I (Marty Grant) don't know how I'm related to John Jenkins, but I'm sure he is somehow closely related to my ancestor Osborne Jenkins (c1803).
John Jenkins was born November 1851 (per 1900 census), or ca 1853/54 (per 1870 and 1880 census). He was presumably born in Onslow County, North Carolina.
I don't know who John Jenkins's parents are, nor have I found him on the 1860 census. He may have been orphaned or born out of wedlock, and raised by other relatives.
John Jenkins was not found on the 1860 census, at least not in Onslow County.
In 1870, he was living in the Clarissa Rhodes household, as was Henry Jenkins (c1855, son of Thomas Jenkins) who is probably his cousin, and not his brother, as one might assume. Henry did have a brother named John Jenkins, but he was born ca 1860 (per 1870 census).

John Jenkins married Nancy Deal ca 1872/73 in Onslow Co, NC. Her maiden name is proven by her widowed mother residing with them in 1880, and listed as John's "Mother-in-law". Nancy was born April 1854, presumably in Onslow County. I don't know who her father was, but her mother was named "Mary".
John and family were listed on the 1880 census in Stump Sound next door to Henry Jenkins (c1855). Nancy's widowed mother was living with them.

John and Nancy and family were still in Onslow for the 1900 census. Their two oldest sons (Lewis and Henry) were next door with their own families.

I have no additional data on them.
John Jenkins and wife Nancy Deal had at least six children per the 1880 and 1900 census records. I have no additional data on any of them so far, except for the 1900 census.
