Biography

Article about Elijah Jeffers from: "The History of Pike County, Illinois 1880"

Elijah Jeffers, retired farmer, was born in Clermont county, O., Jan. 1, 1803; he is the son of William and Sarah (Rollins) Jeffers, the former a native of England, and the latter of Ireland. Our subject was reared upon a farm, and has successfully followed agricultural pursuits thus far through life. He came to this county Oct. 17, 1837; hence is one of the oldest pioneers who have helped to convert the native wilds of this county into fruitful fields. He had but a limited education and possessed only $300 when he came to the county. His first purchase was 80 acres of wild land, which he improved and to which he added from time to time, until one time he owned between 500 and 600 acres, most of which he has divided among his children. He has held local township offices and been class-leader in the M. E. Church over 20 years, of which Church he has been an active and prominent member for 53 years, as also has his wife. In 1826 or 1827, in Ohio, he was married to Hannah Pine, daughter of William and Hannah Pine, natives of England and New Jersey, respectively. Of this union 11 children have been born, 10 of whom are living: John C., William P., Mary A., Samuel, Isaac E., Rachel, James, Lucinda, Francis L. and Martha F.
