You posted your Reply in less than fifteen minutes after I posted my Query. That must be some kind of a record. Do you know if Jesse had a brother, named John Madison McIntosh who was born in Virginia in 1794? Do you know who Jesse's father was. There are either two Jesses or two conflicting fathers. There is one school of thought that says Jesse's father was a Frank McIntosh born about 1770 in Virginia. There is another school which says Jesse's father was a Nimrod McIntosh. These two groups are about as friendly to each other as the famous "Martins & McCoys!" Each one claims divine inspiration to support their lineage. Do you have any original documents or other materials that would support one or the other of these claims. I certainly do not want to start a Third World War by this question, but you seem to know what you are talking about, because Jesse is one of your direct ancestors. Thank you!
