Notes |
- There is a story told by one of the Alabama Records books about Jesse and his marriage to Winnie Mapp. It turns out that a Mr. William Brown secured a marriage licence for him and Winnie on 28 December 1811. He however forgot to ask Winnie about it first and when he did she would not marry him. Seven months later, Winnie Mapp married Jesse Stone. Winnie Mapp was known as Winnie Mapp Jourdan. Her father died and her mother remarried a Soloman Jordan. Jesse Stone would prosper in the fertile Alabama soil. Jesse, the two sons, and his slaves worked the new ground with plow horses. They would grow cotton and corn and by the 1860 he estimated his estate's value at $28,000, $4,500 of it's value being land.
