Youngest brother of John Jauncy (b. 1608; d. 1666), gentleman, of Whittwicke in the parish of Stretton Grandison in Herefordshire, who predeceased James Jauncy. Genealogical sources state that John Jauncy married Anne Lisle (b. 1618; d. 1660), daughter of Francis Lisle, ca. 1639.[3]

Describes himself in his will, proved in 1675, as "James Jancy of Cateaton street in the Parish of Saint Laurence in the old Jewry Citizen and Grocer of London".[5]

The Grocers' hall was located in the Old Jewry. The presence of the Grocers' Hall attracted a number of members of the Grocers' company to reside in the parish of Saint lawrence Jewry.

James Jauncy was related to Thomas Jauncy (alt. Jauncey) (b. ca. 1619; d. bef. 1656), who was also a grocer. It is unclear what the relationship was, but was close enough for James Jauncey to have been the attorney of Mr. Thomas Marsh, the administrator of Mr. Thomas Jauncey, deceased.[6]

Thomas Jauncey gave personal answers in the High Court of Admiralty on May 1st 1651 in a case concerning the voyage of the Jonathan and Abigall to Barbados and Virginia.[7] Thomas Jauncy also deposed in a criminal case in the High Court of Admiralty, describing himself as a merchant, resident in the parish of Saint Lawrence Jewry.

There is also a record of a case in the Court of Chancery dated 1649 in which a thirty year old Thomas Jauncy "citizen and grocer of London" was deposed. In his Chancery deposition Thomas Jauncy states that he had been servant and apprentice to Michael Charlton of London, grocer. The case concerned the shipment of goods to Virginia.[8]

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

James Jauncy, grocer and citizen of London, deposed in the High Court of Admiralty on Nov 8th 1658. He was responding to an allegation made on behalf of Watson and How in the case of "Warren against Watson and How." There had been two prior deponents on the same day in the same case - Simon Messinger, a forty year old cooper of Shadwell in Middlesex and John Goodman a thirty-four year old cooper of Saint Catherin Colman.[9]

Jauncy's testimony concerned the tonnage of Virginia hogsheads of tobacco and the relative space taken up by hogsheads of Virginia tobacco versus hogsheads of wine.

Jauncy attested to his own expertise, saying that he had used the trade of Virginia and other tobaccoes as a freeman and apprentice for "theise seaventeene yeares last".

He signed himself James Jauncÿe, with an "e" after the "ÿ", in contrast with the spelling of his name by the notary public in the High Court of Admiralty, who rendered his surname without a final "e".
