DeWitt "Snuffy" Jenkins (October 27, 1908 – April 29, 1990) was an American banjo player and an early proponent of the three-finger banjo style. Jenkins was born in Harris, North Carolina, as the last of ten children. He began playing the fiddle as a plucked instrument, switched to guitar and later to a home made banjo he and his brother Verl had built. He bought his first real banjo in 1927, and soon fell under the influence of Smith Hammett and Rex Brooks, two early banjo players who did much for the development of Jenkins' style.
