Source: John H. Jessee [PO Box 102, Sugar Grove, VA 24375] wrote, 3/25/2001, with this very important information both correcting and providing additional information for the descendants of William Vincent Jessee, Jr. son of William Vincent Jessee, son of Archer Jessee. William Vincent Jessee, Jr. married RebeccaStinson, daughter of Edward Stinson and Jennie Burk, daughter of William Burk and Rebecca Jessee. This is also a delightful letter full of family stories.
This letter is in part a response to an article by Frederick Alan Jessee in theJuly 2000 issue of the Jessee Newsletter. On page sixteen of the newsletter isan article that refers to William Vincent Jessee Jr. and his relationship to Frederick Alan Jessee and other family members. Several errors were made in thisarticle with references to dates and relationships. I would like to provide corrections to this article to the best of my ability. Organizing an informative and correct genealogy record of numerous family members can be difficult. I behave we have many serious researchers that have spent innumerable hours researching to satisfy their own interest, and to provide information to others if requested. Therefore, I presume, when apparent errors have been made and published,that anyone having access to the correct information should make an effort to provide the corrections. In doing so I hope my actions will not be offensive toanyone.
Beginning with the first sentence of the article, the relationship ofWilliam Vincent Jessee Jr to Frederick Alan Jessee would be great great grandfather rather than great grandfather- Frederick Alan great grandfather would have been Edward Thomas Jessee. Edward Thomas Jessee, (b. 1878 d. 1955) was one ofthree children resulting from the marriage of William Vincent Jessee Jr. to Rebecca Stinson. William Vincent Jessee Jr. was born in Russell County in 1848 and died in Russell County in 1936. His first marriage was to Rebecca Stinson (b.1846 d. 1903). William Vincent Jessee's second marriage was to Maragerine Mullins in 1905. Maragerine Mullins was born in 1905 and died in 1931. She was the daughter of John Mullins of Dickenson County, Virginia.
I behave I can speak with certainty regarding the references made to Kemper Jessee. Kemper Jessee wasmy father and his name was Kemper Gilmer Jessee rather than Kemper John Jessee, He was the son of Edward Thomas Jessee and Harriet Virginia Rasnake Jessee (b. 1876 d. 1964). My Father was born in Russell County in 1904 and died in Tazewell County in 1987. He married my mother, Laura Belle Buckles Jessee in 1925. My mother was born in Russell County in 1907 and is the daughter of John Buckles(1875-1954) and Alpha Jessee Buckles (1884-I953).
My mother was ninety-four years of age on the sixteenth of March two thousand and one. I was able to talk with her on that date and during our conversation I ask her about her Grandmother Buckles. She, without any hesitation in the conversation, proceeded to tell me about my great grandmother and several other family members. My mother informed me that My great grandmother's name was Mary Taze Cowan prior to her marriage to my great grandfather Charles Buckles and that Charles Buckles father's name was Abraham Buckles. Mother said that her father's full name was John Taze Buckles and that he had been given his mother's middle name. Without the slightest hesitation that some of a lesser age, including myself, would find necessaryto remember a name, she told me that my great grandmother's father's name wasCharles Cowan. Several other Cowan names were mentioned, but I was unable, dueto the excitement of the birthday event, to make the other Cowan family connections. Some of Cowan names mentioned were Sally, Sally Wool and Mary Elizabeth.
After all the incredible name remembering my mother hesitated, laughed almostsilently and said she would never forget the story grandma had told her when she was a child about grandma's elopement with Gra

Charles married Mary Taze Cowan on 28 May 1868 in Russell County, , , Virginia. Mary was born in 1846 in Russell County, , , Virginia; died in 1919 in Russell County, , , Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

After all the incredible name remembering my mother hesitated, laughed almost silently and said she would never forget the story grandma had told her when she was a child about grandma's elopement with Grandpa Buckles. Mom remembered that her grandma told her that she and grandpa had been pledged when they were children by their respective families to be married when they reached a suitable age. According to great grandma s story as told by my mom, when the time drew near for them to be married, rather than waiting for the traditional marriage ceremony to take placethey decided to take matters into their own hands and secretly steal away and be married.
The plans to elope were made, but one slight but significant problem stood in their way. That problem was a bulldog owned by great grandma's father Charles Cowan. Evidently this bulldog had gained some notoriety for his dedication to the Cowan family. He had built some reputation, especially for his nighttime vigilance guarding the family and their possessions. The bulldog had one weakness that my great grandmother was aware of that might cause him to become distracted from his guard duties. This dog had developed a fondness for biscuits, and great grandma realized if she kept him occupied by feeding him biscuits during the course of the evening of the planned arrival of great grandpa thatgreat grandpa might arrive without being detected. On the date the elopement was to take place; great grandma had hidden away a sufficient quantity of biscuits that she hoped would serve the purpose of her intent.
As planned, on the eve of great grandpa's arrival to steal her away and after the family had gone tobed, great grandma began the task of feeding the bulldog biscuits. By the timegreat grandpa arrived the bulldog was so stuffed with biscuits that he had forgotten his primary responsibility to warn the family of intruders. Without regard to his reputation he had fallen asleep and failed to awaken the family when great grandpa stole my great grandma away.
This story somewhat provides a brief glimpse into the past and into the activities of the lives of our ancestors. I can in one way personally relate to a part of the story. I have just like thebulldog developed a fondness for biscuits. I have
