Jefferson lived at the forks of the road on Meade Branch where the
Carterton
Road crosses the Valley Road. He engaged in stock raising on a large
scale &
became one of the walthiest men in Russell Co. His real estate was
valued at
$8,000 in the 1850 census. He owned slaves and regularly drove large
numbers
of export cattle to Baltimore. He not only used his several farms in
Reeds
Valley for raising cattle, but took up large boundaries of forest land
on the
waters of Lick and Frying Pan creeks for range land. During the Civil
War,
his son Mack, together with a Dean and a Barnett, went into Kentucky
and
purchased a large number of cattle for which they gave in payment
bonds
purported to have been signed by Jefferson Jessee. The traders lost
heavily
on the sale of the cattle, and the Kentucky holders of the bonds
enforced
collection. This resulted in the insolvency of Jefferson and his
family. A
number of lawsuits ensued after his death, and all of his property was
sold to
satisfy the claims. Nancy joined the Castlewood Baptist Church in
1836, and
Jefferson on 9/22/1842. He is buried at their homeplace in Reeds
Valley.

He joined Capt McElheny's Co, the first company to leave Russell Co.
for the
war front in 1861. He was at home on furlough recuperating from a
wound in
the neck when his brother, Stanford, was brought home for burial in
Reeds
Valley. Later Jefferson rejoined his command and took part in the
Gettysburg
Campaign. As flag carrier in Pickett's famous charge up Little Round
Top, he
was shot down, got up, advanced with the flag flying and was shot down
again.When his comrade, Henry Steele, reached him, he found Jefferson shot
through
both thighs. Seven men had already been killed carrying this flag on
that
fatal day. Soon the retreat was ordered and the tide of battle poured
back
over the slopes littered with the dead and dying. Jefferson was never
again
seen by his comrades. His bones sleep on that battlefield, the Battle
of
Gettysburg. - Jim Jessee diskette.
