Nicholas Jasper, husband of Elizabeth Wyatt, a soldier of the Revolution, was one of the earliest settlers of Pulaski County. Nicholas was the son of John Abraham Jasper who is said to have been born at Carmarthen in Wales, in 1728, and Mary Herndon. He settled near Georgetown, South Carolina in 1748, later moving to the Cooper River and near Charlestown in 1752 where they reared their family of four sons and three daughters. Nicholas and his brothers John and William served under General Francis Marion and General William Richardson Davie in North and South Carolina and Georgia. William was the hero of the battle of Fort Moultrie, on June 17, 1776, and was killed in the assault on Savannah, on October 7, 1779, along with Count Casimir Pulaski. Abraham, the eldest brother, was born in Wales and was a Tory. Nicholas is credited with naming Pulaski County after Count Casimir Pulaski who died in the Revolutionary War alongside his brother William Jasper.
Nicholas married Elizabeth Wyatt and to this union were born John, Elizabeth, Andrew, Mary, Achilles, Thomas, Rachel, and another daughter. Among his sons, Thomas, Andrew, and Achilles all were in the War of 1812. Andrew emigrated to DeKalb County, Missouri. Achilles emigrated to Platte County, Missouri. Thomas later was a Colonel in the Kentucky Militia and served as a representative in the Kentucky Legislatures 1833, 34, and 35.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Francis and Lucy Mary Rowe. Her siblings were Peter, Anne, Edward, William, and Rowe. Her influence as a pioneer mother must be reflected in the achievement of her children and the success of her husband Nicholas.
Nicholas is reported to have married his second wife, Martha Irvin, on January 2, 1810, the day his wife Elizabeth died. Nicholas is listed by the Filson Club Kentucky Land Grants and reserved 200 acres on Sinking Creek (Somerset) on January 14, 1799. He was one of the noble pioneers of Kentucky. After serving as a soldier, senior justice, and sheriff of Pulaski County, he died at the home of his son, Thomas, at Fishing Creek and was buried in the family plot in the Sinking Creek Church graveyard in 1827.
∼Nicholas Jasper was born 01 Oct 1744 and died ca 1827 D.A.R. records. The Jaspers of Kentucky claim that he married first Elizabeth Wyatt.
He married in Virginia about 1767 and his first child was born in 1768.
Nicholas married 02 Jan 1810 Martha Irvin in Fayette Co., KY. Bondsman was Issac McIssac. Ref D.A.R. Magazine April 1948
"A History of Jessamine County, Kentucky" by Bennett H. Young. page 240-242
"Dr. Francis Marion Jasper who died at Cincinnati, Ohio on the 22nd day of June 1892 while not a native of Jessamine county, was long one of its most successful physicians, and his descent entitles him to more than a passing notice. His Revolutionary ancestors came from Wales. His great-grandfather Abraham Jasper was born in Wales in 1728 and settled in Georgetown, South Carolina. From there he moved to a Cooper River residence near Charleston. His oldest son was a prominent Tory, while his other sons, Nicholas Jasper, John Jasper, and William Jasper, were devoted soldiers in the cause of their country during the Revolutionary War, having served under Gen. Sumter in North and South Carolina.
After the Revolutionary War, Nicholas Jasper settled in Pulaski County, Kentucky, and became the father of a large family of brave and patriotic sons. Nicholas Jasper was born near Charleston, South Carolina in 1752, Sergeant William Jasper was the youngest child born in 1757. He was not quite twenty years old during the siege of Fort Moultrie, near Charleston when the flagstaff was broken by a shot from the British. On seeing the flag Sergeant Jasper immediately sprang down and replaced the flag amid a tremendous fire from the British fleet, commanded by Sir Peter Parker.
