      === Research notes from Christopher Handy

      Description: Parents unknown; there was no such person as "William Jason Jenkins". Sir Llewellyn/"Leoline"/"Lionel" Jenkins, of the Admiralty Board, etc., is recorded in near-contemporary histories as having had a brother "Jevan", but none called "William" or "Jason"; further, Sir Llewellyn/"Leoline" said to be brother to this fictitious "William Jason Jenkins" was of Glamorgan, not Anglesey. Anything before Thomas who came to Maryland should be regarded as fiction.
