     Their marriage record indicates they belonged to the Church ofEngland.Little is yet known about the couples lives in Canada.Elias Jenkins wasone of a large group of people who formed TheStanbridge TemperanceSociety on Thursday, 20 January 1831. Judging from the birthplaces oftheir children, they removed toSt. Lawrence County sometime between 1836and 1840 -- areasonable time for a large family to move since Canada wasin astate of Civil War beginning in 1837. It appears that theymoved withSally's brother, Abel Gage, who lived nearby for manyyears.Elias was oneof the original five trustees of the FirstWesleyan Society Church of EastStockholm, which wasincorporated 11 October 1852. Elias and Sally areboth buried in Lot 54 of the JenkinsNeighborhood Cemetery in the Town ofStockholm, with theinscription Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.Eliasmarried second Mrs. Taylor of Malone, St. Lawrence Co., NewYork, in1854, and they had no known children.
