The William "Henry" Martin family traveled half-way across the nation to settle in Comanche Co, TX. Along the way, in St Francis Co, AR, Henry's wife and mother of his children, Elender "Nelly" Dooley Martin died. Mary Ann Martin married Kinuth McKinzie 1 Oct 1851 along the way in Murray Co, GA. It appears the McKinzie and Martin families may have traveled together. Mary's sister, Nancy Elizabeth, also married one of the McKinzie boys.

Not long after settling in Comanche County, Kinuth McKinzie was mortally wounded in a Comanche Indian raid. Kinuth's brother, James was wounded. Mary Ann, a widow with 2 small children, married John Wesley Jenkins of Tennessee 4 years later. They raised the one surviving son of Mary Ann and Kinuth and had 2 children of their own.

In 1893, John died and Mary Ann found herself a widow once again. Mary died in 1911. Neither John nor Mary Ann have a surviving headstone, but Mary Ann's death certificate records her burial in Zion Hill Cemetery. It is likely John is buried there as well.

Mary Ann was a true pioneer woman who met the hazards and hardships of pioneer life with conviction and strength.
