Washington Gardner The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago and New York, 1913, pp. 952-953 GEORGE W. JENKINS. Farming, with all its branches, has been considered a good line of business since the beginning of the world, but within the past quarter of a century it has been developed in a remarkable degree, and at this time offers a splendid field for the man of energy, perseverance and ability. In this class stands George W. Jenkins, of Clarendon township, a man who has been in a remarkable degree the architect of his own fortunes, and who owes his present success in life entirely to his own efforts. Mr. Jenkins was born in New York, August 17, 1851, and is a son of Alfred and Mary A. (Lillie) Jenkins, natives of New York. The Jenkins family originated in Wales, from which country three brothers, John, James and William Jenkins, came to the United States during early colonial days, and settled in Chautauqua county, New York. The grandfather of George W. Jenkins, Joseph Jenkins, of New York, served as a soldier during the War of 1812-14, and during his later years came to Clarendon township, Calhoun county, Michigan. where he and his wife, Roby (Simmons) Jenkins, spent the remainder of their days. On the maternal side, George W. Jenkins is descended from Adam Lillie, a native of Germany and common laborer, who emigrated to the United States and spent the rest of his life in New York. Alfred Jenkins was born in 1817, in New York, and came to Michigan in 1852, settling in Clarendon township, where he purchased a farm of forty acres. This wild land he cleared from the brush and timber, and erected a log house, in which the family resided for twenty years. He died in 1905, on the old homestead, having been the father of five children, of whom three are living and George W. is the eldest of these. He and his wife, who was born in New York in 1823, were good Christian people and faithful members of the Disciples church, and in his political views Mr. Jenkins was a Republican. After completing his course in the district schools of Clarendon township, George W. Jenkins entered Holbrook Academy, Lebanon, Ohio, and there spent two years. On graduating from that institution he began teaching school, and so continued for some five years, but eventually removed to Nebraska, where he took up a homestead, and there remained eight years in farming and stock raising. Selling his homestead, Mr. Jenkins returned to Calhoun county and purchased his present farm, now a tract of eighty acres, all being under cultivation. In addition to carrying on general farming, he raises considerable stock, and in all his ventures has been evenly successful. A Republican in politics, he not only takes an interest in the success of his party, but gives attention to aiding in the advance of affairs in his township. He is a member of the Ancient Order of Gleaners and with his wife is a faithful attendant of the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1886 Mr. Jenkins was united in marriage with Mrs. Lucinda (Moore) Craig, daughter of Stephen Moore, a native of New York, who came to Michigan in the early 'fifties and spent the rest of his life in agricultural pursuits in Calhoun county. Mrs. Jenkins died in November, 1906, without issue, and in 1908 Mr. Jenkins was married (second) to Mrs. Anna (Hundy) Hadley, daughter of Reuben Hundy, a native of Canada, who spent his last years in Calhoun county, being a shoemaker and market gardener. The family is well known and highly esteemed in Homer township, occupying a pleasant home and being possessed of numerous warm personal friends.
