Classification: Query
Sorry, I didn't identify parents of Justinian JEFFERSON, but, considering that some of the surname arrived in Maryland by 1668, there were not very many in the state. You may need to find the church where Justinian was baptized or he and his parents married because there do not seem to be marriage licenses for them.

Do you have the Revolutionary War Pension, S30508, for Justinian JEFFERSON? On 7 Je. 1842, Mason Co., KY, he said he was of Montgomery Co., MD, until about 1794, when he moved to Mason Co., KY, where he was 83 on 2 Sep. 1841. [Montgomery Co., MD, was formed in 1776 from Frederick County, which was formed in 1748 from Prince George's Co. Also, consider that Justinian may not have known exactly how old he was in 1841. He may have been born later.]

These are the earliest records I see for JEFFERSON of Maryland.

Jesse JEFFERSON is listed online in these records:

One Perry JEFFERSON was sheriff of Mason Co., KY, in 1884.

Google Pilot.FamilySearch.org. That has copies of the 1850 census. Elcana is indexed Eleana, but the actual census shows
Elcana JEFFERSON, 52, Eliza, 42;
Sarah Ann, 25; Louis, 23; Amos, 21; Eliza, 16; Elizabeth, 14; Louis R., 6.
[If death date above for Rachel is correct, only the last child would have been by the second marriage.]

1850: Jesse JEFFERSON, 45; Mary, 35; Cane, 16; Elizabeth, 12; Albert, 3; Katharine, 1.
[There were also Jesses aged 35 & 29 in 1850.]

1850: JEFFERSON, Henry, 32; Abigail, 28; Perry, 8; John, 6; Nancy, 2
Also in household, Ezekiel POE, 28, & John McLEAN, 25.

1850: JEFFERSON, Nancy, 45 [wid/o Perry?]; Thomas, 13
Also in household, HUNT, John, 30, & Mary, 22; MILLER, Susan, 40.

It's helpful to have the children in a family in chronological order. That shows that the elder children could not have been Polly's if she was born in 1785. She most likely had son Jesse in 1805, but it's unlikely she had Justinian in 1838 when she was 53 & husband Justinian was 80. Justinian, b. 1838, must have been a grandson.

Perry (8 Mar. 1789 - 1 Mar. 1845, FindaGrave) m. 1817, Nancy SMALL?
Mary, b. 1789?
Elizabeth, b. 1793, m. 1814, Asa WATSON?
Elcana (1797 - 1877)
