Jenks, Henry G. (Henry Gold). Account books, 1792, 1799-1801, 1834.

Title: Account books, 1792, 1799-1801, 1834.

Consists of four volumes. The first three pertain to Jenks' blacksmithing activities. Two volumes are account books covering the year 1792, while the third is a daybook kept from 1799 to 1801. In these volumes, Jenks recorded such activities as repairing guns and pistols, days of work, engraving, working on bellow pipes, mending crowbars and tongs, and making latch handles, bolts, rings, staples, and hooks. Many of the entries contain references to cutting brands and the name of the brand is written in block letters, presumably as it would appear. Also noted in the volumes are purchases of ribbon, a jacket, shoes, nails, and plain iron. The fourth volume was compiled by Alonzo Lewis in 1834. It offers information about early Jenks family members as transcribed from original records of Essex County, Ma. Entries primarily concern land purchases and other legal matters of Joseph, Joseph, Jr., and Samuel Jenks, all blacksmiths.

Jenks, William, 1778-1866. William Jenks papers, 1798-1909 (bulk: 1826-1848)

Title: William Jenks papers, 1798-1909 (bulk: 1826-1848)

The personal papers of William Jenks includes his correspondence, outlines of sermons and addresses, and material by or about other members of his family including his father Samuel (1731/2-1801) and his sons Theodore Russell Jenks, Joseph William Jenks and Lemuel P. Jenks. There are records concerning the First Church in Bath and other institutions or benevolent societies in Maine. The material on the Green Street Congregational Church in Boston includes records of marriages which he preformed between 1827 and 1848. The records of three benevolent societies of Boston are particularly noteworthy. The Boston Marine Bible Society supplied Bibles to seamen. The Boston Society for the Moral and Religious Instruction of the Poor in the 1820s ran Sunday schools for the children of workers, services for seamen on board ships in the harbor as well as ashore and the Penitent Females' Refuge, a home for reformed prostitutes. The Massachusetts Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, in the 1820s and 1830s, sent missionaries to small towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire which lacked the resources to support their own ministers.
