Hi Karen
I've just come across information in a book about Port Washington which states that Edward J Fearon was partners with a William H Jenks from 1866 to 1873 in the dock building business. The only William H Jenks in New York in the census is living in Dutchess County, but he is listed as a painter in 1860 at the same time that Edward J Fearon is also listed as a painter.
In the 1880 census both Stephen A Jenks and Edward J Fearon are living in Port Washington listed as dock builders.
