We can guess that 414Jesse may have been born circa 1750, since a family Bible record states (unfortunately very retrospectively) that 414Jesse's eldest daughter was born on 20 December 1777.1

The same family Bible also implies that 414Jesse married a woman named 415Elizabeth Bell,1 but I know nothing else about her or their marriage.

414Jesse had died by 27 May 1799, since on that date an Edgecombe County, North Carolina court issued a summons for two men to help settle 414Jesse's estate.2 (This court record also mentions 414Jesse's son-in-law 415Abishai Horn, and thus corroborates some of the information in the family Bible mentioned above.)
