He was termed "Master" in a grant to him of 250 acres in the"county of Nanzemund" at a place called Somerton on May 16, 1668. At the session of the General Assembly in Virginia, which met in Novem ber, 1682,he was awarded payments in tobacco assessed against Nansemond County"for carrying p ublique letters into Carolina". In 1685, as Thomas Jernigan Sr., he patented an addition 33 0 acres "at Somerton in the upperparish of Nansemond". On the Nansemond Quit Rent Roll of 1704 he was listed as holding 165 acres; probably by this time he had given all his lands with the exception of his manor plantation to his son and heir.The name of his wife is uncertain, possibly Elizabeth Thompson.^[1]
