| Notes |
- From "Pawtucket Past and Present" written by Walton Advertising Co., Bos t on, Mass., 1917 Pg 34-35
"Of Nathaniel, who was active in the defence of Pawtucket against the In d ians, are told many tales concerning his marvellous strength. He is sa i d to have lifted "a forge hammer weighing 500 pounds, together with sev e n men thereon." At another time he (on his hands and knees) lifted upo n h is back timber judged to weigh 3,000 pounds. Still another story wil l bea r repeating. They say that in Captain Nathaniel Jenk's time a hig h boar d fence with great gates was built across the western abutment o f Pawtuck et bridge to protect the town against the spread of smallpox fr om Boston . A stranger came to Captain Jenks on a dark night, and asked t hat he mig ht take his horse through the gate. Captain Jenks, who was kee per of th e gate, refused the request, and told the stranger that he coul d not be a dmitted, as the bridge was up. The man said he rode from the e ast to th e fence, and that he did not discover that the bridge had bee n taken up . He and his horse had come over the Falls on a single string- piece, 14 i nches wide and 40 feet long, and 20 feet above the Falls."
Pg 34. Nathaniel attained the rank of major in military service.
