BMDB data

William Jinkin was born say 1755 ?PER, SCT.¹
William Jinkin married Christian Baird in 1779 Lecropt, STI/PER, SCT.²

William is of an age and place for his family to be in the frame as the culprit for our disconnection from the Henderson ancestry of our surname, as shown by our yDNA testing results' matches to Jenkins families in the area.
