Owen and Green Freeman Jenkins were brothers. Each had a son marry a Johnson daughter - cousins married sisters in a double ceremony. Owen's son, John Robert married Ellen Nora Johnson, and Green's son, William James married Florence Johnson. Their families are on other pages.

John Wesley Jenkins was the oldest child of Green Freeman Jenkins and Dinah J. Poulan (Poland). He married Sarah Ann Josephine Thomas and they had seven children: Jennie Ida, Bryant Freeman, James Allen, William F., Eva Belle, Johnnie A., and Jimmie Pierson.
