Elizabeth Jasper

According to research on Ancestry.com:

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 Cavermarthen in Wales, in 1728, and 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, June 17, 1776, and was killed in the assault on Savannah, October 7, 1779, along with Count Casmir Pulaski. Abraham, the eldest brother, was born in Wales and was a Tory. A book on Georgia states that Nicholas suggested the County by named after County Casmir Pulaski who died in the Revolutionary War along beside William, brother of Nicholas.

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 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 success of her husband Nicholas.

Research indicates that Nicholas married his second wife, Martha Irvin, 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) January 14, 1799. He was one of the noble pioneers of Kentucky. After servicing 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.
