Richard Jefferson, farmer, section 4, was born in the state of Delaware, 
November 16, 1816, being the son of Isaac and Sarah (Groves) Jefferson, natives 
of Delaware. The former was a soldier in the war of 1812. Richard was the oldest 
of a family of nine children, six of whom grew up and only one of the family ever 
married. When he was an infant one year old he was taken to Kentucky, where he 
remained until 1821, then removing to Callaway County, Missouri. They lived 
there and in Benton, Platte and Buchanan Counties until 1857, when Richard 
Jefferson came to Henry County, and engaged in farming and stock raising. His 
farm contains 216 acres of good land, well improved. His sister keeps house for 
him and is an excellent manager of household affairs.
