The Jeffery Cemetery information was taken from a scale drawing found among the papers of William Jeffery. When the drawing was made and by whom is not known. It was drawn on fine linen paper using brown ink and the handwriting looks very much like that of Francis Jeffery J.P., of Washington Township, 1850’s and 1860’s. I was told that very little of this cemetery still remains
The above information was given by Robert Jeffery, great grandson of Francis Jeffery.

The Jeffery Cemetery is located on the farm now owned by Ralph Stolle, formerly a part of the original farm where Francis Jeffery settled in 1816.
