The Jaunceys of New York

Résumé du livre

John Jauncey (d.1767/1768) was the master of a merchant vessel trading between New York and the West Indies, and married twice. Descendants lived in New York, New Jersey, New England, Delaware. His brother, James, a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War, petitioned the New York legislature to have the confiscation orders against his property lifted--which was done (after his death in London), and his sons returned to New York.
