I am searching for the parents of John Jesse Overton, born in either North Carolina, OR Louisa County, VA about 1790. He married Sophia Henry from Georgia. He may have also lived in Kentucky, and spent his final years in Baldwin County, AL. John Jesse and Sophia had six children: Wesley George, Thomas, Orwell Matilda (OR Matilda Arwell), Olive, Rose, and Margaret. Family tradition implies that John Jesse knew Andrew Jackson and came to Alabama with him, perhaps during the Indian wars. Any information about the parents or siblings of John Jesse Overton will be appreciated. I am a descendant of his daughter, Orwell, who married William J. Davis.
