Misc. Notes
Vol III Pg 425 Joseph Jenckes introduced to the colony the idea of patenting inventions, and it seems to have been a motive for coming to the new country that he might protect and introduce his own ideas. In 1646 he secured a patent for fourteen years on an improved water-wheel, also a newly invented sawmill.144286
Pg 59 Joseph Jenckes senior was probably a descendant of the Jenckes family which originated in Wales, and later was of Wolverton in Shropshire, England144287
Pg 36 Three years after his arrival, on 6 May 1646 the MA General Court granted him a patent for three important inventions, - A water mill or wheel, a machine for making seythes and other edged tools and a saw mill. He then purchased the right (Annals of Lyn, ed 1865 p.208) 20 Jan 1647 from Richard Leader, the general manager, to build a forge at the iron works for the manufacture of seythes.66850
Part I Chapter I Pg 10 Joseph Jenckes I (1602-1683); first patentee of inventions in America, having introduced the idea (first granted in England by act of Parliament in 1625) of protection for the manufacturer of improvements by petition to the government of MA Bay.66845
