| Headstone for the Jeffs family showing the final resting place for James Jeffs (1838 - 1916) and his wife, Sarah Jane (Maines) Jeffs (1845 - 1931) |
James Jeffs was born in Armagh, Ireland in 1838 and arrived in Canada at age 3 in 1841. He married Sarah Jane Maines on November 11, 1863 at age 25.
Sarah Jane Maines was born in Ontario, Canada in 1845 and together with James they had at least eight children. [See the James and Sarah Jeffs family portrait posted here at The Prism on June 12, 2013.]
James and Sarah are the 2x great grandparents of my wife and the 3x great grandparents of my two sons. James died in Campbellford, Ontario, Canada on November 26, 1916 and Sarah died on February 9, 1931 in Seymour Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada.
