Gary and Francis, there is a book written by Harriet Scofield, "A Genealogy of the Ferris Family, Decendants of Zachariah Ferris". She is a descendant of Jeffrey Ferris and in doing her research, she had to do both Jeffrey and Zachariah just to keep them sepearated, as they were both in the same area of Connecticut and New York. Zachariah's father was Samuel and never left England. This was proven by a professional genealogist in England hired by a group of Jeffrey and Zachariah Ferris descendants. They found Samuel but could find NO trace of Jeffrey. No one has ever found a connection between Jeffrey and Zachariah. Hope this helps straighten out the two families. John
