How Jenckes became Jenks...
1682
The "Geneology of the Jenks Family of America" (1952) states, on p. 21:
"In 1682 [Nathaniel Jenks] took the oath of allegiance to Charles II which so incensed his brothers that, it is said, they compelled him to abandon the family name and write his name "Jenks."
The Jenks geneology also has a few life tidbits and his will (pp. 21-24).
