General James E. Jenkins, father of Mrs. Henry Ward Bates, was the son of L. Whipple Jenkins, and was born in Vernon, New York, in 1842. His father was one of the ablest lawyers in the state in his day. His father's brother, Hon. Timothy Jenkins, of Oneida Castle, was a congressman for several years. He attended the schools of his native village and afterwards prepared himself for college. He was a student at Hamilton College when the civil war broke out, and left at once to enlist. He helped to raise a company of which he was to be the captain, but after the company was raised there was a long and costly delay in mustering them in, so the men were scattered. Mr. Jenkins then be- 28

came first lieutenant of the Oneida Cavalry Com- pany, which went to the front in September, 1861, and was made headquarters guard for the Army of the Potomac and remained on this duty till the end of the war, being mustered out September, 1865. In March, 1863, Lieutenant Jenkins was trans- ferred with the same rank to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth New York Infantry, known as the Fifth Oneida. The lieutenant colonel of this regiment was David T. Jenkins, his brother. Lieutenant Jen- kins was soon made a captain and was brevetted for special bravery at the battle of Spottsylvania. 'He was terribly wounded at Gettysburg, shot through the neck by a musket ball and at the same time his back was badly torn by an exploding shell. He was nursed back to health by his mother, who took him to her home in Vernon as soon as he could be moved. His brother, Colonel Jenkins, was killed in the battle of the Wilderness while he was re- covering from his wounds. In September, 1864, Captain Jenkins, re-enlisted in the Oneida Cavalry Company and retained his command until mustered out a year later.

After the war Captain Jenkins engaged in busi- ness in Worcester, Massachusetts, but in 1871 re- moved to New York, where he remained for about ten years. He never recovered from the wounds and exposures of army life, and in 188I had to retire from business. He went to Florida, then to South Dakota, and in 1882 decided to locate there. He pre-empted a homestead in Brule county, near Chamberlain, removing his family there the follow- ing year. His health improved and he became prominent in his new home. In 1883 he was elected treasurer of the county for three years, and in 1886 was re-elected. In 1887 he was appointed by Governor Church adjutant general of Dakota, and thus became known as General Jenkins. Had his life been spared he gave promise of becoming one of the distinguished men of the territory.

Mr. A. P. Case wrote of him at the time of his death: "Brave and manly as a boy, brave on the battle field, brave in his last struggle with his last antagonist death. In the field he did not seem to know what fear was. Always cool and collected, a model commander, quick to see, prompt to act, lie only wanted a larger field of action to have become distinguished as an officer. Himself friendly, he always made friends, and was a favorite with his playmates, his college chums, his army comrades, and with the far western people among whom he finally cast his lot. But with his friendliness he always kept his stately, courteous manner, his self- respect, his positive, determined character, thus com- pelling the respect of others. In these respects, as well as in personal appearance and dignity, he often reminded his friends of his uncle, the late Hon. Timothy Jenkins, of Oneida Castle. His vig- orous youth and erect form promised a long life, but four years of army life hardships sapped it be- yond recovery."

He married Lizzie Learned Pierce, of Spencer, Massachusetts. They had six children: Mabel W., Mrs. Henry W. Bates; David T., resides in Minne- apolis; Alice S., at home; Bessie, deceased ; Mar- shall P., at home; Gennette E., resides with Mrs. Bates.
