Jesse Cyrus married Sally White 8 May 1831 in Cabell County, Virginia. [1] Sarah ("Sally") White was born 1811 or 1812 in Kentucky[2] the daughter of Solomon White and Barbara Fraley.
Jesse and Sarah Cyrus were living in Lawrence County, Kentucky in 1850.[3]
The family resided at Catlettsburg, Boyd County, Kentucky in 1860. The name of Jesse's wife is listed as "Louisa" however her age is within two years and birth place matches the data for Sarah in the 1850 census.[4]
The 1870 census shows "Sarah" as the wife of Jesse Cyrus. So it is assumed the census taker made a mistake in the 1860 census.[5]
