Amasa M. Jenkins was born in Marion County, Ohio, June 1, 1844, a son of 
Robert and Ann (Pearson) Jenkins, the former a native of North Carolina and of 
Welsh descent, and the latter a native of Marion County, Ohio, of English 
ancestry. At the age of four years his father settled on a farm near Dayton, 
Ohio, where he was reared and attended the common schools, completing his 
education at Spiceland Academy and at Earlham College, Richmond, Ind. During 
the late war our subject was drafted into the service of the United States, 
but it being against his principles to fight, he was, through the influence of 
the commanding officer at Dayton, honorably discharged. He resided on the 
homestead till 1869 when he removed to his present home in New Garden 
Township, where he has a fine farm of 141 acres of improved land. He was 
married May 21, 1866, to Mary Ann, daughter of Luke and Mildred (Fulghum) 
Thomas. They have had six children---Charles Francis, Atwood L., Olive L., 
Alice A., Alvin, and an infant (deceased). Mr. Jenkins and wife are members of 
the Society of Friends.
