         WILLIAM JENKINSON, manufacturer and dealer in pine lumber, 
       is a native of the North of Ireland, and was born in 1834. 
       Upon reaching manhood, emigrated to the United States in 
       1853, and four years later came to Port Huron and engaged 
       in buying white oak staves, and continued in that business 
       for twenty years. In 1874, he engaged in manufacturing pine 
       lumber. He owns seven thousand acres of pine land, and cuts
       from five to ten million feet annually; ships his lumber to 
       Chicago, Buffalo, Rochester and other Eastern points. He con-
       trols steamers and barges for freighting his lumber from the 
       mills; he is a director and the largest stockholder in the 
       First National Bank, and is largely interested in real estate 
       and city property. In 1856, MR. JENKINSON was united in mar-
       riage to Miss ELIZA M. STETTLER, a native of Canada. They 
       have one daughter - JENNIE.
