Right, I had it from the 1785 Vulgar Tongue and as OneLook did not give it and the Worthless did not give I thought it might be hard to find. My Webster I forgot to check and that's dumb as it often has the one thing no one else has.

Jazey A wig; a corruption of Jersey, and so called because they are made of Jersey flax and fine wool. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. Slang in 1811 JAZEY. A bob wig.

My Webster is: Webster's Online Dictionary with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation. I like it.

(not knowing it also exits as 'jasey').
