Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer
Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer〔Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer's surname is Jenifer. According to Bro. C. Edward Quinn in ''Roots of the Republic: The Signers of the Constitution of the United States'' (Danbury, CT: Grolier Educational, 1996, p. 70), the origin of Jenifer's unusual given name is unknown but it appears frequently in his family. His ancestors included great-grandfather Captain Daniel Jenifer (1637–1692/3) who was a loyalist sheriff in Accomack County, Virginia, during Bacon's Rebellion and who later moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, grandfather Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer (1672–1730), and father, Dr. Daniel Jenifer (c. 1699–1729). Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer had a brother named Daniel Jenifer (1727–1795) who himself had two sons, one named Daniel of St. Thomas who died unmarried and one Dr. Daniel Jenifer (1756–1809). Dr. Daniel Jenifer in turn had sons named Daniel of St. Thomas (1789–1822) and Col. Daniel Jenifer (1791–1855; congressman and ambassador). This Daniel Jenifer also had a son named Daniel and one named Daniel of St. Thomas (1814–1843).〕 (1723 – November 16, 1790) was a politician and a Founding Father of the United States. Born long before conflicts with Great Britain emerged, he was a leader for many years in Maryland's colonial government. However, when conflict arose with Great Britain, he embraced the Patriot cause.
==Early life and colonial career==
Jenifer, born at Coates Retirement (now Ellerslie), an estate west of Port Tobacco in Charles County, Maryland, was the son of a colonial planter of Swedish and English descent. As a young man, he acted as a receiver general, the local financial agent for the last two proprietors of Maryland.
Jenifer served as justice of the peace for Charles County and later for the western circuit of Maryland. He sat on a commission that settled a boundary dispute between Pennsylvania and Delaware〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_founding_fathers_maryland.html#Jenifer )〕 (1760) and on the Governor's Council, the upper house of the Maryland legislature that also served as the colony's court of appeals and as a board of senior advisers to the governor (1773–76).
