Their fathers, Field and Peter Jefferson are the sons of Thomas Jefferson Jr. and his wife Mary Field.

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.
Sam, Chance, Pompey, Phillis, Pal and Sary 7 8000

In May, 1774, George Jefferson, of Lunenburg, sells to Peter
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

Page 182.

following children: Sons Field Jefferson, John Jefferson, Samuel A.
Jefferson, Alexander Jefferson, Archer Jefferson, dec'd, and Thomas
Jefferson, dec'd; daughters Patsy Brewer and Judith Jefferson. From
the marriage Register we find that on Feb. 27, 1806, Thomas Jefferson
married Elizabeth Ball. Feb. 20, 1808, Alexander Jefferson married
Elizabeth Smith. Alexander Jefferson's will is dated 1837 and
probated 1838.

A grandson of Alexander Jefferson, Col. David Alexander Jefferson, of Chatham, Virginia is a prominent member of his family to-day.

Peterfield married Elizabeth Allen 29 May 1762, Cumberland County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Samuel Allen and Martha Archer) was born 7 Dec 1739, Cumberland County, Virginia; died 7 May 1828, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Name:
I have a copy of a letter that states, "In 1927 I went to a small cemetery on the side of a hill near Mendota VA, containing only three tombstones: John Kendrick died 17 July 1810, Jeremiah Galvin, died 9 Feb 1830: and Elisha Kennedy, died 20 Mar 1854. I don't know whether this cemetery is still in existence. There is on listing for it in McConnell's HIGH ON A WINDY HILL or in Peterson's SCOTT COUNTY VA CEMETERY RECORDS. The three men whose stones were in the cemetery were successively the husbands of Elizabeth (Summers) Kendrick Galvin Kennedy. She is buried in Somerset, Pulaski Co, KY. Where her tombstone reads: Elizabeth Kennedy, died 26 Nov 1857, age 76 yrs old."
The letter does give children born to Elizabeth Summer and husband Jeremian Galvin, Elizabeth Summer & Elisha Kennedy. I have never researched this information

Both Joseph and William are Qualified as Executors (Book 6/170 Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Court Records 1787-91)
Another record dated 22 Mar 1796 for William Reynolds and Charles Lewis must be our William, as the other William Reynolds of Culpepper has died in 1791. No connecton has been documented for William of Culpepper having any connection to the Hugh Reynolds family. -Mary Frances Reynolds
