I believe very strongly that the family at the top of the table lived in Batsto in 1850; I am still uncertain about the residency of
the other Jervis families.
The following Jervis names appear in the Pleasant Mills Cemetery.
Jervis, Emeline.............wife of Levi...1839-1896
Jervis, John.................15 Reg NY eng Corps......1838-1915
Jervis, Levi...................Husband of Emeline.......1833-1896
- The 1860 Census also makes mention of a Susanna Jervis who died of 'fits' on 7 June 1859; I have not found her on the
1850 census and I have no idea who she is or how she is related to the others.
- There was also a Jervis family residing in Pleasant Mills,
according to the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXXI # 4. It consisted of Fred and Martha and their children,
Chalres, Mary Ella, and William. They resided in Pleasant Mills early in the 20th century. Martha's maiden name was
Reed; her father, William, lived with the family.
