From Capron Genealogy: Joseph Scott married Elizabeth Jenks of Lynn, Ma. by whom he had 7 Chn. Their son John and father Joseph died within a few hours of each other, of a fever. Joseph was age 40 and his widow lived till she was 70 yrs. old. JENKS: Joseph was born in Rockingham, England in 1632. He and a brother , when young, came to Lynn, Ma. His brother concluded to settle at Lynn, but Joseph went in a short time to Pawtucket, R.I. where he built a house which was the first house built by a while man at that place; which house, is said, remains to this day, (1817) and is now owned by the widow and heirs of the late Ichabod Jenks. He afterwards built him a forge to make iron, which was burnt in King Phillips War by the Indians. It was soon rebuilt and vast quantities of iron were made in it for more than a hundred years, History says the Jenks family mostly resided in Pawtucket, R.I. and it's vicinity for nearly a hundred years. and they all descend from the Hon. Joseph Jenks Esq. He had four children , all sons, who are reputed to have been very eminent men. The names were Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebenezer and William. *and he goes on about these 4 sons. Pg. 21 Scoots and Jenks connect to the Capron; I would further observe that there was a corresponding connection in friendship, and business between the families of Jeremiah Scott, Gov. Jenks and brothers, and Banfield Capron as well, before and after their connections in marriage . They all lived a few miles of each other , and were in those days like near neighbors. At the forge in Pawtucket, commonly called the Jenks Forge, Joseph and Sylvanus Scott and their brother in law Pg. 23 David Jenks , Walter Capron, and his brother in law David Aldrich . all learned the art of making iron. Afterwards Daniel Jenks , Joseph and Sylvanus Scott purchased privilege of John Arnold at Woonsocket Falls and built a forge, where they manufactured iron for several years. The they sold it to the late Judge Thomas Arnold, Judge Caleb Aldrich, and Robert Aldrich esq. ======== That's it Barb. on the Jenks history in this genealogy.. Hope I typed without too many errors. I have Joseph Jenks 3 times as an ancestor. Banfield Capron 2 times and George Aldrich 2 times. My Scott line goes up to the Phebe Scott , b. 1811 ; w/m Benjamin Pickering. My GR.GR grand parents, who settled in South Parish Mendon, Ma. now East Blackstone, Ma. . Alice
