My Grandfather was
Mose Willis Jean, his father was
Edmond Fenton Jean m. Cynthia
Ratliff. Moses's siblings were
Arnie, Starlyn,
Cora,Dora. I remember uncle
Arnie as being a tall man with a pleasant personality. Moses' Father was
Edmond F. Jean, his father was William
Fenton Jean Born 1819 in
Lincoln Ct . Tn. I believe his parents were John Jean and Ann
Shaw Jean who came to
Lincoln County from
North Carolina around 1812 to 1815. I believe he is the John
Jeans listed in the 1820 census as 28 years of age. He was said to have been from North Carolina.and is listed in several publications of early
Tennessee. I think he may be the brother of David Jean of the same era who fought in the War of 1812 but I am not sure. I hope you can help in tracing the
North Carolina group and confirming the lineage.
