Jesse Lobban has been a mystery to my family until this summer when I figured out he must be our relative. I am the great-granddaughter of the Zachary Taylor Prewitt and Cora Bell Lobban marriage, (Jesse Rowan Prewitt (1880-1941), Jesse Rowan Prewitt (1923-1998) Margaret E. Prewitt Garls,and I was always curious why we did not have information on Cora and Mary Eliza's family. We knew they were orphans from Mississippi who came to Drew Co. Arkansas. After I found Jesse in the 1850 and 1860 census, i tried to connect him to the Virginia Lobbans, especially the Nelson Co. Lobbans since he married Eliza Page in Nelson Co. I ,too, have spent hours in Ancestry.com and printing out information trying to find clues to his identity and his parents. I am familiar with William and Mary Massie, but never found a link to Jesse. Are you the Lobban with personal family tree? Do you have anymore info on Jesse's life in MS or can you direct me to a source. I know that Martha Bell Lobban is buried in the New Bethlehem cemetery, but find no record for Jesse. Perhaps Jane Garret buried him elsewhere. Also I didn't know I had a great-great uncle, James M. Lobban. We only knew about the two sisters. Thank you again.
