"Jesse taught school for several years. He was supervisor for a long period of time. He was also the first postmaster at Nancy Virginia. He had a grist mill run by water. People would bring corn to be ground into meal. He would take 1 gallon of corn from each bushel for toll which kept them in cornmeal most the time. He also raised sheep and sold the wool to help pay for their clothing.
"Emma was sick a number of years before her death. Clara, their daughter, was only three years old when her mother died. The older daughters didn't get to go to school regular as they took turns staying home a day or so each week to take care of three-year-old Clara until she was old enough to go to school.
"Jesse was a wonderful father. He was both father and mother after Emma died. He was set around the fireplace each night and help the children with their homework, and when that was finished, they would sing a religious song or two before going to bed. Amazing Grace was his favorite. After all his children were married, he later married Nancy Anderson. They had no children. "
