THE JEFFERSON FAMILY OF PITTSYLVANIA
COUNTY.

Communicated by Mrs. N. E. Clement, Chatham, Va.

In number 3 of Vol, XXII., in an account of the Allen family,
mention is made of he marriage of Elizabeth Allen to Field Jefferson,
mother of Col. Peter Jefferson, of Albemarle. Field Jefferson's
will, dated 1762, is filed at Mecklenburg Courthouse, and in it he
names four sons, viz.: Thomas, Peter Field, George and John.

George Jefferson patented large bodies of land in Pittsylvania
County, a part of which he later sold to his brother Peter Feld.

In the first lists of tithables taken in Pittsylvania County we
find,
"List of Tithables taken by George Jefferson in Pittsylvania
County, Camden Parish, Year 1767."

In list occurs following items:

"George Jefferson (Mecklenburg)
John Davis, Overseer, and negroes (to wit), Land
Tithes Acres.

Field Jefferson, of Mecklenburg, for L120, 409 acres on Turkey
Cock Creek, Pittsylvania Co.

For L60, 321 acres on Sailor's Creek, Pittsylvania Co.
For L500, 1005 acres on Turkey Cock Creek, Pittsylvania.

Again in 1776, he sells him 140 acres in Pittsylvania. Peter
Field Jefferson must have soon after this removed to Pittsylvania
County to live, for in 1779 we find him selling 380 acres for L350
to Elisha Walker, and in the deed giving his place of residence as
Pittsylvania County. There is no will of Peter Field Jefferson
recorded in Pittsylvania, but there is one of his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth Jefferson, dated 1828. In it she mentions

Peyton Carter
There is a George Carter, who inherits land in the will of Richard Womack at Gilly's [possibly Grilly] Mill in Henrico County, Virginia (in a part that later became part of Chesterfield County, VA)in 1725. It seems likely that George Carter was Womack's son-in-law. He then immediately sold this land to Thomas Jefferson II (grandfather of the future President). Jefferson bequeathes this land in his will, written in 1725 to his daughter Judith Farrar, wife of George Farrar. (This land was adjacent to additional lands that were owned by Matthew Ligon, father of Richard Ligon, 1745 - 1820, of Amelia/Nottoway.) About 1760, the Farrars sold this land and moved to Mecklenburg to be near Judith's brother, Field Jefferson.

Thomas married Mary Virginia Field. Mary (daughter of Peter Field and Judith Soane) was born 3 Feb 1679, Henrico Co., Virginia Colony; died 13 Apr 1715, Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. [Group Sheet]
