Jack, Thank you for this documentation of William Fuller Jessee & Mary Elizabeth Jane Fuller, whose roots are a veritable history of SW VA founding families. I will share this with the Jessee List, and include it in the next Jessee Newsletter. William Fuller is the son of Elder David Jessee and Kathie Banner, and Mary Elizabeth is the daughter of William Isaiah Fuller and Mary Polly Burk.
