Birth | yes Note: We have found no source to confirm that James Watkins is the father of Sarah Watkins Jennings. There is also no source that the Will and Probate Records on this page are connected to the James Watkins who may be the father of Sarah Watkins. There is information posted about the family of Sarah Watkins Jennings in numerous family trees on ancestry.com, but sources to verify that information are hard to find.
It was our hope that the Will of James Watkins would confirm he is the father of Sarah Watkins Jennings. It confirms he is the father of Nancy Watkins Jennings, but not Sarah.
Perhaps Sarah is Nancy Sarah or Sarah Nancy because the Probate records show that money was distributed to Rhoda Jennings, an heir. Rhoda Jennings Hiner is the daughter of Sarah Watkins Jennings. It is reported, but not sourced, that Sarah died on July 8, 1845. The Probate records show money being distributed in August 1845 to Rhoda Jennings, an heir.
The Will and Probate records are being posted here for you to make your own determination.
