Michael, your mention of Robert Jefferies/Jefferis in Delaware peaked my interest, so I went there to search.While I found nothing on Robert and family, I did find something that might be of interest to you.
There was a Widow Jefferis found in Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware whose name was listed among the residents who had lived past the age of sixty. The list of names began in the year 1794.Widow Jefferis was aged 67 on that list. It does not list her date of death, but what it tells us is that she was aged 67 in 1794, and that being designated widow, she had lost her husband either in that same year, or before 1794. Calculations also give an approximate year of birth as 1727.
I found a marriage record for a Chaney Jefferis and a Mary Bennett (New Castle Co., Delaware Quaker Marriage Book for Newark/Kennett Monthly Meeting Records Index for 1690-1750).I assume that this Mary Bennett and Widow Jefferis are one and the same.I could find nothing more on either of these individuals.If this Chaney Jefferis is related to the immigrant Robert, it would most likely be through the son who came over with Robert and wife in 1635, as he is the only son that we know of.
Hope this helps you .
