Jefferson served in the Black Hawk War of 1831-1832. In April of 1832 he was on the muster roll of Captain Levi W. Goodan's Company of the Brigade of Mounted Volunteers, commanded by Brigadier General Samuel Whitesides. They were mustered into service at Beardstown, Illinois. Jefferson is also listed on the muster roll of Captain Elijah Iles' Company of Mounted Volunteers under the command of Brigadier General Atkinson. On the muster roll, Jefferson gives his residence as Sangamon County, Illinois where he lived for a very short time. It is also noted that he had no horse. He was discharged on May 28, 1832 at the mouth of the Fox River, about 175 miles away from home. In 1894, Adella made a pension claim based on this service.
