Source notes

• Indiana Marriage record indicate a marriage date of 14 Sept 1856. The couple is shown as husband and wife in the 1850 census.

Conjecture

Daniel Jenks apparently dies between 1860 and 1866 since Maragret is remarried and has a 3 year old child in 1870 census. Also, Sarah I Jenks seems a bit old to be Margaret's daughter.
