Virginia and Dicie (Boadica, my great grandmother) were the childrenofWilliam Henry Meade and Verbidia 'Biddy' Kaiser Meade. At the timeofDicie's death in 1952, Virginia was listed as living in Ranier,Oregon.I do not know anything else on Virginia. I have found some outon theMeade's and several sources list 'Biddy' as being BridgettElizabethKiser Meade. In my great grandmother's obit however it islisted as Iwrote it above. I do not know where any of them are buriedexcept mygreat grandparents. I did find Henry and Biddy in Carter Co.in a 1880census and my aunts and uncles said my grandmother used totalk of CarterCo. I have seen several rootsweb projects for Wm HenryMeade as well asBiddy's lineage. I am unsure of how much of the infois correct. My ggrandmother, Boadica 'Dicie' married John HenryBentley s/o RobertBentley and 'Chaddie' Blankenship. I am stillresearching those lines aswell.

Idon't know howthis Carter County, KY Jessee is related to our Jesseefamily, and askhelp in further identifying his pedigree. Thefollowing article wasprovided by Vivian Bales, and is from CarterCounty History, 1838-1976,put out by the Historical Society.SPORTSMAN
Daniel E. Jessee (1903-1970)
Many Carter Countians have excelled in business and their chosenfieldsof endeavor, but none has surpassed the success of Daniel E.Jessee inthe field of sport.
He was born at Counts Cross Roads, Kentucky, the son of James JesseeandVirginia Meade Jessee. At an early age his family moved West andhereceived a Bachelor Of Arts Degree from Pacific University, ForestGrove,Oregon, in 1926, where he played baseball, football andbasketball. Upongraduation in 1926, he turned to professionalbaseball, joining theSeattle Club in the Pacific Coast League. In 1927he was with the SanFrancisco Seals, and in 1928 went to the NewOrleans Pelicans of the oldSouthern Association, as property of theCleveland Indians. He thenjoined the Cleveland Indians of the AmericanLeague, but was injured andhad to give up professional ball after sixyears of professionalbaseball. He then entered Columbia Universitywhere he earned hisMaster's degree. Later in his career he wasawarded an HonoraryDoctorate degree of Humane Letters.
After obtaining his Master's degree, in 1932 he became coach atTrinityCollege, Hartford, Connecticut, founded in 1823, where heremained untilhis retirement in 1967. His tenure of thirty-five yearswas one of thelongest in College history. On the banquet circuit asthe "Dean of theNew England Coaches," he always proudly told of hisbirth in a log cabinnear Olive Hill, Kentucky.
It was here that he was acclaimed as one of the most successful ofthecoaches of his time.
In football, Coach Jessee's teams won 150 games, lost 76 and tiedsevenin the 35-year career. It is a record of excellence probablyunequalledover such a long term in modern college football. InJanuary, 1967,Jessee was named "Coach of the Year" in the CollegeDivision bycountrywide vote of his gridiron colleagues. Throughout1966 he hadserved as President of the American Coaches Association -the first coachof a small college to be thus honored. He was given aplaque for"Distinguished Service to Football" by Connecticut coaches.TheUniversity Club of Hartford made him its "Connecticut Man of theYear,"and as president of the National Coaches Association, he headedthecommittee that presented the McLaughry Award to former PresidentDwightD. Eisenhower at Palm Springs.
In baseball at Trinity, his teams won 237 games and lost 156, afigurethat would win pennants in any league. He beat Yale sevenstraight years.He coached Varsity squash racquets from 1947 through1958.
In 1939 Jessee wrote "Baseball' an instructional book on thesport,published by A. S. Barnes. He has written many articles forprofessionaljournals. During and after World War II, he traveledaround the worldconducting clinics on football and baseball forservice men. He is amember of the Helms Football Hall of Fame. In 1958he received the GoldKey presented by the Connecticut Sports WritersAlliance, and held acommission as "Kentucky Colonel" granted byGovernor Breathitt in 1966.He was also a member of Baseball CoachesHall of Fame of America.
At the end of his 35 year span of service in 1967, the TrinityTrusteesnamed the Varsity football field "Jessee Field.'' Upon hisretirement, heand his wife moved to Florida where he died April 30,1970.Source: Jane Byers Hill [jhill@cablespeed.com]

Myfather wasactually born here, too, and my brother and his son are bothalso namedDaniel. Although, there was a little bad blood because myfather was anextreme athlete with both baseball and footballscholarships. The storyI learned was that his Uncle Dan never helpedhim get into TrinityCollege. It was after my father's death that wefound a letter to myfather from Dan on Trinity College letterhead, onadvising him what todo...so I guess it just wasn't accurate. Wish Icould have discussed itwith him...There was a lot of dissension onthat side, and so I neverknew him as an adult...I am very sorry nowfor that. I also havepictures of him in my archives.

I was checking my data and it looks like Albert is possibly not thechildof Martha Buckles. Thomas Ballard Jessee and Martha were marriedOctober20, 1892, and Albert was born in 1891 according to the cemeterymarker.If that is so his mother was probably Rachel Keith who marriedThomasBallard Jessee September 17, 1890. Thomas was also marriedfirst toSarah Skeen May 17, 1879. She died June 11, 1890.Source: Joseph Martin Jessee (jjessee@yadtel.net)

The family tree document I am getting my information from is ahandwritten foto-copy some infor is missing and the lateist date is1975 soit only reflects back from 1975. One very interesting documentwritten byAmelia Jane Jessee Oney daughter of Taze Jessee recountsletters writenhome during world war two 1941-1945 to future wife HazelZella Moore.Taze was there from Africa thru Berlin.Reminds me of DavidA Jessee's(ID18423) letter from Winchester before he was killed atGettysbury 1863.
I belong to a National Org. the North-South Skirmish Association whichislocated north west of Winchester maybe the same place. We competewithcivil war era guns.
I would like to print Taze's letter but I will need Amella'spermissionbecause they are personal letters.
