!NOTES:
See THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND 1670 by Edward Felix Jenkins, O.S.A .(1985);
p. 9: "William Jenkins m. ca. 1718 Mary Courtney, who was probably b .1696.
These dates make her 22 and William 35 at the time of their marriage ,and
that would make her 45 and him 58 in 1741 when their last child was born.
She was the daughter of Lt. Thomas Courtney of St. Mary's County an dhis
second wife, Mary, possibly the widow Strong. Lt. Thomas Courtney was b.
in St. Mary's County (see not under William to the effect that he landed
in Md. from the Dove), the son of James Courtney who came to Marylan din
1637, and d. in St. Mary's County in 1642; and who on May 23, 1639, there
m. Mary Lawne."
See ibid p. 298: "James Courtney, was brought into Maryland in 163 8as
a redemptioner through the patronage of Captain Robert Vaughn. He obtained
the rights of a freeholder the next year when he appeared at court and ex-
pressed his intentions to marry Mary Lawne, a former maid-servant o fMis-
tress Margaret Brent who arrived in 1683 with four maid-servants. Inasmuch
as James Courtney and his prospective bride both entered Maryland i n1638,
it was possible that they came over in the same ship and that the romance
was culminated during the voyage. On May 29, 1639 in expressing hi sinten-
tions to marry, he stated that there was no precontract to any othe rwoman
and that there was no impediment of consanguinity or apprenticeship .He
gave his bond for 5000 pounds of tobacco. He frequently gave his proxy
to Captain Robert Vaughn during the days of the early Assemblies. N ore-
cord has been found of the settlement of his estate, but his widow was
alive in 1664."
