Respectfully returned with the information that in conversation with Mrs B.B. Christian and J.D. Christian, sons of the late J.D. Christian Sr, late owner of the "Christian plantation" at New Kent C.H., I learn that William Jefferson col'd, aged 17 or 18 years was sent by his master to wait on his master's sons in "C.S.A.," while the rebel army was in the vicinity of Yorktown, Va; That he left about the year 1862, since which time nothing has been heard from him.
He left his mother and only brother Thaddeus here; but was never married and left no children of his own; he also left 3 nephews and 1 niece, children of his sister Katie (dec'd) by her husband Joe Burrell, all of whom are now living with their father the said Burrill in this county: He left also several half brothers none of whom however are named George.
Since April 1866, my office has been on the Christian plantation at New Kent C.H. and to my personal knowledge no freedpeople have been living on it except servants employed in the Hotel who are an entirely different family
