Home Places of Jehoiada and A.C. Jeffery (Mount Olive)

Today we struck out without any specific place in mind to visit. We ended up finding both the old homeplace of Jehoiada Jeffery, one of the earliest pioneers of the county, and the homeplace of his son, A.C. (Augustus Curren) Jeffery...who was actually born in the old Jehoiada Jeffery cabin.

It's actually in the National Register, Paula.

The ruins of the Jehoida Jeffery cabin are significant as well. Schoolcraft actually visited the Jefferys that cabin.

The Jeffery Cemetery is just across the pasture from the Jehoida Jeffery cabin...we'll get it another time. It's also in the register.
