We are looking for any and all information on a  Clara JEFFRIES, last known 
address of 634 Linwood St, Camden, NJ in July 1895.
 
This woman signed as a witness to the Civil War Pension for the widow of
Thomas W. Russell.
 
If you have any JEFFRIES in the NJ/PA/NY/DE area in the time of 1870-1910 
would you please let me know.  
      Thanks

     Sorry, Ed, I can't see any connection based on the
additional information you gave me.  Especially I haven't run
across the name Clara, which seems to play a definite role in
your JEFFRIES/RUSSELL group.
  
     For what it may be worth in terms of future research, here is
what little I do have on JEFFERIS:
  
  -  John P. JEFFERIS, born 1826 in Pennsylvania; clerk with the
Treasury Department in Washington, DC, 1880; died in 1896; buried
in Hackensack Cemetery, Hackensack, NJ.
  
  -  His wife, Mary A. _____, born March 1831 in Pennsylvania; had
three children, of whom two were living in 1900; living in
Washington, DC, in 1880 and in Midland Twp., Bergen Co., NJ, in
1900; died 1905; buried in Hackensack Cemetery.
  
  -  Daughter Anna F. JEFFERIS, born about 1855, PA; married _____
STOAT before 1880; living with parents in Washington, DC, in 1880
(no husband or children listed); no further information.
  
  -  Daughter Helen Mortimer JEFFERIS, born August 1860, PA;
married Edward Denison EASTON 24 May 1883 in Washington, DC; was a
music teacher at the time of her marriage; died 10 Jan 1943;
buried in Hackensack Cemetery.
  
  -  I know nothing about the third child at this time.
  
  -  Possible brother or cousin of John P.: Mortimer T. JEFFERIS,
D.D., born 1832, died 1906; as of 1883, minister, Protestant
Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Long Island; buried Hackensack
Cemetery.
  
     I haven't attempted to trace this family in Pennsylvania, or
even in DC before 1880, so I know nothing about their origins or
the date they left PA, except that it must have been between 1860
and 1880.  I presume Helen and her parents moved to New Jersey in
the 1890s, when Edward D. EASTON returned to Midland Twp. from DC;
I have no idea when Mortimer T. moved to the New York area.
  
     Hope this turns out to be of some help, somehow.  Sorry I
didn't have more for you. ... Sue Budlong in Falls Church, VA
