Research Notes
Some notes from "Goodspeed's History of Tennessee." (submitted by Marian Presswood)
Jesse was a native of Polk County, the son of Eli and Catherine Milton Rymer. His father was of German descent, born in Buncombe County, North Carolina about 1819 and died in Polk County in 1877. His parents were married in Bradley County about 1838.
In September 1861, Jesse married Miss Dorinda Archer Cloud, a native of South Carolina, who was married first to George Cloud with whom she had five children. Dorinda and Jesse were parents of two daughters, Minerva and Fannie. Jesse taught school for three years before enlisting in 1862 in Co. B., 62nd TN Regiment, CSA and was a prisoner of war at Vicksburg in 1863. He was paroled and came home to resume farming and hauling copper. From 1867 to 1879 he had several teams of wagons on the road freighting copper and goods to and from Ducktown.
In 1882 he was elected to the office of Circuit Court Clerk of Polk County and moved his family to Benton where he established a general merchandise store in partnership with W. M. Clemmer.
