Joseph Jenckes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Joseph Jenckes Three prominent, early New England men were named Joseph Jenckes. (Alt. spellings include Jenks, Jencks.) == Joseph Jenckes I ==
(baptized 26 August 1599 at St. Ann Blackfriars, London, d. 16 March 1682/83, Lynn, Essex County, MA) Joseph Jenckes settled in Lynn, Massachusetts by 1643, arriving as a widower. On March 6, 1646, he was awarded the first patent in North America by the General Court of Massachusetts, for making scythes. This basic scythe design remained in use for over 300 years. In 1654 he built the first fire engine in North America, commissioned by the city of Boston. The site of the Jenckes forge is at the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site.
