• Notes

  We can discover no descendants from any child of John and Anna Ramsey Jefferson except those of Noton. Analysis of the census records of 1820-40 reveal six children in 1820. We can establish only three of them: Nancy, John Jr. and Noton.

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 TurkeyCock 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.
