John Jenkins' Family
Compiled by Bruce De Larm
Date Last Updated: 12/10/2006
John Jenkins June 25, 1798 - February 20, 1876 (will) (John Jenkins + Deborah Phillips)
Hannah Balcom March 04, 1800 - April 14, 1877 (Isaac Balcom + Sarah Green)
John and Hannah were most likely married near Springfield, VT, where their families resided at the turn of the century (1800). Their only child, John, is listed in most records as being born in Vermont and the family does not appear in Hague (Warren Co., NY) census records until 1840.
Jenkins Point on Lake George just south of what is now Cape Cod Village and Jenkins Brook are most likely named after the family which settled on the strip of land between Dodd Hill Road and Split Rock Road.
Their son John and his wife both died while their children (John L., Alma C., and Hannah L.) were young. John and Hannah took care of the children for a couple years before their ages became a factor. By 1875 the grandchildren were placed with other families.
