Genealogy: Online Source, http://www.ferristree.com/jeffrey.htm March 2005 James G. Ferris JEFFREY FERRIS AFN: K7FQ-B5 tradition, has it, was born in LEICESTERSHIRE, England, about 1610 and came to America abou t 1634. [Professional research was accomplished in England, hired by Chaplain Ferris and seve ral associates in an effort to find out something about Jeffrey. Chaplain Ferris felt that th e search was in depth and thorough, but the results were nil. The Parish records of the Leice stershire area did not show the surname Ferris, in any of its various spellings, so there i s no documentation to prove his birth place, birth date or when he came to America. The firs t documentation of Jeffrey occurs when he was made a freeman.] [The New York Times of June 19 37 in an article about the 300th Anniversary of Greenwich CT, states that Greenwich was name d after the English hometown of Jeffrey Ferris. (?)] He was made a freeman at Boston, May 6 , 1635; removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut (owned 45 acres which he sold to John Deming) (a nother source says 13 acres and 54 acres); and from there to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1640/ 1 where he was among the first settlers of that town. He is on the list of those who paid fo r the survey, and received ten acres at the first assignment of land (in the Stamford records , Ferris is recorded as Firries, but there are numerous other examples of misspelled words ; I don't think spelling was their strong suit back then). Jeffrey was included on a list o f pioneers living at Stamford at the end of 1642 as Jeffry Ferris. He later, settled within t he bounds of present Town of Greenwich and in 1656 was one of the eleven Greenwich men who pe titioned to be accepted under the New Haven jurisdiction, where he died May 31, 1666. The name of Jeffrey’s first wife and mother of his known children remains unknown. Much resea rch has been done and speculation abounds, but the actual documentation, such as the page o f the Stamford Town Records, which contains her death record, is worn away. What is legible i s her death date of May 31, 1658. On the tombstone her name has weathered away leaving only ‘ Mary -----ne’. There are some that think her maiden name was Browne, Thorne, or Bowne; a cas e can be made for each because of connections with those families and Jeffrey, but no proof e xists. Several sources, to include Family Tree Maker, list Judy Burns and/or Ann Milton or An ne Howard - as best as I can determine, there is no documentation for these names. In this co mpilation, she remains unknown. From Savage-Collins Origins & Descendants 1630-1960 by R. Thomas Collins, Jr. – Jeffrey marri ed Mary in England. With their first child, Jeffrey and Mary Ferris came to New England in 16 34, with Jeffrey being made a freeman in Watertown the following year. He soon moved to Wethe rsfield, where he stayed for four years. He married second, at Stamford, in May 1661, Susannah (Norman) (AFN: FPHQ-6H) Lockwood, wido w of Sergeant Robert Lockwood [dau of Richard]. She was born 1612, in England and died Decemb er 23, 1661 at Greenwich. [Susannah’s maiden name has also been identified as St. John, Sensi on, Bulkeley or Lockmann.] Jeffrey's marriage contract with Susannah, dated May 28, 1661, ple dges certain legacies to the children of Robert Lockwood-deceased, and mortgages his Greenwic h lands and "housings". (Jim - a prenuptial agreement in 1661?) Jeffrey, married 3d, in 1662 at Stamford, Judith (Feake) Palmer, widow of Lieutenant Willia m Palmer, (not Henry as found in some sources to include Ye Historie of Ye Greenwich) afterwa rds the wife of John Bowers. Judith (Judah) was born circa 1621, London, England and died i n 1667/8, Yarmouth MA [place of death is probably Greenwich]- she was the dau of James & Audr ey (Crompton) Feake, of London. Judith was also niece of Robert Feake, credited as one of th e founders of Greenwich. Soon after Jeffrey’s death, she married John Bowers (See Genealogie s of Long Island Families) Jeffrey's will found on the probate records at Fairfield, is dated January 6, 1664/5. He will s to the four boys he brought up ("four bois which I brought up"), meaning Judith's four youn gest sons (birth dates John-1650/1, James-1652/3, William-1654/5, and Joseph-1656/7) from he r marriage to William Palmer, ten pounds sterling a piece, if they live with any of his child ren until they are eighteen years old, the money then to be put out for them until they are t wenty years of age. His will names also his wife "Judah", meaning Judith, son James, son Jona than Lockwood, and Mary Lockwood (presumably Susannah's children), son Peter's three children , and son Joseph's two. Judith, his widow, receipts for her widow's portion, March 6, 1667. Tradition invests the immigration of this family to this country with the lines of romantic a dventure. The ancestress, who was also high born, followed her lover out into this western wo rld to share with him here the fortunes, which English aristocracy would not allow. (Genealog ical and Family History of Western New York by W.R. Cutter (Vol.III, page 1096) states "Tradi tion tells us that his first wife was of noble birth, marrying against the wishes of her fami ly.") [Jim - there is no documentation to back this up.] The name Ferris is from LEICESTERSHIRE, House of Feriers, Farers, Fereis, Ferrerr, Ferreis, F errers or Ferris, the first member of which (in England) was from Henry de Feriers (Ferrers ) (see separate paper on Henry de Ferrers), son of Guelchelme (Guillaume) (William) de Ferier s, Master of the Horse (Jim - thus the horse shoes on the coat of arms) (most sources say Mas ter of the House, though) of the Duke of Normandy, to whom William the Conqueror gave large g rants of land in the three shires of Stafford, Derby, and Leicester. It is said that Guelchel me de Feriers took an active part in the Battle of Hastings (1066), having invaded England wi th the Conqueror. From Guelchelme de Feriers and William de Ferers, Earl of Derby, descends t he Ferrers of Groby, who bore for their paternal coat of arms gu seven mascles or, a canton e rm, while their Westchester descendants carried gu a fluer de lis or a canton erm with a cres cent for the difference, or multum in florius arte, freely translated is "much in the flower y arts", indicating that the family was distinguished for its love of horticulture. There ar e a couple of variations of the Ferris Coat of Arms as shown. [Jim - several folks have tie d Jeffrey into this group of people. I am not aware of any documentation for this very larg e leap

] In 2002, Alice Wexler, went to England and visited the Records Office in Leicester. She did f ind the record of one Sir John Ferreis, a knight in 1621 married Mary Ratcliffe, in Donington . (Leicestershire Marriage Bonds, Vol. 39, p. 147). Her remarks were: "What this said to me i s that there were Ferrises (spelled Ferrars or Ferrers or in this case Ferreis, though I thin k that’s a misprint of Ferrars) in Leicestershire in the 1600s, so couldn’t Jeffrey have orig inated there as well"? I thank Alice for her research and at least finding a documented possi bility of Jeffrey’s originals.
