Looking for Jenkins ancestors from Shennandoah/Page County of Virginia, specifically the ancestors of Mary/Matilda Jenkins who married Henry Montague, was widowed sometime in the early 1850s, and sometime in the later 1850s married Bill Graham. (We don't know if Graham was the actual name. He was an illiterate Irish immigrant.) She had three or possibly four daughters by Montague and two sons by Graham, Bill was a railroad laborer and the family moved through Kentucky, where the boys were born, to Holt, Missouri. Both Bill and Mary/Matilda died around 1860 of Yellow Fever, very close in time to each other.

Biography
I was born in Pennsylvania, the oldest of five children, but we moved to Missouri when I was not even one month old. From birth i had a rare disease, Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. I was forturnate, however, that I had a less severe subtype, Inversa, and with a lot of adaptations and with a lot of problems, I survived, married, and had two children. I have a masters degree from the University of South Florida. I changed careers several times, unwillingly, but I eventually became a transportation planner. I am artistic and have won some minor awards for my paintings .
Sources
I rely primarily upon web sourced research from MyHeritage.com, Ancestry.com, Family Tree.com, etc.
I have included some narratives from family members and from two family resources: a Graham family history compiled by Jack Graham, which included information from my father, John Edward Graham, and a Schuele/Sigrist family history compiled by my great aunt, Helena Schuele and my cousin Fredrick Schuele. They added some comments and resources from their cousiins to this history.
