Benjamin and Susan Bonsack, the original homeowners to the Jeter Farm, had eight children: John Albert, Jesse Walter, Edward Mae, Laura Susan, Charles Elliot, Reuben, Dillie, and Jacob Bonsack. 

Jacob Bonsack Jeter married Hattie Brugh of Nace and took over his parent’s farm until 1940. Jacob and Hattie Brugh Jeter had four children: Max, Richard, Josephine, and Annie Laura. When Hattie passed away all four children learned to work hard at an early age to keep this farm afloat.   

When Richard turned 23, in the 1930’s, his father died. Richard kept a promise he made to his father to keep the farm afloat, no matter what happened. Richard married at age 31 to Genevee and the couple continued the family tradition of farming despite the poor economy during the Great Depression. Richard and Genevee had six children.

Richard has since passed away and his son Ned Jeter has taken over ownership, operation, and the promise of keeping the farm going along with his two sons, Ned II, and Darrell.
