| Notes |
- (Research):Jerdone appointed his nephew William Douglas to manage his Providence Forge property. Francis Jerdone died in 1771, shortly after purchasing the plantation, and his New Kent and Charles City County lands passed to his son, Francis Jerdone 11. The younger Jerdone resided in what had been his father's house in Louisa County, while William Douglas remained at Providence Forge. In letters to Jerdone in 1783, Douglas mentioned "building and repairing upon the hill" and framing the kitchen, and reminded Jerdone of his promise to send hands from Louisa to help make bricks. This correspondence may concern the construction of the original plantation and dependencies on the hill where Mount Stirling now stands.
It seems likely that william was the son of Joan Jerdone who married an unknown Douglas. Joan was the daughter of John Jerdone, who married twice, but whose wives have not been identified. John, born in Jedburgh, Scotland in 1680, was the son of Adam Jerdone (C1645-1741) and his wife Agnes. The Jerdone family were later to acquire the Douglas estate of Bonjedward..
