Notes

"Hello - I am a descendant of Arstilla (Gatewood) Anderson and have done some research on the family. I think it is safe to say that Arstilla died after 5 March 1870. I have a photocopy of a supplemental petition filed in Apr of 70 in Menard Co., IL, where it is recorded that "on the 5th day of March 1870, the said Charles H. Anderson died testate, after having devised his interest in the premises hereinafter described to ---------(a number of names) ----- to be divided equally among them when sold, that afterwards, the said Arstilla Anderson died intestate, leaving as her heirs at law" etc. I don't know the date of the original petition, but the need for the supplemental petition arose when these two original petitioners died. My cousin, ____, says that this petition was filed on 25 March 1870, and I'm wondering if the April date that appears on the outside of the document may be the date that it was recorded in the county record book, not the date that the case was filed in court. In which case Arstilla would have died between the 5th and the 25th of March, 1870. I have searched without success for Arstilla's grave in the vicinity of Athens, IL."

Buckner, Chaudoin, Penick, Haskins, Cox, Thomas

#10433: Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, Volume 5, 4th edition, 1886, Taylor Co. CAPT. RODOPHIL E. JETER was born November 30, 1821, and is the sixth of nine children born to Anderson and Sorrow S. (Allen) Jeter, natives of Amelia and Cumberland Counties, Va., and of English and Irish descent, respectively.

Anderson Jeter was born September 11, 1786, and his marriage occurred December 1, 1809. Upon the breaking out of the war of 1812, he recruited a camp of volunteers at Chinquain Church, Amelia County, Va., of which camp he was commissioned captain, and after
the battle of Norfolk, Va., was promoted to be major. Soon after the close of the war, in 1816, he removed with his family to Green County, Ky., and bought some 700 acres of land, upon which he resided until his death November 20, 1842. He owned a large number of slaves in addition to his real estate; but suffered severe financial losses by endorsing too freely for his friends. For many years he was colonel in the old State militia.

His father, Randolphil Jeter, Sr., was also born in Old Virginia, where he represented his country for six consecutive terms in the Legislature, and was a veteran in the Revolutionary war, attaining to the rank of colonel.

Mrs. Sorrow S. (Allen) Jeter was born May 13, 1790, and departed this line in December, 1842. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, and afterward of the Baptist Church. Her father, John Allen, was also a native of the Old Commonwealth. Her maternal grandfather was the Hon. John Austin, who was one of the wealthiest planters in Virginia, and owned also some 14,000 acres of land in Clark County, Ky.

Capt. Rodophil E. Jeter, a native of Green County, Ky., is a man of wide and varied information, having been an extensive, close and careful reader all his life. Until he was nearly
twenty-one years old, when he was married, he lived on his father's farm. Soon after his marriage he commenced to learn cabinet-making and the carpenter's trade, serving an apprenticeship of three years. After this he followed his trades in Green County, until the breaking out of the late civil war. In April and May, 1861, he recruited and organized a camp of
Home Guards of 130 men, under the "Armed Neutrality" act, procuring arms for his camp from Gen. Rousseau (then stationed at Jeffersonville, Ind.), by paying the freight on them himself. These were the first Union arms or "Lincoln guns," as they were called, ever suffered to come into Kentucky. He also furnished his men with drums and other equipments, and ammunition, at his own expense. The camp was recruited in the neighborhood of Cane Valley, in Adair County, at which place they were drilled. They did not go into camp, however, but remained at their homes, being called together when wanted by a signal. When Gen. Buckner invaded the State September, 1861, his camp was called together one night to escort the money from the Greensburg Bank to the Railway, from whence it was conveyed to Louisville.
On the 23d of the same month he went into camp with his company at Greensburg, under the call of the State for troops for the United States service, and was mustered as Company C, of the Thirteenth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, on the 31st of the following December, paying his own expenses from September to that date with the exception of one month, when they were paid by the State. He served with his regiment until the battle of Corinth, Miss., in 1862, when he resigned on account of disability caused by his horse falling with him while on a scout. He participated in the battle of Shiloh, as well as many other lesser engagements. After his
return from the army he was appointed provost-marshal for Green, Taylor and Adair Counties, serving as such until the beginning of the draft in 1864, when his territory was restricted to Taylor County. In 1863 he was taken prisoner by Col. Scott, of the First Louisiana Cavalry, but was released on parole.

After the war he was appointed general storekeeper for thirteen counties, in the internal revenue service, serving for three years, and was engaged in the hotel business at Campbellsville during a part of the same time. Afterward he engaged in the lumber and stave business at the same place, which he continued for several years. He was one of the leading men in securing the building of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, of which road he is now and has ever since been one of the directors. He has served as city marshall, city judge, magistrate and postmaster ford a short time.

Notwithstanding the fact that he lost a large number of slaves by the war, he is still a wealthy man, and for the past year has lived a retired life.

Capt. Jeter was married January 6, 1842, to Miss Martha A. Chaudoin, a native of Green County, Ky., and born February 27, 1823. She is a daughter of Thomas G., and Martha (Penick) Chaudoin, natives of Virginia, and of French and English descent respectively. Four sons and two daughters blessed their union: Bettie B., now Mrs. Creed Haskins; Martha A., now Mrs. T. C. Cox; John J., and Thomas R., and two deceased.

Both the captain and wife have been from early life members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he has officiated as class-leader for many years. He is also a bright member of the Masonic fraternity, having advanced to the council degrees of R. & S. M., and having served as Wm. M. of his lodge and H. P. of the Chapter. He is also a member of George H Thomas Post, G.A.R., of Indianapolis. In politics he is a Republican.
