I didn't remember it, but I found this same information and I put this Jesse in my database as an unlinked person. I also have a John D. Woodard who has a son named Jesse and they're in Dickson County too. So, I suspect that this Jesse is the Uncle of my John D. And, John D also had a son named George B. P. I don't find any Sarah.
