Death record in 1851 says that he was born in Stratford (NJ?) and was 87, giving him a birthdate between 10 July 1863 and 10 Jul 1764. A page from Enoch's account book (found in his pension file), written in his hand, says that he was born 21 Jan 1765.

Enoch says that he was living with his grandfather John Benedict when Jesse was first in the army. Jesse served in Norwalk 1 Oct 1776 to 1 Apr 1777.
Acquaintance Elijah Sherman, who knew Enoch Hayes more than 40 years, said, "he was a reputable man of fair character."
