Wilbur D. Spencer in his "Pioneers on Maine Rivers", Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1973, states:
o Page 206, JENKINS, REGINALD, born 1608, surgeon, arrived from England with Winter March 2, 1632-3; bought a house at Eliot of John Newgrove, 1650; wife Ann; children Jabez, Mary, Philadelphia, Sarah and Stephen.
o Page 157, JENKINS, REYNOLD, trader at Dorchester, 1630; killed by Indians while trading inland from Cape Porpoise, in September, 1632.
James Savage in "A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England", Vol II, pages 541-2, states: JENKINS, or JENKIN, o REGINALD, Dorchester 1630, is probably the man,who removed says Winth. I, 89, to Cape Porpus, there was killed by Indians 1632.
o REGINALD, Kittery, who submitted 1652, to the jurisdiction of Massachusetts; removed to Dover, there by wife Ann had Philidelphia, who married 14 June 1676, Matthew Estes. He may have been the son of the preceding.
Charles Henry Pope in "The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire, 1623-1660", page 109, discussed Reginald Jenkins, yeoman, one of the fishermen at Richmond Island in 1637, settled at Kittery, took oath, etc. Pope mentions daughter Philadelphia and sons Stephen and Jabez.

RE: Snow-Estes Ancestry
At Kittery Me., Reginald Jenkins testified in 1683 that "between forty and fifty years since," that is, earlier than 1643, he bought "six acres of Land of John Newgrove, beginning at the water side between the Lands of Thomas Jones and Joshua Downing." Jenkins built a house and lived here for a while land after the death of William Everett he offered th place to his widow, in the charity of his hearet, but the widow seems to have been too proud to receive it as a gift, as a deposition her daughter Martha, afterward Nathan Lord's wife, shows. At the age of forty-two, she testifies that "when she was little,, her mother having ten shillings of her, as the Deponent heard my mother say, which money the Deponents Mother Margaret Everett layd out for six acres of Land which she bought of Renald Jenkins, which Land this Deponents husband would nto accept of, upon ye refusall wrof the Deponents Mother gave him a steere in lew wrof and her Mother sould that six Acres of Land to Mr. Will Leighton." Did Boaz treat Ruth any better than friend Jenkins did this little fatherless child and her mother? As early as 1634, he was in the service of John Winter at Richmond's Island, and was living here on the Newickawaunock at 1640 and is lmentioned in 1683. He was affiliated with the Quakers from the beginning of their preaching in Dover and Kittery, and he and the neighboring Friends were more than once presented at court for not attending the services of the church on the Lord's Day. History of Nathan Lord of Kittery, ME Page 2 March 8, 1671-2. Abram Tilton conveys to Miles Thomson, Sr., and Israel Hodgdon, "all that tract of upland and meadow bought of Nathan Lord . . . forty acres lying at the east end of the heathy marsh and which was granted unto Reginald Jenkins by the town of Kittery." The meadow was formerly in the possession of Jenkins.

From David Jenkins in response to my questions about the other Ann Gale family in England.
I have seen this before, and they may or may not our family , but they do have Ann Gale's death place as Kittery Maine. As the LDS, I'm not sure in which one to believe in Reginald left England and came to America on the 'Agnes' sailed sometime after March 26, 1636, with John Winter, master, and arrived May 24, 1636. The 'Agnes' returned to England in June with a Captain Bowes as master. The passengers were: Reverend Richard Gibson, an Anglican minister from Cambridge, who was at Richmond Island; Arthur Gill of Saltash, Cornwall, at Richmond Island; Peter Gullett, at Richmond Island and died later in 1636; Andrew Heifer, at Richmond Island; Reynold Jenkins, who may have come from Broomfield, Somerset, was at Kittery; and, John Lopes and Tobias Short, who were at Richmond Island and probably returned to England. Reginald was indentured to Winter, fishing on Richmond Island, the men in Winter's employ 'there were forty-seven in 1637'slept in one of these chambers, and each man had his close-boarded cabin or bunk. Reginald was living here on the Newichawannock (South Berwick, Maine) about 1640 Reginald Reynolds Jenkins was affiliated with the Quakers from the beginning of their preaching in Dover, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine and he and neighboring 'Friends' (Quakers) were more than once presented at Court for not attending the services of the church on the Lord's Day. Reginald, settled in Kittery, Maine (Eliot, Maine) 1647, and took oath of allegence to Massassachusetts goverment on November 16,1652. As a quaker,in 1652, Reginald was petitioned to be under Massachusetts 'We whose names are written vunder do acknowledg our selves subject to the government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England' maybe his family didn't come to America until he became a freeman, this could cause the confusion, or other poss. is that they reported the births back to England. I have seen this often when two towns or more have been reported to be the birthplace of the same person. So at this time i am sticking with Ann Gale is the wife, Edward and Joan as the parents since the above story (Reynold Jenkins, who may have come from Broomfield, Somerset,) seem to point at this is our true ancestor, [but please continue letting me know more of your theories, because maybe we will solve this
