Aaron and Mary Jernigan settled on the shore of Lake Holden in 1843, purchasing 1200 acres and moving some 700 head of cattle down from the Tallahassee area where Aaron and his brother Isaac (who also moved to Orlando) continued to own land and raise cattle. The above marker is a memorial to Jernigan who is actually buried in another part of the cemetery beneath the marker shown in the image below.
