Biography

Jesse Asbill was born in 1875 in Missouri, USA to Susien Mitchell and Washington F Asbill.

During the US census of 1880, he was living with his parents and two siblings.^[1]

Jesse married Martha Ella (last name unknown). One US census from 1920 shows him living with Martha E Asbill (wife) and Maybell Martin (step-daughter). in Sheridan, Crawford County, Kansas, ^[2]

The 1930 census reveals Jesse living with his wife Ella Asbill (born in Illinois) and his adopted daughter Cordelia Asbill (born in Kansas) ^[3]. While I cannot find a marriage record yet, I believe the Ella is Martha Ella, as both census records showed his wife to be from Illinois.

I have not found a death date yet. Also note that this surname does have a habit of changing from Asbill to Asbell in various records and sometimes other variations. Jesse was noted as Jess in one record while the other, Jesse.
