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]
