Trancriber
notes:
Calvin
Gregory did a column on this inventory Sept. 28, 1950
*Cal interpreted this name as Thomas
Jenkins, I am unsure if the surname is Jenkins, and it appears to me Jun’r is
present.
** Cal interpreted this name as Maryon
Jenkins, my interpretation is Maryan, unsure which is correct.
*** & **** It appears the last two
entries were left out of Cal’s interpretation.
It is also difficult to tell if the
spelling of Jenkins throughout this document is “Jenkins or Jinkins”.
