Some have discussed this before, but I want to try and take a stab at this again.
Edmund Jean of Stokes Co., NC was survived by Martha and 13 children, whose names and approximate ages in 1802 were: nine children by his first wife ; Wiley 25, Wesley 24, Elizabeth (Betsy) 21, William 19, Patty 17, Edmund Jean 16; Sally 14, Joseph 12, and David 08; and Martha's own children; John 6; Nancy 4, Harrison 3, and Jesse Lee 01. Since Wiley and Wesley were of legal age, Martha was left with ten children of minor age; six step children (ages 18 to 07) and four children of her own (ages 07 to 01).
Does anyone have a copy of this particular record? I haven't been able to locate it yet, and would really love to see it. If someone just knows what type of document it was (guardianship records, court records, probate records, deed record??). I am wondering if it is possible that it was hard to read and maybe William was 29 and not 19...or where they listed in the order above?
I would love to have a copy of this documenat and am willing to pay for a copy and postage, if anyone is willing to share. I am not trying to upset the balance of the Stokes Co., NC Jean tree, but we have already discovered a few branches that were crisscrossed and I just can't get it out of my mind that William Jean of Greene Co., TN is the correct son of Edmund.
I realize it doesn't mean anything, but the only thing I have ever found on the Rev. William Jean born abt 1784 and died 1825 in Granville is:
From "Death & Marriage Notices from the Hillsborough Recorder, 1820-1879 and the Hillsboro Recorder 1887-1888" compiled by Shirley Jones Mallard, page 34 - 6 Apr 1825 - Rev. William Jean died 9th March last, in Granville Co. He was a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, circuit preacher and presiding elder throughout NC & VA - Vol. VI, #268
The last record I have found for William in Stokes Co., NC was about 1816 - that is an eight year gap until the Rev. shows up in 1825. And one other thought/question that is bothering me "presiding elder" - wasn't he a bit young to be that? I would think the 1825 Granville Co., NC Rev. William Jean was a little older than 39...prob at least 45 - 50?
Has anyone else ever looked in to this?
