It was the wish of Harlan Jenks, as expressed in his last will and testament, that his estate provide for the publication of the Jenks family records, which had been a great part of his efforts. Joseph Jenks was born in England in 1603 and died in Massachusetts in 1683. He married Mary Tervyn in London in 1630. She was buried in England in 1643. Secondly he married Elizabeth, in New England in 1650.  His residence was in Lynn Massachusetts. The first iron foundry was built by him in Lynn. The first casting was an iron kettle. *Note the book The Jenks Family of England is a supplement by Meredith B. Colket, Jr. (55 p.)
