I'd love to hear from you!

Born in Steele, MO

Jan 12 1885

Jess' WW1 draft record states his birthday is Jan 12, 1885.

All census records state Jess was born in Missouri.

Jess' SS application states he was born in Steele, Pemiscot, Missouri. It also says he was born Jan 12, 1885.

His death certificate agrees with the date, and states place of birth simply as Missouri.

Jess WW2 states his year of birth as 1894. However, everything else is an exact match. There is one census that also lists him as being 10 years younger than his actual age. I'm unsure why he was trying to pass himself off as younger... or if it was just mistakes.

1900

I believe Jess is living with his aunt and uncle in 1900, in Pemiscot MO.

Marries Louvenia Lipscomb

6 July 1902

I believe that his parents either 1.. sent him away or 2... died by 1900. Because in 1900 I found who I believe is him living with his aunt and uncle. About that time Venia's parents moved her to Missouri. Jess and Venia run off to Arkansas to marry in 1902. They obviously move back to Missouri, as Helen was born there. But they moved to Arkansas some time between Helen's birth and Rosebud's birth.
