Cabinet photograph of a man identified on reverse as Willard Jencks; the photo was taken by the P. H. Rose studio of Providence, Rhode Island.
Willard Jencks was born in August of 1824 in Rhode Island, the son of, I think, Pardon Jencks and his wife Lydia (Bolster) Jencks. He married twice. His first wife was Louisa Whipple, the daughter of George and Lydia (Arnold) Whipple; Louisa died in 1885. On 1 Jun 1886 in Rhode Island, Willard married Rosamond; as yet I haven't found her maiden name or parents.
Note: [In March 2013 a reader forwarded information that Rosamond's maiden name was Smith, as found in the 1952 "Jenks Family History" by William B Browne. (p.267)]
I believe Willard and Louisa had a son George W. Jencks, born December 1859 in Rhode Island.
I've seen Willard Jencks shown also as Willard Jenckes.
