Note: He is called "my very good gossip" by Morton in a letter from
the latter, a fact sometimes cited to show they were intimates,
but negatived apparently by his subscription for the expulsion
of Morton.

Note: The inscription on his tombstone is as follows: "Here lyeth
interred the body of Wm. Jeffray, Gent. who departed this life
on the 2nd day of Jany., 1675, in the 85th year of his age."

"Since every tomb an epitaph can have,
The Muses owe their tribute to this grave.
And to succeeding ages recommend
His worthy name who lived and died their friend;
Being full of days and virtues, love and peace,
God from his troubles gave him a release,
And called him unto the celestial place.
Where happy souls view their Creator's face.

Vivit post funera Virtus."

Note: He had a legacy of 10 shillings to buy a ring, by the will of
his brother-in-law Hugh Evans, of London.

Note: He was appointed on a commission to make a rate for a levy of
150 pounds, for the prison, pound and stocks and mounting of
great guns.
