Aftermath and honors
### Aftermath and honors

In Staunton, the legislature elected Thomas Nelson as the next governor. Jefferson's term had expired on June 2\.

Recognizing its debt to Jouett, the legislature passed a resolution on June 15 to honor him. The legislature resolved to give Jouett a pair of pistols and a sword in gratitude. Jouett received the pistols in 1783, but the sword was re\-ordered in 1804, and no documentation indicates Jouett actually received it.


When did Jouett receive the pistols?
