There are several cousins much closer to you who are descendants of Marshall Greely Jessee on the list who may have the information you need. I don’t know more at this time, but I think we can find you and answer, certainly her marriage information, anyway.

Jessee, listed in your database as follows:  ID: I6160  Name: Ruth B. JESSEE  Sex: F  Birth: AUG 1899 in , Russell Co., VA  Reference Number: 80+E895  _UID: 68644157B2A37C4B95554E6776D097524EC3  Change Date: 17 JAN 2004 at 20:18:57 Father: Marshal <http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jimjessee&id=I4479> Greeley JESSEE b: 23 JUL 1872 in , Russell Co., VA Mother: Sarah <http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jimjessee&id=I4543> "Sallie" D. (B.) CASTLE b: JUN 1871 in , Russell Co., VA I believe she may be my great-grandmother but I cannot make a connection for certain. My great-grandmother was one Ruth B Harris but this was her married name as listed in the 1920 and 1930 Federal Census (image attached) showing her married to Walter B Harris of the Castlewood Magisterial District. I can positively confirm that the persons listed in this census record are my family. I have traced your Ruth B Harris from 1900 – 1910. The given name and birthdates and places match up and then suddenly, apparently the only Ruth B anything in that area is Ruth B Harris in 1920. My belief is that this is because it is the same person, now married. Your database lists no husband or children for Ruth B Jessee (daughter of Marshal Greeley Jessee. Do you have any information about her that might allow me to make this connection to the Jessee family? Any information affirmative or negative would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for you time. Very sincerely, David P Rankin Ontario, CA
