Old Jefferson


Jefferson map 3

Originally uploaded by lorbsel

Sometime in 1802 or early 1803, Robert Weakley and Thomas Bedford laid out the Town of Jefferson in the forks of the Stones River, and began selling lots. Some of the early purchasers of land in Jefferson were: Michael Snyder who purchased lot # 56, Robert Kanady (Kennedy) purchased lot # 6 and Bradley Gambrel purchased lots 84 and 80.

Thanks to Carson for sharing pictures of an original map of the town of Jefferson!
