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.

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.
