Jemima Washington Hebb - Smith Jenkins and Jemima Hebb

I found a couple of things about Jemima and Smith Jenkins. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/WVBARBOU/2000-12/0976...

If my profile as Jenkins it is from a merged profile, I have seen Jenkins before, but I haven't added him.

William "Billy" Hebb was my 4th Great Grandfather

I've written to Mt Vernon historians to see if this can be cleared up. If and when I receive an answer I will share.

OK..Thanks. According to my research, the Jemima who married Smith Jenkins was 10 years younger than our Jemima. When William made his statements to the court, he noted his family consisted of "myself, my wife, and sons Robert and Reuben." So Jemima was still living then.

Here is the research we did:

Research on family of Smith Jenkins (d. 1815) including 1810 census, Westmoreland Co marriage bonds, wills and published genealogies providing evidence that he was never the husband of Jemima Washington Hebb. Smith was however, the husband of Jemima Washington Jenkins (m. 5 Dec 1792), the daughter of Thomas Washington and Ann Muse. Jemima Washington Jenkins never married William Hebb.
!!!!!! WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE WHO JEMIMA'S PARENTS ARE !!!!!!!!!!!
-She could be a daughter of Samuel (16 Nov 1734-bef 9 Sep 1781) and his first wife Jane Champe who died about 1758, but they are said to have had no surviving issue. She is NOT the daughter of Samuel's son Thomas because he did not have a son named Thomas.
-She could be the daughter of some other Washingtons.
BUT HER PARENTS WERE DEFINITELY NOT THOMAS WASHINGTON AND ANN MUSE....
Do the research!
**********************************
In addition: Thomas Washington who married Muse was the son of EDWARD Washington, no relation to Pres. George Washington. In the 1810 censuses, Smith and wife are shown in VA and William and Jemima are shown in WV. Also, in the census for southwestern PA are William and Samuel Hebb. I believe William had 2 additional sons, William and Samuel.

WOW! Thank you! I used the connections Geni gave me, so that's what my basis is from. I would LOVE to go to the National Archives in D.C. to straighten this snafu. I might have to start making plans for that trip.

I am just so proud to be from them. They make me feel like I can do anything and brought the history of our country closer to my heart. Our struggles today may be different, but still ironically the same.

My mind wandered, sorry, main thing is Thank you for your research. I'm going to use it. 8)

Would you ladies be kind enough to ensure this excellent sourcing information is updated in the profile? You can do that as a text document attachment perhaps so it can be tagged to several profiles, in fact.

I hate Geni and don't know how to post anything. I created a new discussion with the proof you are looking for (official documents not somebody's research and assumptions). Enjoy!

Marilyn, I appreciate all of the time and research that has gone into the genealogy of Jemima Washington. I am a descendant of Fannie Hebb and Joseph Biggs and have followed this for at least 15 years. One question that I have concerns the relationship of the marriage record of Smith Jenkins and Jemima Washington documented in the Virginia, Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia 1649-1800 which shows that the marriage of Smith Jenkins and Jemima Washington was witnessed by Thos. Washington, Ann Washington and Wm. Omohundro. The gravestone of Jemima Washington Hebb married to William Hebb shows Jemima as the daughter of Thomas Washington and Ann Muse. What information do we have that the Thomas Washington and Ann Washington shown in the marriage record are different persons from the Thomas Washington and Ann Muse that are shown on the inscriptions on the gravestone? Appreciate any thoughts you can provide on this question. Also, I have Jemima Washington coming from the Edward Washington line consistent with your recent research. Bill Bake (wbake1@aol.com)
