Junkin
The family was originally Huguenots from
France in the 16th century, emigrated from their home near
Inverness, Scotland into Ireland sometime before 1688 during the
Stuart prosecution. They were Covenanters, of the strictest type,
singing or chanting only Psalms and prohibiting the use of
musical instruments. Joseph immigrated to New Castle, DE where
uncles and cousins had previously settled, with his wife and two
brothers. The Junkins lived for years around Inverness, Scotland
and then in Ulster, Ireland. Dr. Roy Stevenson King, a
descendent, wrote in 1939 The Junkin family was an ancient family
claiming Huguenot descent from ancestors who were driven from
France in the 16th century.
