He was a Corporal.
His first wife was Mary Ivers. She was the daughter of Richard & Mary Ivers. The couple had 11 children. They were Nathan, Jeremiah Jr, Frances, Priscilla, Richard, Sarah, David, James, Elizabeth, William & John
The are some that feel Jeremiah's wife Mary was buried next to Jeremiah. Cemetery visits by different people and a site cemetery census made some years ago did not find a marker for her, (Jeremiah's was found).
After Mary died, (before 1812), Jeremiah then married Jane Jones, who was the daughter of Morgan & Mary (Davis) Jones. (Her parents also settled in the area before the Revolutionary War.)
Jeremiah & Jane had 6 children. They were Mary, Samuel, Ruth, Hester, Sarah Ann & Malinda. (After Jeremiah's death Jane remarried.)
So with 17 children, from 2 wives, Jeremiah undoubtedly has many descendants that can trace their ancestry back to him.
