Sept. 1730, Hanover Co., VA., d. 7 Sept. 1812, Cumberland Co., VA., 
dau. of George and Sarah Norvell (Ref.: William & Mary Quarterly., 
Vol. 20 (1st Series), p. 222.; His obituary was published 17 Apr. 1827 in 
"The Richmond Enquirer", p. # 3: "Died on the 2nd inst. at the
residence of Mrs. Rhoda Gannaway, in the county of Buckingham, Mr.
Jeffrey Robertson Sr. in the 91st year of his age").
	An article in "The Virginia Historical Society" Magazine (Vol. 
37, p. 322) states Jeffrey died in the home of his daughter, Rhoda
Robertson Gannaway. The William & Mary Quarterly (Vol. 22, Series 2, 
p. 62) states Jeffrey Robertson held the rank of Captain in the 
U.S. Army but the Jeffrey referred to was most likely the son of Tirey
Robertson Sr. (See entry # 3-008). Sarah's father was vestryman for the
Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, VA.

	Although 16 years of age Norvell served in a Cumberland Co.
Virginia military unit under command of Capt. William Merideth when the
English Army, under Command of Gen. Cornwallis, surrendered at Yorktown
during the Revolutionary war.
	Rev. Robertson moved to Georgia after the war and then west to
Mississippi where he settled and raised a family. Usually members of 
the congregation paid their preacher by donations but donations were so
small that Rev. Norvell worked as blacksmith, teacher, and farmer. The
minutes of  his church, Providence Baptist, date back to 1818 and list
Rev. Robertson as one of 8 charter members of the church.
