Born on January 12, 1737 in "Charely Forest," Frederick County, Maryland, (now Montgomery County, Maryland). He was a Captain in the Revolution in the Tenmile Country of Washington County (in what is now Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania). He served under the command of General Edward Hand on the frontier including the Fort at Wheeling in the Ohio Country, since Jesse refused to make a "return" of his company, no records of the company have survived. Jesse Junior served as an Ensign in the 7th Company, 4th Battalion of the 1785 Washington County Militia. Jesse Senior also qualified as a patriot by paying the 1781 Supply Tax.

He married Sarah Lucas (1734-_) the daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Evans Lucas in 1762; children: Jesse II b. 1765, Charles, Samuel, Margaret, Anna, Alexander, Elizabeth b. 1772, Abraham, Mary (Polly) b. 1775 and William b. 1793. After the Revolution, Jesse moved from Greene County, Pennsylvania to Jefferson County, Kentucky and later to Ross County, Ohio. Jesse died February 12, 1821 and is buried in the yard of a modern house on Roe Lane (Miller Cemetery), near Bethel Church in Green Township, Ross County, Ohio. His repaired stone has been moved to the Bethel Cemetery, Salem, Ross County, Ohio, 45644. Cemetery Notes: The cemetery is located on the west side of Dry Run Road (Township Road 223) at its intersection with Marietta Road (Township Road 235). The cemetery is located in Green Township, Ross County, Ohio.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
