I (Marty Grant) don't know how I'm related to George W. Jenkins, but I'm sure he is somehow related to my ancestor Osborne Jenkins (c1803).
George W. Jenkins was born ca 1815/16 (per 1850 and 1860 census). He was presumably born in Onslow County, in the area that later became Stump Sound Township. I don't know what his middle initial of "W" stands for, though "Washington" would be a good guess.
George is a proven son of James Jenkins (c1780) and Nancy --- as named in James' 1851 Will.
George was apparently home with his parents for the 1820 census, aged "under 10" (born ca 1810/20), and apparently home with them in 1830, aged 10-14 (born ca 1815/20).
George W. Jenkins married Mary --- before ca 1838 in Onslow Co, NC. I didn't find a marriage record for them, and so far, I have no clues as to her maiden name.
They were listed on the 1840 census in Onslow Co, NC, though not near any other Jenkins households. They were listed between the households of Charles Edens and James Hobbs.

On 27 Feb 1849 Burgess Williams deeded something to George W. Jenkins. I don't have the details of this deed yet. (Onslow Co, NC Deed Book 26 page 159)
The family was listed in Stump Sound District in Onslow County, NC on the 1850 census just a few houses from his parents, and only 2 from his brother John A. Jenkins (c1817), and also only 2 houses from an apparent widow, or single person Mary Jenkins (c1800).

There are three Estate files at the North Carolina Archives in the Loose Estates for Onslow County for a George, or G. W. Jenkins. I have not looked at these to see which of them belong to this George, but one of more of them surely are his. One was dated 1866 for George W. Jenkins, the next 1867 for G. W. Jenkins, and the next was dated 1871 for George Jenkins widow Mary. This last one is certainly this same George, but I think he was dead well before 1870, so the 1866 or 1867 one could also be his. There was also another one dated 1878 for George W. Jenkins. I'll have to examine all of these to see which is which.
In any event, George W. Jenkins was dead before 1870, and his wife Mary was either dead also or remarried, or else I just didn't find her on the 1870 census. I did find a few of their children in Onslow on the 1870 census, but no sign of Mary.
George and Mary (---) Jenkins had at least 9 children per the 1850 and 1860 census. I don't have much additional data on them so far. See the Register Report below for what little data I have on them.
