Notes
a. Note:   Not sure of Jesse's death date, though I will lean towards Hal's date because I cannot locate Jesse in the Alabama Death Index.
  Hal Prestridge's Website shows his death date at 1 July 1907.

  Cobb Co is neighbored to the southwest by Paulding Co and the northwest by Bartow Co. I would also theorize that Linney's maiden name is Kemp, not Camp as listed on daughter Mary's death certificate, based on the families on either side of her and Jesse in the 1850 Census and that she was born in SC, just as they were. I would guess she most like the daughter of John H. Kemp.*

 "The Roanoke Leader"
 Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama
  NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, August 22, 1917
  GENERAL ROW AT OMAHA
  The Leader learns that a row occurred Monday night at a negro church near Omaha in which several young men were wounded. According to our information, the difficulty came up with Joe Webb, a white man, tried to collect an alleged account from a negro whose name were were unable to learn. There were two or three participants on either side, and in the melee, Joe Webb was stabbed and seriously injured, while Jesse Prestridge, another white man, was shot in the thigh. One or more negroes were badly beaten up, we learn and arrests have been made.
