Thank heavens you are too young for credit cards, don't EVER get one!!! As far as ancestry goes, it is not the be all end all of genealogy research on the internet. Yes they do have a lot of records all in one spot and they are easy to search. BUT, if you are dedicated to finding information on the internet, you need to become a detective and hunt for good web sites with information. Then you might actually find that you can send a money order for records. There are some very good free sites out there, the first is http://www.familysearch.org./ This is the LDS web site and they have a lot of free information. The other thing you can do is go to the local LDS family history center. Ought to be listed in your local phone book. You do not have to be LDS to go and use the information. You can use their computer for researching and for a small fee you can order microfich. This is actually the way most genealogy was done just a few years back, in the stone age before computers! The other thing you can do is find some search engines and start sending out querries. if you are using Google, you might try combinations like "Jessie Jeffers" South Carolina 1837. The " " means the search engines will look for those words in that combination. You will also want to search "Jeffers, Jessie" etc. Lots of ways to search with the information you have. There are also a lot of other free web sites that offer good information. Rootsweb has a free surname forum. You could post your query there and see if anyone else is doing research on the same names.
I have a pretty good list of web sites that offer free genealogy information on my club index page http://www.genzoli.com/cgc/newindex2a.html#top
And when you get to a point that calls for someone to actually go and look at a newspaper for an obit or birth announcement, you can always tag RAGK, (Random acts of genealogy kindness) There are millions of wonderful people out there who will do a look up for you without cost.
Now go out there and HUNT!

What I found:
I looked in every census from 1860 forward to 1930. I could only find them listed once in the census of 1910.
U.S. Census of 1910 for Richland County, Center, South Carolina.
Jessie Jefferson, age 73, b. about 1837 in SC
Occupation: Farmer
Wife: Rebecca, age 36, born in SC (I don't think they transcribed her age correctly - this census also says that she and Jessie had been married for 31 year in 1910 - well there's no way that she got married at age 5. In taking a really close look at the census takers handwriting, I think her age was actually 56 in 1910 which means that she was born in 1854.)
It show that she had a total of 14 children but only 8 survived.
The children that were still at home were:
Essie, age 20
Sammie, age 13
Henry, age 9
Rebecca, age 7
All the children were born in South Carolina.
Sorry I couldn't find anything more.

I did some searchs and nothing pulls up. Are you sure he was born in 1837? then that would mean that his wife was born when he was 37 years of age. Also do you have a death date? if so then you maybe able to pull the death records.
Try www.familysearch.org

go to usgenweb.com and locate South Carolina. You may find some transcribed records and if not, usually there are volunteers to look up the info for you.
familysearch.org is another good free site

nicely, in case you're in charge sufficient for one then why don't you. i'm specific that if your mom have been given it for you she thinks you're responsble sufficient to have one. I had a debit card at 15, so what's a million greater twelve months. some young ones are alot greater matture than others. You sound such as you have a large head on your shoulders and are not keen to lose your mom's have faith. inspite of each and every thing your mom informed you in case you circulate over, it fairly is long gone. you be attentive to the consiquences, so why might you circulate over. 2nd, if your dad steals out of your handbag i propose leaving the cardboard in a secure place, besides your handbag/wallet. ask your mom to maintain a carry of it, till you decide directly to apply it, in hassle-free terms for cover applications. i'm specific in case you clarify that in the time of your mom she'd be greater desirable than keen to hold it for you.

The Church of the Latter Day Saints, or Mormons, are heavy into geneology. You can go to one of their facilities and use their computers. They have memberships to virtually all geneological resources and let you use them for free at their facilities. Google "Mormon geneology resources" and your city to find out where you can go.
There is almost certainly some place near your home.
