Miranda Jenkins was born Dec 1865 in Louisiana per the 1900 census.  (She is 51 per the 1920 census, and 56 per the 1930 census).  Her maiden name of "Jenkins" comes from the death certificate of her son Hiluid Wimbly.
  
She married [[George E Washington]] 4 Apr 1899 in Arkansas County as "Mirandy Wimberly".  Her maiden name is unknown at this time. Maranda evidently had several children from a prior marriage, named Wimberly.  On the 1900 census, they say married 1 year, but on the 1910 census, he says this is his first marriage, while she says it's her second and both say they married 18 years ago.
