In 1848 the JEFFERY family came to Wisconsin, and settled at Hazel Green, where Mr. JEFFERY engaged in lead mining. In 1849 he migrated to California, where he worked in the gold mines for two years, and being fairly successful, on his return bought a farm in Lafayette county, near Benton, where his son Thomas now resides. Until within a few years prior to his death Mr. JEFFERY followed an agricultural life. He then moved to Jefferson, where he lived retired, dying in 1880, his wife surviving until 1899. Both were consistent members of the M. E. Church, in the work of which Mr. JEFFERY took a leading part. Politically he was a stanch Republican all his life, and held a number of local offices in the town of Benton, where he was a popular and leading man, although the town was strongly Democratic. Mr. and Mrs. Francis JEFFERY reared a family of seven sons and one daughter, our subject being the eldest. William, born in Cornwall, England, in 1844, grew up on the farm, married Emma MORLEY, of Lafayette county, and has one daughter; he resides in Hazel Green, where he is engaged in dealing in agricultural implements; he was a soldier in the Civil war. Francis, born in Cornwall in 1845, grew up in Lafayette county, married in Colorado, where he now resides, a successful miner, and has one daughter, Stella. T. J., born in Lafayette county in 1847, married Elizabeth KITTOE, and resides on the old homestead, which he owns; he has three children, Edwin, John and May. George, born in Lafayette county, in 1849, married Charlotte LUKEY, of Hazel Green, where he died in 1898, leaving three children, Frank, Charlotte and Maud. Emily, born in Lafayette county in 1850, is the wife of John R. JAMES, of Hazel Green, and has two children, Lottie A. and Henry. Edwin, born in 1851, was educated in a business college of Dubuque, and when still a young man entered the employ of the Marquette & Mackinac Railway Co., of Michigan; in a short time he was promoted to the position of auditor of this road, but his health failing he removed to Colorado, where he died Jan. 6, 1888, regretted by his employers and all who knew him. Joseph P., born in Lafayette county in 1853, went to Michigan, and engaged in hotel-keeping in the Iron Mountains there until one year ago, when he moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
** The woman that the eldest son married was Emma Jane Moralee, daughter of Michael Moralee and Sarah Beavan Moralee, who are buried in Oaklland, California, and whose memorials are found on Findagrave. Emma and William Jeffery had two children, Nellie Belle in about 1870 and William in about 1872, both born in Wisconsin.
