I'm so thrilled to see the discussion on these families. I am descended from James Norman Jeffries whose second wife was Susan Lucinda Jarvis. One of my concerns is a third marriage for James N. Jeffries. On his death certificate a wife named Katherine reported his death. His second wife, Susan Lucinda, outlived him by many years so he would have had to divorce her to marry a third time. I can find no record of his marrying a third time. Also, family lore has it that James N. Jeffries worked as a stonemason on the Weston State Hospital. Can anyone shed any light on this information? I'd really appreciate it if you could add to my data and check for errors: Ephraim Jeffries, child of James Jeffries and Alice Anderson, md.

Susan was born to Amos Jarvis and Sarah E. ? I'd love to have her birth and death dates and the last name of her mother. I've been told this Jarvis family connects with the Jarvis who founded Mother's Day but I haven't found the connection. Does anyone know how or if they connect? CHILDREN: 1) Amos J.
