JENKINS, SPEAKER, RAISON
Looking for the families of Peter W. Speaker and William E. Jenkins.  Peter W. Speaker is listed in the 1880 census for Shelby Co. as living in Dinsmore Twp., all of his children were born in and around Botkins, but we have nothing on him at all.  I believe that William E. Jenkins was also living in Dinsmore Twp. at the same time with his parents.  I think his father's name was John. Any help at all with this query, will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking for Peter's daughter, Della, who married a Raison.
