My GG Grandfather had an older brother whose name was Basil Jefferson. He was born February 27, 1797, in Amelia County, he grew up and married in North Carolina and spent most of his adult life in Georgia where he is buried. He left many descendants there. If this is the same person you are seeking, you and I are some kind of cousins and we can and will be glad to shower you with information concerning our common ancestors. Yes, there were other Jeffersons in Amelia County at the time Basil was born...John Garland Jefferson for one and many descendants from that branch still live there as well as Texas. Our branch came from Middlesex County, Virginia, with our earliest record dating back to 1718. Looking forward to hearing from you.. Hugh Jefferson Dallas, Texas hujeff@msn.com

Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/575 Surname: ------------------------- Was looking over the Amelia site and saw your post. There were many plantations in Amelia during the 1800s, especially if you define a plantation as any farm with slaves living and working on it. Egglestetton, Dykeland, Locust Drive, Winnerham, Glenmore are some of the biggest that come to mind.
