Our Jinks family can only be traced back to Georgia to what is now
Taylor County (originally Talbot) around 1839 with William Jinks
We continue to try to discover more about William and Willis Jinks.
The 48 Household number shows that he was living with his son, Willis and Nicey at that time. Since he died within the year he is included in the 1870 Mortality Index.

WILLIAM PATTERSON, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR v. THE REV. WILLIS JENKS ET AL. DEFENDANTS IN ERROR.
It was tried in Milledgeville at May term 1827 and Supreme Court in
1829....which is the above link.
The plaintiff, to sustain his case, gave in evidence a grant from the state
of Georgia to Bazil Jones, *217 for 7160 acres of land, in Franklin county,
on the waters of the
south fork of the Oconee river, since called the Appalachie, bearing date
the 24th day of May
1787, and deduced his title to the disputed premises regularly from the
grantee.
On the part of the defendants, it was contended that this
grant was void.
1. Because the land attempted to be granted was without the
temporary boundary line of
the state, and within the Indian hunting ground.
2. Because the survey wanted the line and station trees
required by law; the surveyor had
omitted to note on his plat the beginning corner; had laid down the water
courses inaccurately;
and had been guilty, as was alleged, of various other acts of fraud,
negligence, irregularity, or
ignorance, in making and platting the survey, prior to the emanation of the
grant.
Evidence was also given on behalf of the plaintiff, to
establish the lines, and to prove the
possession of the defendants within them.
