THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD INFO.--WE HAD ESTABLISHED JESSE'S BIRTH-STATE ONLY FROM HIS REPEAT LISTINGS IN VARIOUS CENSUSES...ALSO, HIS APPROX BIRTHDATE OF 1821. THE IDEA OF HAWKINS COUNTY CAME FROM ONLY ONE WORD-OF-MOUTH SOURCE, SO SULLIVAN COUNTY IS AS LIKELY JESSE'S BIRTHPLACE AS ANY. THE FACT THAT IT IS IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA MAKES IT A REAL POSSIBILITY. I BELIEVE THAT PROOF OF A MALE "LIGHT" IN THE RIGHT AREA AND OF THE RIGHT AGE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE A COUNTY LOCATION WITH NO REAL PROOF! WE HAVE GONE ROUND AND ROUND WITH THIS FOR SO LONG THAT I FEEL WE NEED TO TRY A "ZERO-IN" TECHNIQUE--CAN YOU TELL ME IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT APPROACH? MUCH OF GENEALOGY SEEMS TO ME TO EXIST ON "POSSIBILITIES AND EDUCATED GUESSES"--AM I RIGHT?
CAN YOU FIND OUT WHO THIS RIGHT LIGHT WAS MARRIED TO, HOW MANY OTHER CHILDREN IN THAT FAMILY AND IF HE WAS THE SAME RIGHT LIGHT WHO MOVED TO MISSOURI (IF SO, THAT MAY GIVE US A TREMENDOUS CLUE)..THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME..
