Notes

He is found in S.C. and in Wilkes Co. GA, where he lived on the lands near John Brooks, Jr.

" I remember Jesse well. He was a Baptist preacher. When I was but a child, he visited us. In holding family worship, he read the third chapter of Galatians ; and his white head, his venerable bearing, and his slow and tremulous enunciation, produced an impression upon me that time can never efface. Little did the old man think that his very words on that occasion would be remembered for seventy years ! Indeed, we all too seldom reflect how deep and lasting an impression a word or act of ours may make upon the infant mind" ^[4]
