Arke bought a piece of land from his father in 1789 and sold it back to him in
1792. In the meantime he moved to Somers which is 8 miles north. The town of Somers was incorporated in July, 1734, by Massachusetts. It was annexed to Connecticut in May, 1749. Somers was formerly called East Enfield. Perhaps his
wife was from there.
In 1800 he leased the land to his father as follows:
This lease of land made by John Jenks of Ellington on the one part and Arke Jenks of Somers on the other part is set forth. That I the said Arke Jenks lease to the said John Jenks one certain piece of land lying in Ellington with buildings thereon containing about forty two acres; being the place the said John Jenks now lives; for the consideration and terms as follows. The said John Jenks is to have the full and peaceable improvement of the above property during his natural life to use and improve according to good husbandry. The said Arke Jenks is to have winter apples, and a privilage to make some cider for his own use. For the above consideration the said John Jenks is to have the enjoyment of the same so long as God may be pleased to lengthen out his natural life. Dated 7th day of March 1800. Recorded May 19th 1802.
Arke, in addition to the three transactions above, sold property to Joseph Braman (his brother in law), Solomon Fuller and Alijah Sawen.
The following land deeds are recorded in Somers:

In 1808, with Major Gere they started a business of manufacturing linseed oil. They built a factory or mill that burned down in 1840. All that remains are the two great "crushing stones" that lie on the ground at the side of the mill. They settled in Ellington, Conn and are listed in the 1790 census.In 1800 Arke bought the home of his father. In 1833 he was at Sauquoit NY,later at Conneaut, Ohio.
Arke Jenks apparently purchased his father, John's home in Ellington, CT, in 1800, though it seems unlikely that he remained there long, as most of his children were born near Paris and Sauquoit, Oneida Co., NY, where Arke appears in the 1810 census. The Jenks Genealogy cites the following passage from "History of Town of Paris, Oneida Co., NY", by Henry Rogers (no year given),: "Next below the Farmer's Factory (now the upper paper mill) was the oil mill of ARK JENKS, erected by him on the east bank, in the year 1803. In 1808 Major William Gere was associated with him and they carried on an extensive business in the manufacture of linseed oil, made from crushing flax-seed with large circular stones (similar to mill stones) which were propelled around in a circular trough, from which the oil was expressed by a press, the "oil-cake" being disposed of to the farmers for feed for their stock. At that early day the pioneers raised flax in large quantities and from it fabrics were spun at home. But a few years later, the establishment of cotton factories whose production took the place of the tow and linen fabrics, caused the settlers to abandon the raising of flax, and there was no more flax-seed to supply the oil mill, which then ceased operations. The old oil mill stood for many years. About the year 1840 it was burned down.
