never heard of either of those two names in my research, which has been mostly with the Jinks family that started in NC, then moved to GA, and then into southern Alabama. A large chunk of the Jinks family then moved on to Texas, but I have not researched that branch.

Re: Jinks Reunion

LindaEllisFarrington — 2009-09-27 12:50:22Z

Was her dad William Jincks from France and she lived in Texas

Re: Jinks Reunion

glcolorado — 2009-09-27 02:57:39Z

I had a grandmother named Ziska Jincks/Jinks we are not sure of the spelling. She had a sister names Omie. Do you have any information on these two sisters in you genealogy?

Re: Research

susanfellows71 — 2009-08-14 16:49:42Z

My mothers maiden name was Jinks, form West Bromwich, as far as I can tell there are no jinks' from Birmingham, but it's not that far away!
My grandfather was Harvey Leslie Jinks, b. 1913 known as Leslie; my great grandfather was Harvey Jinks b.1881; my great great grandfather was George Henry Jinks b. 1856 in Tamworth, Warwickshire. I don't know if this is of any help.

Re: James Edward Jinks

perryjenks — 2009-06-30 20:21:06Z

Bill--

James Edward Jenks(also spelled "Jinks") was my grandfather's brother. He caught some ailment and the family sent him to Eureka Springs for a cure. While he was there he met the dau. of the hardware store owner, her name was Margaret Jane Breeding. They married on 24 Dec 1885 and proceeded to have twelve children, one of which was Mable who married Luther Norris and later married Alvin Ledbetter. James and Margaret were in the OK territory for awhile but settled in Benton Co, AR near the town of Gentry in "Coon Hollow". There is a large group of descendants in the NW Arkansas area. I will be glad to trade info.

Jinks/Jenks in Australia

kylienwylie — 2009-05-28 14:26:55Z

I'm looking for information on the family of Herbert John Jinks of Australia (late 1800s-early 1900s). From what I've been told, he was born in Wales, came to Australia via England, worked in Queensland, and came to Victoria where he married Mary Agnes Murphy. I've also been told that he changed his name (from Jinks to Jenks?) as a result of a fight with his brother, so it appears that there was another branch of the family in Australia (probably Queensland).

Re: Linnie Jinks/Jenks of Oglethorpe/Madison Co GA

secretrivertrail — 2009-05-10 15:42:54Z

That's really neat to me because I am named after all of the Cynthia's in the family line, and they probably named them after Linnie's mother. Do you have any info firther back, or whether there were any brothers and sisters for Linnie?

Re: Linnie Jinks/Jenks of Oglethorpe/Madison Co GA

bmontgomery — 2009-05-10 14:23:04Z

Malinda "Linnie" Jinks was the daughter of Abner Jinks and his first wife, Sintha (most likely Cynthia) Anderson. She was born 18 Oct 1807 in Oglethorpe Co., GA and died 24 Aug 1896 in Madison Co., GA.

Bridges Thompson & Linnie Jenks Mulatto grandchildren? William Sidney Thompson

secretrivertrail — 2009-05-10 03:41:09Z

Don't know if I'm spelling that right. Tradition has it that their son William Sidney b.1831 went off to the civil war and never returned. 1860 census shows a William Thompson as the only white person in a household of mullatoes. He does not appear in any later census. This william was 29 in 1860 so it may be the same one. Anyone out there know his fate? Or his descendancy? Also my mom said that she and dad also learned that at some point Linnie and Bridges had some mixed children in their house that they thought they were raising, maybe William's? We don't know, and my Dad didn't document where he got that info, but my mom was adamant that he did. He usually documented everything but he was very ill for the last 15 years of his life.

James married Mary Elizabeth Unknown and had 12 children for some time they lived in Arkansas possibly Eureka Springs area where Mary Elizabeth's father was reportedly a Doctor.

While going through my mom's research I found a page ready for printing on Mabel Mildred Jinks who married Luther Norris and moved to Henderson County, Texas where she taught school at Fairview she was one of the 12 children with information and photos of her done for my mom by Joan Norris Dugan.

My mom was working on a book about the early schools that merged to become Brownsboro ISD.

I am searching for anyone in the Jinks line that may have a copy of the book published in 1965 ROSMAN LAWRENCE FAMILY Embracing the Descendants as far as known of Rosman Lawrence of Middletown, Connecticut and His Descendants of Other Names by Mrs. A. Lawrence Jinks

I found this book on Heritage Quest but pictures I copied were too dark to see. If anyone has a copy and could take digital pictures (this is the best way I have found) or clear copies of pictures in the book please let me know.

My Chase line married Lawrence and Lawrence married Jinks.

I'm looking into my great Grandfather, Harvey Jinks. I know he was a coucillor in West Bromwich in the 1930's, family legend says he was also active in the trade unions. He had an "Outdoor" a kind of off licence, in Railway Street, also in the 1930's. He was injured sometime previously and presumably had been some kind of manual worker.

If anyone has any information that could help I'll be very grateful.

I am a distant relation of this line of Jinkses. James's grandfather John JINKS(1800-1881) was a younger brother of my 3xgreat grandfather Thomas (1787-1869). I was born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and have discovered several lines of descent from Thomas and John's parents, who lived in Polebrook, near Oundle.

renoqueen — 2008-12-03 16:47:34Z

I believe my MORGAN connection comes from Phebe Morgan, the wife of Richard Jinks and mother of Joseph (and many more). I will post my Jinks lineage in a public list and give you access to it with me - perhaps working cooperatively we can bring these branches together!! (Hey, it's not like we have a connection to a family named SMITH is it!!)
I have some pics that were sent to me by another family researcher. Could I email them to your personal email? Not everyone in the photo collage has been identified so perhaps you will see something that looks familiar to you! I don't want to post them publically because they are not mine but I was asked to work on identifying the individuals.

Re: Jinks - Alma (Ellis Co/Navarro Co TX)

vcrilley — 2008-12-03 11:37:11Z

That is very unique and maybe there is a connection somewhere. I've had a hard time connecting back from William Jinks.....

Morgan sounds like maybe a "family name" -- so let's both keep looking and try to figure out where it came from.

Re: Jinks - Alma (Ellis Co/Navarro Co TX)

Jinks family in Canada

renoqueen — 2008-12-02 22:34:00Z

Richard Jinks born 1787 USA, died 1851 Upper Canada
wife PHEBE Morgan born 1785
children:
Emaline, Joseph, Thomas (1808-1881), John Morgan (1814-1891), Elijah (1818-1890), Charlotte, Richard Austen (b.1826) There is another male named Fredrick who may be a son as well.
Richard and family came to Upper Canada sometime after 1800,. probably from the Mohawk Valley of New York.
Seeking proof of any of the facts, family information. I am decended directly from Elijah.

Re: Jinks - Alma (Ellis Co/Navarro Co TX)

vcrilley — 2008-10-19 10:54:48Z

This is so interesting, as I had never heard any details about how the accident happened....and the details about the Colt 44! Obviously your family had a very good source for this.

So nice that we can compare notes and put the story together. I've never located where he was buried.

I've never located a Jinks person who really knew very much about this line, so I'm delighted to be in touch with you.

Your post rang a bell as I was going through dad's notes.

Going through my dad's notes ran across this description
"one of Willis Jinks' sons is the one that was killed by cattle. He was at a roundup and watching cattle and rode down into a gorge or ditch and was knocked off and was gored by one of the cows. He later died of blood poison. He was wearing a colt 44 ath the time."

Blanche Belle Crawford, dies at aged 94

Blanche Bell Crawford (granddaughter of Sallie Jinks Davidson)
Born 23 Oct 1914 Brinkley, AR
Died 29 July 2008 Southaven, MS

I just found out Tuesday morning. I was planning to send her a birthday card and had her on my mind. She always told me that she didn't want an obit put in the paper and I guess she didn't. She said she didn't want the buzzard to circle until it was too late, her words. I know she was planning to be buried in AL where her cousin Betty Jean lives but I don't know if her wishes were honored. Someone planted in her mind that everyone was out to strip her of her property and I was not excluded. She thought I wanted to put her into a nursing home and steal her house. She signed her home over to one of her neighbor's daughter and cousin Betty Jean, four years ago. I just wonder if Betty Jean even knows that half of Blanche's estate was left to her. I don't have an email for Emma Dean...will someone let her know.I grew to love that old lady and it broke my heart when she lost faith in her family.
