John "Jessie" Littleton served in the War of 1812. His widow Tabitha received was receiving a pension as of 1879, Carter County, Kentucky. The middle name Jessie came from the research of Eula Thomas, most likely from family history from his granddaughter Amanda Gee Thomas who lived with the family for months at a time. There is also an outside chance it came from a genealogy researcher hired by her and her mother in the early 1980's. However, I have all her notebooks, returned research info, etc. and I tend to think it was the oral family history. The only supporting evidence that Jessie is correct is the fact that twin sons were named John and Jessie. (Barbara Bartlett Thomas)
