Jesse Jones (b. circa 1788 in Ga.) and Rebecca Miller were issued a marriage license Sept. 30, 1820 by John H. Lowe and their marriage ceremony was performed the next day by William C. Dobbins. This was in the 222nd general militia district, "Oates", then "Stewart". They were still in Clarke in 1828 when their son Harrison was born. His 1906 application for a CSA pension says he was born in Clarke. Their other sons were Jesse, Jr.; Paschal, Burton and Robert (Bob). Their daughter was Martha. By 1831 Jesse shows up on the Fayette county tax rolls. Rebecca apparently died before the 1850 census. In 1850 Jesse's household consists of himself, Jesse, Jr. age 31, Robert age 19. Martha age 3 and James age 1. I assume the children are offspring of Jesse, Jr. and that both Jesses are widowers. In 1860 Jesse is living alone in household # 284. Does anyone have information as to who the parents of Jesse and Rebecca were? I would like to correspond with any descendants. Can anyone locate general militia district 222 and explain the meaning of 'Oates" and "Stewart"? Anne Westbrook
