Thank you for your help, I didn't want to be boring.
This Richard (II) Jeffery was born in Lamberhurst, Kent in 1784 to Richard (I) and Abigail (Buss). According to a family history written as part of a pioneer school centennial in 1942, Richard (II) and his father (also Richard) came to Canada with Prince Edward Augustus in 1791, returned to Kent in 1799. While in Canada he designed gardens in Halifax, Nova Scotia and possibly Montmorency House, Quebec. Again according to family papers (not documented) Richard II son, came to Canada with his family (Wife, Elizabeth Stone, and sons John, 1813, Alfred, 1814 and Richard III 1818) along with the household of Sir Peregrine Maitland when he came as Lt. Gov. of Upper Canada in August 1818. Richard II is said to have created the rose gardens for him at his country house near Niagara Falls (Stamford).
Richard II bought land in Vaughan Township, Ontario, just north of Toronto, in 1825 and that is easily documented. I am trying to find out who Elizabeth was - possibly related to the Girdlestones of Norfolk as the youngest son was baptized in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk by the vicar, John Girdlestone. Family legend has it that she was a titled lady, but I've found nothing to support that.
Richard II's son John was baptized in East Grinstead, Alfred in Lamberhurst and Richard in Upper Sheringham.
Richard I, father, and Abigail Buss were married in Lamberhurst in 1781. I think he as born in Wadhurst in 1755. I have no record of Abigail's birth yet. If my search is correct, this Richard's father was John and his mother Anne Cheesman. Death records note this John and I think one of his sons as being gardiners. It gets very confusing with so many Johns and Richards.
