In 1930, he stated:  "Some years before the Civil War, a Hammons found some ore on Mcclure and took it to Dumps Creek to a shop (forge) where he ran out some metal that proved to be silver.  He hunted for the place but couldn't find it again ... He dug a big hole a hundred or two feet deep on the south side of Mcclure below the mouth of Roaring Fork.  He couldn't find any silver, got discouraged and went West.  Some of the Wamplers helped him build a big ladder.  I went and saw the hole while he was digging it.  The old pit is still there ... Sometime later I was hunting a wild-cat near the same place - probably within 200 yeard of the place.  There was three or four inches of snow on, but as I went around a little bench I found the snow off of about 75 square feet of the ground and a pile of something like corn-cobs piled up where the snow was off.  I didn't stop to examine them for my dogs were gettin' close after the wild-cat.  Later I remembered that the old man Hammons had found his silver in just such a place and in a piece of rock just like a corn-cob ... I tried to find the place again.  But the snow was all gone off and I could never find the place or the corn-cobs."
Jasper was a member of Co E, 21st Va Cavalry.  In his recollections (1930), he related some of Co E's military exploits:  "I served in the Confederate Army during part of the war.  I went in at Sandlick, during the summertime, probably in 1863.  At that time Jas Colley was Captain of my company and Zeke Counts was Major.  A short time after I joined, my company was called on to fight Burbridge as he came back from his first attack on the Salt-Works.  About 60 of us went to the Lavisa River below Grundy, but above Rock Lick, and waited for them to come back.  We lay by the road one night and cut trees in the road to block the Yankees.  We didn't take any provisions with us, so next morning we strung out in the neighborhood to get some breakfast.  Then Major Zeek, William Grizzle, Mack Owens and me went to see the blockade.  The Yanks were there in full force.  We darted back into the woods, but they saw us and followed and nearly surrounded us.  We went further into the woods and hills and got away. Major Zeke, Bart Yates and I went up the river and saw some more Yankees.  They got after us again and we had to run and scatter.  Lige Rasnick was in my company.  It was awful hot and we had run and scrambled over the rough hills so much that we were tired out.  William Grizzle suggested that we hide for awhile, but I said, ‘No.'  Major Zeke came up just then and said that the Yanks had caught Lige Rasnick and maybe had killed him.  We got down closer to the road and hid behind some big rocks and saw about 4000 Yanks go by.  Some of the Yanks were negroes - a company or two of them. We fired at the Yanks and they fired back at us. The bullets flew awful thick and glanced off the rocks and made the dirt fly all around us.  Mack Owens was behind a tree, but the bullets came too thick and made it too hot form him, making the bark fly off his tree.  So he ran back to us and hid behind the rocks.  We heard the Yankee officers say, ‘Go up that hollow and surround them.’  We saw a big company coming, so we scaled up the hill and went back down on the other side of the bend to the river again.  Here we saw they had Lige Rasnick a prisoner.  Major Zeke and some of us fired again at the Yankees and they fired back.  This drew their attention, and Lige jumped over the river bank and went down a kind of slip fifty yards or more to the river where he jumped in and swum across and got away.  The Yankees didn't shoot at him until he got nearly to the river, but they let go at him plenty then, but didn't hit him at all.  None of us were hurt.  The Yanks went on down the river, where they met Uncle John Colley and Sol Colley.  The Colleys ran and the Yanks chased them a little.  Sol stumped his toe and fell down and the Yanks hollered a lot. This made Sol mad and he got up and ran off.  When they got to the top of the hill, Uncle John Colley said, ‘Let's take another shot.’  And they did."
Jasper was a farmer, trader and merchant.  He served as Supervisor, Ervinton District, Dickenson County, 1889-93, 1897-99.  Both are buried on their homeplace.  COUNTS E-638 pg. 200.
