Notes:
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.

Notes:
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.
