Friends and Family,

Please enjoy this correspondence below, reading from the bottom up for the
right chronology. We have yet another branch of the George Lea Jessee family
connecting to us, as well as a descendant of Mary Polly Jessee Kiser, not to
mention her Counts, Skeen, Castle, Suit, and Buckles roots, all deep in SW
VA.

I am sure Denise will appreciate any help you can give her in her
exploration. I hope they do make the Jessee Reunion this August 9, 2008 and
that they can find some help to explore their George Lea Jessee roots in
Russell Co.

Jim

Denise,



I am so glad to make the connection for you, and sorry that your Fairbanks
died tragically. My father died when I was 10 years old, in 1957, and he was
also 40, so I know of this kind of loss.



May I share our correspondence in the Jessee Newletter and forward it to the
Jessee list? There will be interest in this, and you can get help at the
reunion to go see the original John Jessee place, which your George Lea
Jessee inherited or bought out his brothers. The George Lea Cemetery is
there, with John and Frankey, among others.



I look forward to including the marriage and descendants information for
Fairbanks in the Jessee Database, and thank you for helping with that.



Yes, Carlos is a not a typical Jessee name! Lot's of James, Jim, and
Jimmys, though.



Jim

Hello Jim,

I can confirm that Fairbanks Jessee is my grandfather, he actually died when
my father was 5 years old in Baltimore, MD. Putting his death at 1946 or
1947. He is the child of Marshall and Sarah Jessee. I plan to visit my
father soon and will get you names and dates of all of his line. My fathers
name is Carlos James Jessee "Jim", the first name Carlos was given to him in
honour of a friend that saved Fairbanks life, but we both find it
interesting that there are other Carlos Jessee's out there, my brothers name
is also Carlos James Jessee Jr. "Jimmy". I am going to try and encourage my
father to travel with me to the reunion this August.

Thanks!

Denise Leanne Jessee Cumor or just "D"

The problem is that since I do not have a death date for Fairgbanks, it
assumes he is living, and does not show his name, but you can find his
father, Marshall Greeley Jessee. Do these names and dates fit your family at
all? Don't take my word for it, this has to be proven. Jim

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the quick response. I am having problems trying to locate
Fairbanks on the roots database. Is it even possible to search by RIN? If
you have any helpful tips on searching, I would gladly appreciate it. I have
a bit more information for you, from what my mother knows.

Fairbanks Jessee

Married Maude Della Tipton
b.June 8th year unknown, her parents John Wes & Mary Tipton, deceased
she later re-married after his death to Charles Shannon

Children of Fairbanks & Maude Jessee:
Roy Jessee
Jack Jessee
Georgia Gray Jessee (re-married twices, 1st to Jack Kiser, NJ, and
marriage?, is now deceased)
Kenneth Brice Jessee (deceased)
Carlos James Jessee (my father)

I can certainly take the lineage to my generation and have the names of all
of my cousins/siblings and there children, get birth and death dates and
where evryone lives/lived. I will also be calling my father this week to get
more information. I would love to have the dates and location of the
Fairbanks you have listed, I hope I can find him on the database.

Thanks,

Denise

Cousin Denise,



Thank you for your note. I hope I can help you. I do have one Fairbanks
Jessee, born 1906 in Castlewood, Russell Co., VA, which is nearby the
original Jessee Home Place, of John Jessee, Sr who married Frankey Lea, and
settled at Jessee's Mill, near Castlewood, VA in 1790. I have been there
many times, although I live in California, borh here. My Jessee family came
here in 1906 from Illinois, and had left Castewood area about 1870 for
Illinois.



Please go to my database at www.jessee.org <http://www.jessee.org/>; , and
see if this Fairbanks Jessee, RIN 21382, fits the time frame. If so there is
an extensive pedigree there for him. We would be about 5th cousins, as your
line goes back to George Lea Jessee and Mary Polly Jessee Kiser, two of the
15 children of John and Frankey. I descend from their brother, John Jessee,
Jr. I do not have any marriage or descendants information for him, so you
would be my first contact for him.



If this is your Fairbanks, you would be a Counts descendant, too. And that
makes you about an 9th cousin to my wife!



I also have two Carlos Jessees in my database, but not Carlos James with a
father of Fairbanks.



Let me know if this fits. Would also love to share your note in the Jessee
Newsletter. See those also on the Website.



Jim

Hello Jim,

I stumbled on you website tonight and was very excited. My family name is
Jessee. My fathers family comes from the south, W. VA/VA. His name is Carlos
James Jessee. Hi fathers name was Fairbanks Jessee, he died in a fire in
Baltimore (where he had moved with his children) when my father was 3 years
old. My father and I both live in MD, although he was raised in VA, and I am
not sure where. I grew up visiting my grandmother in West VA. Maude Shannon
(originally Jessee, she re-married). I know very little about my fathers
ancestry, he does not know much himself. And would be curious to see if the
name Fairbanks Jessee connects in anyway, I will try to get more details for
you as well, I am very excited to pass your website on to my family.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Denise
