Samuel is the son of Stephen Jenks (1759-1819) and Ann Sayles (1761-aft1830). He married Phebe Jane Winchell on Feb. 6, 1814. The family moved to Laurel in 1815. After Phebe's death he married Lura Marsh, widow of neighbor James Potts, on Apr. 3, 1842. He was found dead in his bed the morning of Oct. 24, 1881 and was buried the next afternoon in the family cemetery.

In New England, the family name was spelled Jenks or sometimes Jenkes, but Samuel and his brother Gideon usually used Jinks. On their mother's side the brothers are descended from Roger Williams(1603-1683), the founder of Rhode Island, through his oldest daughter Mary. On their father's side they are descended from Joseph Jenks (1599-1683), iron maker, holder of the first patent issued in the Colonies, and inventor of the scythe.
