Jesse Cypert, wife Jemima and small family moved from Warren Co., TN to present day Jackson Co., IL about 1809. They accompanied Jemima's parents, James and Nancy Puckett Worthen. James Worthen was reportedly killed in 1812 by Indians and the Cypert family returned to Tennessee. I have not yet determined where in Tennessee they were living between 1812 and 1816 when they settled in Wayne Co., TN. It is possible they were in Madison Co., Mississippi Territory (now Alabama) during this period since Jesse Cypert's brothers Francis III and Baker were enumerated in the 1816 Madison Co., Mississippi Territory census. Guess this is more information than you wanted. Edgar Edgar D.
