Jesse Allred was the first son of Naomi Brandham Allred (later Durst), and Joseph Allred. Jesse was the first boy born in Fairview, ID. Naomi came to Utah from England and married Allred, but objected to polygamy. She left Allred and later married John Phillip Durst Sr.
Jesse was five, Lucy was two,and Scott was not yet a year old when in 1879 the family traveled from Nevada and Utah to the Black Hills by covered wagon and a one-horse buggy driven by Naomi. "In fording a river, probably the Platte, they were swept downstream. Mr. Durst, driving the wagon, made it safely to the other side....He called to Mrs. Durst to let the horse swim. Somehow, they made it safely across, although a few pots and pans floated away."*
Jesse left home at an early age to help trail cattle herds to market. He married Josephine Lillian Moss, (b. 14 Oct 1881, in Jersey City, NJ) in Custer, SD. They lived in Wyoming where he was in the freighting (with horses) business.
Jesse and Josephine had two children, Naomi Marie, b. 23 Nov 1902, d. 10 Feb 1987, and Roberta Opal, b. 08 Oct 1906, who died just short of her 13th birthday on 25 Aug 1919. Both girls were born in Seattle, WA. Jesse worked in the Moran Shipyard probably as a teamster. They moved to California probably because his wife's relative moved to the Los Angeles area. There he was employed by a trucking company whose owner had the unlikely name of Alexander Alexander Alexander.**
Jesse was separated but not divorced from his wife. He returned to the Black Hills where he worked on the Jack Kelly Ranch as the trainer of all the young horses.**
He was cared for in his last illness by his half sister, Kittie Durst McVey.
Josephine died 23 Jan 1943, but is not buried at Custer Cemetery. Naomi died in Los Angeles, CA.
