Stephen Jenks
1772-1856
For the best, most complete biography of Stephen Jenks, please consult Warren Steel's introduction to Jenks' complete works:
Link to A-R Editions
My transcriptions here are from Steel's edition. One exception is Evening Shade, which is still linked to the 1991 Sacred Harp version. The original Jenks version will replace it in a few weeks.  The tunes transcribed so far are only the published tunes. Jenks's manuscript music is a project unto itself, and will follow at a later time.
