Joseph Jenckes III
Joseph Jenckes was elected governor of the Colony in 1727 and was granted100 pounds to move his
family to Newport, then the seat of the Colony, as it was at the time alarger place than Providence with
more industry.
He was of large stature and well proportioned standing in hisstocking feet, seven foot and two
inches, a man of most grave and commanding aspect. He was of greatutility in the defense of Providence, Rhode Island against thesurrounding Indians, gradually ascending from an Ensign to be ChiefColonel of the Colony.
In 1708 he was one of the committee to settle the Northern linebetween this colony and the
Province of Massachusetts. On the 10th of August, 1719 he wascommissioned by the Governor and
Company of Rhode Island an agent to prosecute before the King in London,England or any authority or
Judicature that may be committed, the Colony's appeal against the Colonyof Connecticut's further
encroachment upon said Colony. He had success in the business and wasthen chosen Deputy Governor for a number of years. In 1727 he was chosenGovernor of the Colony and served five years. He was solicited to servethe Colony longer as their Governor, but he told them with heart-feltgratitude that he could perceive that his natural faculties were abatingand if he should continue in the service a few years longer as theirGovernor perhaps he might not be willing to resign. He therefore deemedit
Most beneficial for the Colony and prudent for himself to resign inseason. He was a distinguished member in church as well as state.
While in London, he not only attended at Court but also at churchand ascertained the true state of all the Baptist churches, bothergeneral and particular in London. He was blind for several years beforehe died and " as a shock of corn cometh in his season" so likewise hecame to his grave in a full age, upon which is the following epitaph:

In memory of ye
Hon. JOSEPH JENKS ESQ.
lat Governor of ye colony of Rhode Island
Deceased ye
15 day of June A/D 1740 in ye 84th year of his age
He was much beloved and honored in life and
lamented in death. He was a bright example of virtue in every stageof life.

He was a zealous Christian, a wise and prudent Governor, a kindhusband and a tender father, a good neighbor and a faithful friend,grave, sober, pleasant in behavior, beautiful in person with a soul trulygreat, heroic and sweetly tempered.

He was the first iron-maker with his brother-in-law.

i have different born dates. One is 1666 which would make her 90 when she died. From other sources, I have 1672 which would make her 84- I believe that date is correct. Also, there are 3 spellings of her name; "JENKS' and 'JENCKES' and 'JENKES'. It seems her ancestors changed the spelling often.

Joseph Jenckes Jr.:
Jenckes. Jr. was born in England in 1632, son of Joseph, Sr. andJoan Hearne Jenckes. He later followed his father to Lynn, Massachusettsand from there he removed to Rhode Island. On March 25, 1669 he wasgranted land on either side of the Pawtucket River in Warwick for theerection of his sawmill. Being a forgeman by trade, as were his Welshancestry for many generations before him and finding not sufficientwaterpower in Warwick he removed to Pawtucket Rhode Island at the age of39. On October 10, 1671 he bought 60 acres more or less with right ofcommorage of Abel Potter and wife Rachel, said land belonging formerly toRachel's grandfather, Ezekiel Holliman and being situated near PawtucketFalls. He erected a sawmill and also built a forge for manufacturingiron, and had the same burnt by the Indians in 1765-6 during KingPhilip's War. Nelson Jencks of Woonsocket, Rhode Island had a picture ofthe falls and Jenks Mill, also a copy of deed to land. He and his foursons, Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebeneezer and William built a dwelling house foreach of themselves and in 1820 they were all in tolerable good repair.The last was taken down in 1877 and must have been about 200 years old.
In 1677 Joseph was a Freeman. July 1, 1679 he was taxed 12s 6dincluding his sawmill. 1679-80 and 1691 he was a deputy. He and twoothers on May 5, 1680, were empowered by the Assembly to purchase a bell"for the public use of the Colony, and for giving notice or signifyingthe several Limes or sittings of the Assembly's and Courts of Trials andGeneral Councils." The bell was purchased for 3-10 pounds of FreeloveArnold, daughter of Governor Benedict Arnold. Previously the Assemblyhad been called together by beat of drum.
For thirteen of the years between 1680 and 1698 Joseph was Assistantin the General Assembly. During 1681, he was Cousellor of the Governor.There is a record of his having land laid out November 14. 1683.
September 1, 1687 Joseph and his sons Joseph and Nathaniel weretaxed together 12 shillings. August 6, 1688, his ratable estateconsisted of six acres planting land, two acres meadow, eight acrespasture, 30 acres wild pasture, rights in land, four oxen, seven cows,two steers, heifer, yearling, two mares, colt, swine, sheep and sawmill.
It is recorded that Joseph's will was dated October 21, 1708, andproved February 11, 1717.
Executrix was wife Esther, but she declined by reason of age andinability, her son Nathaniel acted at her request and by appointment. Heconfirmed deeds already made to sons, Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebeneezer andWilliam. To sons Nathaniel, Ebeneezer and William other land was givenand if any further division was made by proprietors of Providence, thenthe four sons to share equally. To sons Ebeneezer and William the coalhouse and his half of the forge, at death of himself and wife. To lovingwife, Esther, all the rest of movable estate, cattle and chattal for lifeand what remains at her death she is to dispose of to children andgrandchildren as she sees fit.

Notes for ESTHFR* (HESTER) BALLARD:
When JosepWs will was proved February II, 1717, Esther was named theexecuter; however, she declined due to age and inability-After the realproperty was divided among her sons, Joseph gave his 'loving wifb" allthe rest of movable estate, cattle and chattal, for life, with whatremained at her death to be divided among her children and grandchildrenas she saw fit.
