Biography

• Birth: Lydia Alice Gill was born on 25 April 1850 in Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa, United StatesBGO.^3,4,5,1,6,2
• Marriage: She and William David Jenkins were married on 26 January 1870 in Keokuk, Iowa, United StatesBGO, Created by ImageGear, AccuSoft Corp.^7,2
• Death: She died on 20 April 1916, at age 65, in Trail Creek Township, Harrison, Missouri, United StatesBGO.^5,8,1,2

• Name: Lydia Alice Gill was also known as Lydia Annis Gill.^9,5
• Name: She was also known as Alice Gill.
• Note:
  
  The names and ages of all the children, excluding Susan Myrtle, are guesses. According to the 1900 Census, she had nine living children, and had lost one child. There were three children residing in the home at the time of the 1900 Census: 17-year-old Susan M. (Myrtle born circa 1883), 12-year-old Walter (born circa 1888), and 4-year-old Ethel (born circa 1896).
  
  In the 1895 State Census for Montgomery County, Red Oak Township, there was 16-year-old May (born circa 1879), 12-year-old Myrtle (Susan born circa 1883), 8-year-old Lillie (born circa 1887), and 6-year-old Walter (born circa 1889). From this information, one could surmise that sometime between 1895 and 1900, Lillie died.
  
  The 1880 Census for Keokuk County, Jackson Township, includes three children: 9-year-old Mary (born circa 1871), 4-year-old Ellen (born circa 1876), and 9-month-old Tilda (born August 1879).
  
  Is Tilda and May one and the same? If so, this only accounts for seven children of this marriage.^10,7,11
• Alt. Birth: She has conflicting birth information of 1844 and Keokuk, Iowa, United StatesBGO.
