From an article in the March 25 2003 special section of the Upper Dauphin
Sentinal Newspaper:

"Many area residents have French Ancestry"
Submitted by Dr. Lewis Jury, a former resident of the area.  

My family settled in what is now Millersburg in 1754.  The original
farmstead was the area where the Wiconisco Creek enters the Suspquehanna
River.  

The family is of French Huguenot descent and came to Pennsylvania from
Switzerland (the adopted home of many Huguenots after france issed the
recovation of the edict of Nantes and the slaughter of French Protestants
began anew) through Rotterdam on the good ship Nancy, to the port of
Philadelphia.  

Abraham Joray (Jury) arrived with his faimly including two sons Abraham and
Samuel.

Abraham Sr. and son Samuel served in the Revolutionary War together.  

They returned to Millersburg and their descendants still live throughout the
valley.  

The Jury name went through many spelling changes in the generation following
Abraham Sr. because of the German language influence in "the vlley" and
because the Jury family attended German speaking Protestant chruches.

Hence, baptismal records show some Jury babies being baptized by the German
speaking and writing ministers as Schurrah, Shora, Shory, etc. 

 But one generation later the spelling returned to using the "J" and not the
German "Sch" sound.  "Jury" became the accepted and dominant spelling,
continuing with all Jury Descendants across the country.  

I might point out that many of the families in "the valley" who consider
themselves to be Pennsylvania Dutch are actually of Huguenot descent, such
as Ferree, Willier, etc."
