from “the Winborne Family” by B B Winborne
Henry was the son of Winborne Jenkins Jr and his wife Susanna DeBerry, daughter of Peter DeBerry, of Northampton County, NC. Winborne Jenkins Jr was the son of Winborne Jenkins Sr and his wife Emma of Northampton. Charles Jenkins and his wife were the parents of Winborne Jenkins Sr. The former died in fall of 1772 leaving a will, in which he devised his property to his daughter Elizabeth, and his sons, William, Henry, Charles and Winborne. His four sons and William Murfree were his executors.
Winborne Jenkins Sr died in the fall of 1793. He was a man of large business interest and a large landowner in Northampton County. He appointed his sons Winborne and Benjamin his executors. His will is dated July 20 1790 and the executor’s sale was January 23 1797. In a deed to him,, October 15 1757 from Moab Williams he is spoken of as being in Bertie County NC. The lands of the Jenkins were situated principally on Quarter and Urahaw Swamps and Potecase Creek.

per B B Winborne [from “the Vaughan family”:
John Jenkins was listed in Virginia in 1624, he bought land in Warwick Square in Nansemond Co VA.
He returned to England, married his wife and returned to Virginia mid 17th century.

Patent Book one – p 143 Captain John Jenkins 25 Sept 1663 – 700 acres, being a Neck of Land bounded by the river of Carolina on the South, on the North with Pyquomons River, on the East with ye Mouth of Pyquomans and Carolina. and on the west by a Great swamp which parts this land from land of Thomas Jarvis /s/ William Berkley Province of North Carolina 1663 – 1729, abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret`M Hofman

In the 1670 Ct records he is called Col. John Jenkins.
John Jenkins was President of the Council and in the absence of the governor became acting governor.
He was governor of North Carolina 3 times under the Lord Proprietors

1673 -The Plantation Duty Act requires that all colonies trade directly with England or face heavy duties on goods. Albemarle colonists resist because their lack of an adequate harbor requires them to ship goods to northern colonies before they can be shipped to England.
Albemarle governor John Jenkins refuses to enforce the act.
1675 – Chowanoc Indians attack white settlements in Carolina.
The uprising is quelled with the “loss of many men.”
Two leaders of the Proprietary faction, Thomas Eastchurch,                                                                                                                                and Thomas Miller, clash with Governor John Jenkins, a leader of anti-Proprietary sentiment.
Jenkins jails Miller for treasonable utterances‚ and attempts to dissolve the assembly.
The majority of that body disagrees with Jenkins, however, and he is deposed and jailed.
1676 – By March, Jenkins is released and resumes the post of governor. Eastchurch and Miller go to England to try to sway the Lords Proprietors in their favor. The Proprietors side with Eastchurch and appoint him governor. But Eastchurch delays his return to Carolina and, without authority to do so, appoints Miller as acting governor.
Culpepper’s Rebellion
1680 – John Jenkins is reappointed governor for one year.[ he died 17 Dec 1781 while in office.NCHGR 3-220]
Seth Sothel holds the office next and becomes known as a corrupt and oppressive governor.

3 thoughts on “Colonel Uriah Vaughan & Sarah Amanda Jenkins”

  1. A correction for my previous post: The 1772 deed of Henry Jernigan to Lydia Jones was not recorded in Halifaxe Co., NC but was recorded in Johnston Co., NC 18 Dec 1772.

  2. A comment I made years ago is posted under Gov. John Jenkins that concerns Dr. Henry Jenkins as a being a son of Captain Henry Jenkins. Although Capt. Henry Jenkins can be shown to have been a land owner and Burgess of Nansemond Co. during the same time period as Dr. Henry Jenkins, my research has found evidence since to exclude Dr. Henry as being a son of Capt. Henry. It can be shown though, that Bridget Hansford, wife of Thomas Hansford of Bertie that had son Jenkins Hansford is a daughter of Captain Henry Jenkins.

    I still have not found any significant connection of Dr. Henry Jenkins to Gov. John Jenkins, but
    Gov. Jenkins was the man who is found in the early Northumberland Co., VA records patenting 1000 acres in 1653 and then found in Maryland after 1658 before migrating to Perquimans NC in 1662. “The Early settlers of Maryland” by Gust Skordas list John Jenkins transported wife Ann in 1654 and married “Joan”, widow of Thomas Batchelor in 1658. A marriage record in Shipston-on-Stour, Worcestershire England is recorded on p.13 for John Jenkins and Ann Flower married 26 Apr 1654 and on p.13 Richard Harvey m. Alice Evets 1658 and p.16 Robert Harvey of Snitterfield and Hannah Etheridge were married 17 May 1703. Snitterfield, Warwickshire is where John and Mary Harvey lived who were the parents of Thomas Harvey that married the relict of Gov. John Jenkins as recorded in Perquimans NC. While in Maryland, John Jenkins became a captain and close supporter of Gov. Josias Fendall. It was because of an incident referred to as Fendall’s Rebellion, John had to vacate Maryland and later would be followed by Gov. Fendall who also went to Perquimans NC.

    Charles Jenkins as son of Dr. Henry Jenkins is not proven, but records show that it is likely.
    A 1772 deed recorded in Halifax Co., NC between Henry Jernigan and Lydia Jones, daughter of Edward Boyt of Nansemond, gives her a tract of land located on Summerton Creek in Nansemond that was left to him by the will of his father Henry Jernigan which was bought(bef 1736) of John and Charles Jenkins. There appear to be several John Jenkins during this period and not certain who the referenced John refers to. One appears as a contemporary to Dr Henry that was transported in 1702 by Barnaby McKinney in IOW and is found closely associated with a Thomas Jenkins and James Jenkins that migrated to NC from Nansemond.
    Perhaps this John was a brother to Dr. Henry. There is an interesting 1747 Chowan deed for John Jenkins (referenced in this pedigree as child of Dr. Henry) and wife Ann of Nansemond Co., VA that gives her maiden name as Speight and that she was the daughter of Francis Speight who was son of Francis Speight. The deed was witnessed by a John Jenkins Sr.
    Connections to the area where Dr. Henry Jenkins patented land can be found for the early NC settlers of a Thomas, John, and Charles Jenkins, but no conclusive answers can be derived yet with the known records. Perhaps advancement in DNA technology can provide the answers.

    I had posted similar commentary regarding my take as Dr. Henry Jenkins being a son of Captain Henry Jenkins and John Jenkins d.1754 on the now defunct Genforum and am posting here to correct the errors and as Sally wisely says: “the way I see it as of this moment.”
    Thanks

  3. Hi, my name is Anamia Nelson (daughter of Cynthia Vaughan and granddaughter of Rockey Vaughan of Murfreesboro NC) and I’m doing work on my family’s genealogy; I have found several links to Uriah Vaughan via my 3rd great grandfather Samuel Jesse Vaughan (1857-1941) and 3rd great grandmother Charlotte Vaughan (nee Moody abt 1820-1913). I see that you’ve done extensive research on your family’s tree and couldn’t help but to wonder if maybe you’ve stumbled across any documentation that would place my family on your family’s land. My 3rd great grandparents had a total of 6 children – Riddick Vaughan, Levi Vaughan, Richard Vaughan, Britton Vaughan, Eliza Vaughan, and Robert Vaughan with the oldest Robert Vaughan being born in 1859. Anything helps and I would greatly appreciated any information. Thanks in advance!
