James T. Jefferson

James married Sallie Yeatts on 27 Nov 1879 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Sallie was born in c 1849. [Group Sheet]

Noton married Elizabeth Carter on 15 Mar 1830 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Nathan Carter and Elizabeth "Betsy" Adkins) was born in c 1810 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

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.

John married Anna Ramsey on 12 Oct 1800 in Virginia. Anna was born in c 1770. [Group Sheet]

Genforum Notes:
I have a Nathan W. Carter b. 1785 m. Elizabeth Atkins 7/18/1803 Pittsylvania Co., Va, d. 7/3/1857 Pittsylvania Co., Va.

He is listed in the county's 1850 census alive with his wife.

His parent's names could be found by requesting his death certificate from the Virginia Office of Vital Records in Richmond (will always show names of parents, if known).

He is almost certainly a relative of the Pittsylvania Carters, descendants of Capt. Thos. Carter of "Barford", Lancaster Co., Va.

Nathan married Elizabeth "Betsy" Adkins on 18 Jul 1803 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of William Adkins and Mary Hartman) was born after 1780. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She is Betsy Carter in her father's Will

Notes:

Peter Field Jefferson is the first cousin of Thomas Jefferson who was the third president of the United States. Their fathers, Field and Peter Jefferson are the sons of Thomas Jefferson Jr. and his wife Mary Field. Another son, George Jefferson, explored the largely unpopulated area which is now northwestern Pittsylvania County and Franklin County, Virginia. Peter Field brought some of George's land in 1774 and was in the order books as a resident by 1779. When he died in 1794, he left his widow and eleven children, ranging in age from 9 years to 31.

Peterfield married Elizabeth Allen before 1 Apr 1763 in Franklin Co., Virginia. Elizabeth died in 1828 in Virginia. [Group Sheet]
