I am researching the connection between my ancestors and the other Jeffers I find in Fowler and Rossie in the 1850s. I have a marriage certificate that states my ancestor William Hiram Jeffers married Mariah St. John in Fowler, 8 Dec. 1851.

William was the son of James Jeffers (Jeffryes, Jeffries, etc.) and Nancy (or Polly) Foote, both coming from England, but their residence in NY is unknown.

Family records also show the children of William and Mariah were:

Henry Walton Jeffers, b. 24 Dec 1851
*Hiram Washington Jeffers was born 25 Feb 1853 in Rossie
Amous Nelson, b. 4 Aug 1855, d. 27 Mar 1859
Margaret Amealyer, b. 25 Sep 1857, d. 2 May 1858
Alfhard Andrew, b. 2 Mar 1859
William Franklin, b. 3 Jul 1861
Stephen Bradford, b. 3 Aug 1863
Nettie Maria b. 14 Sep 1865 in Redfield, Oswego Co
Martha Eliza b. 10 Oct 1868 in Redfield, Oswego Co

*my ancestor.

Does anyone know anything about this Northern NY line of Jeffers? Most of the family later moved farther south to Oneida County.
