Thomas Jeter, the son of John Jeter, married about 1740 Winifred Prosser or Presley.
Thomas died in Amelia County in 1765 (will dated 29 Aug. 1765 , recorded 24 Oct. 1765) and left a verbal will in the presence of Thomas Payne. His wife would have all of his estate. After her death, they would divide the estate equally among his children. At the expense of the estate, the young children were to be educated. James Henderson and Richard Jones Jr. examined estate accounts for 1773-74 on 28 May 1775. They had at least the children listed below.
Winifred was living in Amelia County in 1782 and was head of a household of three whites and seven blacks. When they carved away part of Amelia County to create Nottoway County, Winifred’s home fell in the new county. Winifred died in Nottoway County in 1798 and the court appointed John Robertson, James Jennings, Leonard Beasley, and Littleberry Royall to appraise her estate.
