Here are copies of the signatures of some of my relatives that I have written about:James MacFadden from the 1860s. The W.M. below his signature stands for "Worthy Master." He was a Master in the Masons.
Andrew Jeffrey from a letter he wrote in 1831 to his father-in-law, James Hall
Agnes Moscrip Jeffrey from the 1870s, signed in her daughter Jessie's date book
Jennie E. Jeffrey, signed at the end of the first letter she wrote to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Agnes Morck, written a month and a half before their wedding in 1925
Henry Jeffrey's signature at the end of his "Last Will and Testament", signed March 15, 1945, 9 months after the death of his wife, Jennie
James Leonard Jeffrey, signed at the end of his Will, dated October 3, 1944.

Love it, Dad. I've been thinking much about how great our heritage is and what a "great cloud of saints" we are following. It makes me feel so much encouraged and urgent to press on in this life towards Christ. Thank you for all the work you are putting into this.
I love to see that they were all writing our last name...Jeffrey. There was something so 'connecting' to see that. Somehow it made me feel more 'related' to the people of these great stories you've written out for us.
Hi,
Not sure if you still maintain this blog, but wanted to get in touch. I found your blog in a search for info about the Jeffrey family -- turns out Jennie Jeffrey and my great grandmother Minnie MacFadden were sisters.
I have a question about Donald Jeffrey, who died in Toronto in 1960.
Do you have other pictures of the MacFaddens? Do you know by chance the house number of the family home on Huron Street in Stratford?
Many thanks,
Carla Douglas
