My mother is a Jernigan. I was looking thru her family Jernigan history book for the information you need. It is not much but i found It says as follows:
That Scithegy ( I can not read it) Jernigan, daughter of David Jernigan married Jesse Ammons. She left a will in Wayne county, file #312. Their children are, Christian, Elizabeth,Joshua,David,Josiah,John,Winnifred,Mary and Jesse Ammons.
In her will, she mentioned grandchildren William Henry Jernigan and Anna Jernigan. We do not know if Sightly Jernigan was married before she married Jesse Ammons. She could have a daughter that married a Jernigan, which could account for the grandchildren. When George W. Jernigan died 4-4-1856, William Henry Jernigan administered on his estate, so he must have been the son of George W. Jernigan. No futher record on this family.
This information came from The Jernigan Book
called the Jernigan Reunion, published in 1971 by Lillian J. Worley 201 Vance Street,
Clinton, N.C. 28328. You may want to write to her to see if she has an updated book or any new information.
