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.

Joseph Jenckes Sr.
Joseph Jenckes came to America from England in 1643, as a widower,leaving two sons behind, settling in Lynn, Massachusetts. He establishedthe iron works at Lynn and was the first patentee in America in 1646. Hecut the dies for the "Pine Tree Shilling" in 1652, for the coinage ofcolonia money- Joseph built the first fire engine in 1654. He was theinventor of the grass scythe. In his foundry was cast the first 'hollowware" in this country and there is said to be preserved in Salem thefirst or one of the first that came out of the mould which was exhibitedat the Columbian Exposition. He was an accounted "a man of greatgenius". (Information given by Virginia Edmunds)

From "Lin, her Jewels", History of Lynn, Massachusetts by A. Lewis: In1643 Robert Bridges took Bog
Iron ore found in Saugus to London and succeeded in forming a companycalled "Company of Undertakers for the Iron Works", consisting of thefollowing wealthy and enterprising gentlemen: Lionel Copley Esq. ofYorkshire, Nicholas Bond Esq. and Thomas Fury Esq. of Westminster, JohnBeck and William Beauchamp, merchants; William Hicock, citizen; ThomasFoley, gentleman, John Pococke and William Becke, Merchant Tailors all ofLondon; William Greenhill of Stepney, Middlesexshire and Thomas Weld,Minister of Gateshead, Durhamshire. The company advanced 1000 pounds tocommence the work. Land was bought of Thomas Hudson on the west bank ofthe Saugus River. The village where the Iron Works was located wascalled Hammersmith from the place in England where many of the workmencame from. JOSEPH JENKES came from Hammersmith. He was a machinist atthe Iron foundry and by his hands the first models were made and thefirst castings taken of many domestic implements and iron tools. Thefirst article was cast a small iron pot, capable of containing about onequart. Thomas Hudson procured this famous old iron pot and it remainedin the Hudson family until after 1844. This pot is in the EssexInstitute in Salem, Massachusetts. Joseph Wormwood, brother-in-law ofJoseph Jenks was warned in 1668 to leave Concord, Massachusetts, as theiron works were not paying.
