JESSE GRIGSBY
Jesse Grigsby was born in Roane County, Tennessee, on 23 Feb. 1819, a son of George and Rebecca James Grigsby. He was educated in Monroe County, Tennes­see, and was married in Tennessee in 1837. The family then moved to Pulaski County, Missouri, where he farmed and raised stock until 1840. They moved to Greene County, Missouri, and continued farming there for ten years.
On 19 Feb. 1850, they started across the plains for California, coming via the Green River route and South Pass, entering the state by the Truckee route. They arrived in Napa County, California, on 18 Sept. 1850, and settled with his brother, Capt. John Grigsby, who was then living in the Napa Valley. There Jesse began farming and stock raising again. In 1872 he sold his valley property to D. Emerson, and moved to Berryessa valley. After one year there, he gave his farm to his son, P.O., and retired from the business.
During his residence in Napa County, Jesse served two terms as Supervisor and later was City Marshal of Napa. In August, 1886, he had an accident in which he was seriously injured, according to the newspaper account, because he weighed nearly 300 pounds.
Jesse's health declined during his last years, when he was subject to fre­quent and severe attacks. He died'on 25 May 1890, at his home on Coombs Street in Napa, and was buried from the Christian Church there.
The children of Jesse and his wife (Margaret R. Alexander) were born in Missouri and California. His wife and seven children survived him-Pulaski D., William T., John W., Rebecca, Willis P., James, and Jesse F. Grigsby.

The NGFS Y-DNA Study `committe is in the process for testing three of the descendants of this line and hope to study and draw important conclusions this year. It looks likely at this point that Aaron Grigsby b.1757 and a two close relatives a Samuel and a William Grigsby are descendant of a presently unknown son of either William or Thomas Grigsby who were sons of John (II) Grigsby the son of "Immigrant John" Grigsby. We will see whether our "Big Y" tests at FTDNA support or refute this hypothesis which I strongly believe to be correct..

Comments: I would like any documentation you have discovered concerning the parents of Aaron Grigsby born 1757 who was a sailor on the Grand Turk.Our National Grigsby Family Society genealogical research has failed to find any documentation regarding Aaron's parentage (our database which is not documented, I believe to be in error). To my best knowledge the William Grigsby, Jr. to whom you and our NGFS database attribute as father of Aaron, according to all research of which I am aware, had only one son and he was Horatio Grigsby. Further, our preliminary NGFS Y-DNA research indicates that Aaron Grigsby 1757 was from the line of a different son of our "Immigrant John" Grigsby (1623-1730).I would appreciate your response and any documentation you can offer.Donald L.

Founded in 1664, created from Westmorland County and named for the Engli sh County of Stafford, Stafford County, Virginia, has strong connectio ns to events that shaped our nation's history. It was at Marlboro Poin t,that Indian Princess Pocahontas was kidnapped and taken to Jamestow n. Another historical figure also made Stafford his home. Augustine Washin gton, with the rest of his family, including a six-year-old son named Geor ge, moved to Ferry Farm in 1738. The future first president spent his form ative years there until he reached young adulthood

IGI Microfiche 1990
Aaron Grigsby was a marine soldier on the "Grand Turk", a famous Maassachusetts privateer ship during the American Revolution. The Grand Turk belonged to Elias Haskett Derby, of Salem, Massachusetts, and commanded by Emperor Moseley. It sailed out of Salem, Mass. to cruise West Indian waters late 1782 or early 1783. Aaron was held prisoner by British on Barbados for seven months. Aaron was in the vicinity of Rockbridge or Wythe County, Virginia in 1794. He moved to Giles Co., Tenn. in 1808, where he was living with his son, Amos Grigsby, in 1840.

Soldiers in the revolutionary army received rations of a quart of beer a day.
1789 James Madison proposes that Congress levy a low 8-cent duty per barrel on malt liquors to encourage "the manufacture of beer in every State in the Union."
Beer and bread were the mainstays of the ordinary person's diet for centuries.
Yeasts during this time were exactly the same as those used in bread.
Before the 1800's most beer was really "Ale."
