Will Jenkins
I have an old studio photograph of Will JENKINS which was taken at the Parsons Studio in Richmond, IN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Will in his teens at the time. He is also identified as "1st Cousin" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Will and his family:

William “Will” JENKINS was b. 7 Nov 1892 in Richmond, IN to parents William Franklin JENKINS (1865-1941) and Emma N. WYATT (1863-1932). His father was married previously and had three additional children including Jesse E.; Johnie; and Clay JENKINS all born between 1886 and 1889. Will married Eleanora or Elnora Katherine HIRSCHFIELD (1894-1934) on 27 Mar 1915 in Wayne Co., IN and they had two children including William Charles JENKINS (1915-1990) and Henry Richard JENKINS (1916-1996).

Will was married a second time to Saffe “Sophia” DEJA (1899-1992) in Detroit, MI on 27 Oct 1928 and they had two sons including Eugene JENKINS (1927-1962) and Kenneth F. JENKINS (b. 1936). Will died in Aug 1965 in Detroit, MI.

I am hoping to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
