  • Notes 
    • info from Janice Graham Patterson, his step great granddaughter.

      Jesse was a tall, quiet man who loved to smoke a pipe. He owned a sheep ranch and sold the wool instead of killing the sheep. He had a sheep shearing building and guys who worked for him doing the shearing. They were so fast at their jobs that it took only a minute to shear a sheep. They use to have contests to see who could do it the fastest, as a way of making the day go faster I guess. His ranch where he kept his sheep was not in the same place as their home, it was down the road a good ways.

      Jesse and Granny did not have any children.
