So, it appears that there was a strong Howard
connection, too.  I had not picked up on that until
I saw those tax lists from Colleen.  Also, Milly
Howard was a witness for the will of John Jenkins,
dated 1779.  Perhaps she was a daughter of Keziah
Jenkins Howard.  

NOTES:


Keziah was the daughter of John Jenkins of Nansemond
and his wife, Anne.  She is a brother to James
Jenkins, my ancestor.  

Keziah Jenkins Howard


Now for my Keziah Jenkins theory.  I think Keziah,
daughter of John and Anne, married Samuel Howard.
In the tax records that Colleen sent I noted that
Samuel Howard first appears in 1756, 1757, 1761.  He
is also there in 1762.  However, in 1763 Keziah
Howard is listed with her son James Howard and Lues
Jenkins, Jr.  - 2 polls.  She is also listed in
1764. 

When I checked David Gammon's Estate Records, I
found Keziah Howard was appt. admistrx  for Samuel
Howard on May 27, 1763, and the witnesses were Lewis
and Cader Jenkins.  (her brothers)  This data I
received from Peggy Chapman.
