Jesse was actually married to Sally Edwards. Married 15 July 1814 and divorced July 1824. They had two children to our knowledge. Tradition is that she left after the divorce and moved to Ohio. Sally was white. Jesse later had a woman living with him that was listed as "black" on the census report. Tradition is that she was an Indian because a lot of Indians were listed back then as black. Makes no difference except us genealogist like to know for certain the nationality of our ancestors. He had two children with Sally and I have been in contact with a descendent of Phebe, one of the children by Jesse and Sally.
