William Jeffries, a gentleman of ed- 
ucation. He was born at Chudding- 
ly Manor, County Sussex, England, 
and matriculated July 7, 1603, as 
sizar of Caius College, Cambridge. 
He took his degree of B.: A. at 
graduation in 1606, and his M. A. 
four years later. His father, 
was a merchant in London, died in 
1161, and his mother then moved 
to London. . 
“The exact date of the arrival of 
William Jeffries in America is not 
known, but as he was at Wey- 
mouth in September, 1623, he prob- 
ably came about that time with the 
Robert Gorges party. Waters states 
that in 1630 he was reckoned one of 
the principal men of that hamlet. 
Just when he went to Cape Ann we 
do not know, but the theory of the 
speaker is that, as he was engaged 
extensively in fisheries he, while 
still a resident of Weymouth, had 
flakes or other appliances connected 
with the fishing industry at Cape 
Ann, Jeffries Neck (at Ipswich), 
Jeffries Creek (Manchester), and 
the Isle of Shoals, as Phippen men- 
tions. Waters speaks of him as the 
first Englishman whose name_ has 
been preserved at Ipswich,  al- 
though it is not known that he was 
ever a resident there. Great Neck 
was called Jeffries Neck from the 
very beginning, and we shall see 
that as late as 1666 he claimed own- 
ership of this property and _ his 
claim was sustained. 
“According to the Massachusetts 
Bay Records of April- 21, 1629, 
William Jeffryes, gent. and “Wil- 
liam Blaston,” (ales were ‘“author- 
ised to putt John Oldham in pos- 
session” of land granted to him on 
the banks of the Charles River. 
(v. I, p. 398.) 
“At the time when the staid New 
Englanders were shocked by the 
revelries at Merry Mount, Morton 
wrote the following letter to Wil- 
liam Jeffries :-— 
“My very good goffip! If I
