I found a few online trees that appear to link my Stephen W to that line. All of them, though, seemed to reference a different Jesse Shelton as Stephen's child as they listed completely different children for Jesse. The odd thing was that none of them had any further information about the children and no spouse listed for Jesse. I also found 1860 census data for the Jessee in Bedford County, TN that is definately my Jessee with the children and spouse I expected to see. His age was listed as 63 making his birth year abt. 1797. Matt
