1850 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 19 December 1850
Location: Subdivision 31, Knox, Tennessee, USA
Notes: A primary source for siblings. Only the boys attended school. I'll be attempting to corroborate this source with sources related to Jesse's siblings. That being said, the 1870 census shows that Jesse's first daughter is Mary and first son is William, which are his parent's names.
1860 U.S. Census (detail):
Date:
Location: 4 District, Roane, Tennessee, United States
Notes: The ages in this record are messed up, but the list of children's names suggests this is the right family. The family has moved to Roane County from Knox. Since 1850, as we would expect, Nancy, Jesse and Margarett have moved out. James, Stephen and William H are all about 10 years older, though the order is in error. Lucinda Jane, Margaret and Anne E exactly the right ages. The rest of the children are newcomers. William's age is off significantly but Mary's age and birthplace match the 1850 record.
1870 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 23 June 1870
Location: 4 District, Roane, Tennessee, United States
Notes: The first daughter is transcribed as A. C. - I think it's Anna E from 1860, which could be a bad transcription. The second daughter must be Isabelle J. The third is Martha, then Mary, then Laura T. James H. Rupe and J. Bayley are William's grandchildren, sons of Henry Roope and Margaret Wells, and John L. G. Bailey and Nancy Ellen Wells, respectively.
1880 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 9 June 1880
Location: Eatons Cross Roads, Loudon, Tennessee, United States
Notes:William Wells is widowed according to this census. Loudon County is adjacent to Roane County. Isabelle's age is wrong. Tennessee is Laura T. Grandchildren James and John are still living with William.
