This family lived in the Lagro and Mt Etna area. Jesse was born in Ohio around 1810, Mary Ann (?) was born in Indiana around 1813. They had seven children, all born in Lagro: 1- Jonathan, b.1838/9, married Catherine Jane. They had 6 kids: Henry, Maggie, Nelly, Thaddeus, Annie, and Alva. 2- James, b.1840/1841, married Eliza J Watson. They had 7 kids: Thomas, John (married Margaret C Mills), Rosetta (married John Carl), Charles E., Emma (married William Harlin), Albert, and James. 3- Virinda, b.1844 4- Minerva, b.1866, married Zachariah Hurley. They had 2 kids before mom died, kids were raised by grandma Mary A.: Tom and Tildy? 5- Sarah, b. 1848 6- Samantha J., b. 1850 7- William Marshall, b.1853, married Harriett Ann Beam. They had 4 kids: Robert Wesley, Alonzo Jackson, Mary Elizabeth, and Grace (born in Kansas). I know Jonathan was still living in Lagro in 1913, James lived in Mt. Etna with his family, and William lived in Kansas, Ohio and Michigan, which is where he died.
