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.
