Her maiden name is not proven. No marriage record found and no proof of any maiden name is documented in any primary records we have searched. If someone can provide proof of either, it would be greatly appreciated. Some think it is Jenkins or Chandler. Some say that her mother's maiden name was Chandler and that she had a son Chandler Arthur but no proof has been provided of either that links Chandler to her. Joel would be too young to be Chandler's father.

Some of Joel's children were also used in the Jenkins family also of Bedford Co VA such as Amos, Azariah, etc. It is highly likely that she was a Jenkins but cannot find any proof beyond the common naming.

Shirley Andrews indicates that Amos Jenkins born 1730 and married to Jane (Chandler) had the following children.
John Jenkins 1753-1832
William Jenkins 1755
Nancy Jenkins 1758-1835 m Joel Arthur
Jacob Gransire Jenkins 1763-1840
Azariah Amos Jenkins 1770-1818 married Nancy Anna Phebe Cavendish

It is believed Joel and Nancy had children Phoebe, Jane, Thomas, Nimrod, Stephen, Amos, Benjamin, Azariah, Elizabeth and Lewis Arthur. His will is not found but these children all interacted and some have documented relationship such as Azariah and Lewis are named as brothers in the Lewis Arthur Jr. pension.
