I (Marty Grant) don't know how I'm related to Milly Jenkins, but I'm sure she is somehow closely related to my ancestor Osborne Jenkins (c1803).
First of all, I don't know if Milly was a widow or a single mother. Widow seems more likely based on the scant evidence available.
Milly was born ca 1819/20 (per 1850 census), presumably in Onslow County. I don't know her maiden name, but she married a Mr. Jenkins ca 1840-44 in Onslow Co, NC. I didn't find a marriage record in that time-frame that could be for this couple, so I have no idea who her husband might have been.
Mr. Jenkins apparently died sometime just before 1850, and presumably in Onslow County.
Milly and her children were listed in Stump Sound District in Onslow County, NC on the 1850 census. They were near most of the other Jenkins families.

Sometime in the 1850's, widow Milly Jenkins married James H. Canady in Onslow County. I did not find a marriage record for them. He had been previously married (to Mary ---), and in 1850 they were living next door to Milly Jenkins. James and his first wife had 4 children with them in 1850.
They were listed on the 1860 census in Stump Sound Township.

They were still in Stump Sound for the 1870 census, though by then James H. Canady had died, perhaps due to the Civil War. None of her Jenkins children were still at home in 1870, though her daughter Susan Jenkins Canady (now also widowed) was living next door.

She was still in Stump Sound for the 1880 census. This time she was living with her daughter Susan, who had married again by then.

I have no additional data on them.
Milly (---) Jenkins had 4 Jenkins children per the 1850 and 1860 census, and other children with her second husband James H. Canady. I don't have much additional data on any of her children so far.
