Jeremiah and his brother Henry were twins. He built the "River Bend" house, southwest of Elkton in 1833. The house was constructed of brick by slaves. The original barn was burned by Federal soldiers during the Civil War. The second was built in 1868 and burned in July 1953. The land the homes of Jeremiah, John, Adam & Henry are built on is the land originally owned by Stephan Harnsberger, their grandfather.

Jeremiah was a soldier in the War of 1812. He served under Coleman in the 6th Regiment, Virginia Militia (Aug-Dec. 1814) and served as a corporal.
( Roll Box: 92, Roll Extract: 602 ).
-
Although Jeremiah was at one point an anti-Jackson man he eventually changed his opinion, and he and Elizabeth would open their home to General Andrew Jackson when he would travel through the area. One story states that after Andrew Jackson arrived at their home late one afternoon, Elizabeth sent one of the servants to enquire if there was anything special the General would like for supper that evening. General Jackson, being a man of simple tastes, replied "Just some cold cornbread and buttermilk".
