Should be the descendants of Gideon Jeffers, born S. C., lived in Covington Co., Alabama.

There are several Jeffers and Jeffries in the Old Bradley Cemetery in Escambia County Alabama, I think that area was once in Covington County, Bradley is in the extreme South East Corner of escambia County, The old eastern Trade road from the Creek Indian Nation called the Pensacola Road, on Maps of the time, went from Fort Mitchel near what is now Columbus Ga.. through Bradley on to Florida Town and Pensacola, There was a more western Pensacola Road near the Alabama River, and also a Middle one, The Pensacola road Passing through our area explains why there were so many Indians in this area. Have you done any work on the Genelogy of The Gideon Jeffers Family? I would Like to Correspond with you if so. Could there be another Jeffers Cemetery? Thanks Nathan Chessher
