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.142561
Pg 59 Joseph Jenckes senior was probably a descendant of the Jenckes family which originated in Wales, and later was of Wolverton in Shropshire, England142562
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.66199
