Anson Witherell Jenkins^{[1, 2]}

1858 - 1939  (81 years)

• Name	Anson Witherell Jenkins
  Birth	17 Jun 1858	Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  	Also seen as Jun 1855. Listed as 1 year old in 1860 Census. Mason's Membership card says 1858. Birth record in town list says 1857, but it's mixed in with some other delayed recording. Could be 1856, could be 1857, could be 1858. I tend to believe 1858 since it fits with all of the census records.

  	Anson is listed as widowed. This explains the confusion in the 1930 census. He *was* married, but was currently widowed. Rotha is listed as his ward, since she was actually the niece of his deceased wife. Also in the home is a boarder, the son of Russian immigrants, and a house keeper.
