Note: {geni:occupation} AJ: This Jesse is solid {geni:about_me} Andrew Jarrett's guess is that this Jesse belongs here. James Roosevelt Tatum's book states he 'might' be Hugh's brother. I think it is more likely he is his cousin because we know that this Jesse's father was also named Jesse and there was an Uncle of this Jesse named Jesse (married to Amy, and they had kids). Seems a good fit but not yet proven.

Jesse was born between 1802-1805 in South Carolina . He died after 1880 and was buried in an unmarked grave in the Roswell Methodist Church Cemetery in Roswell , Ga. He married Sarah E. Rawson ( Rowzee ) on April 9, 1829 in Elbert County , GA. Sarah was born Dec., 1811 in Virginia and died after 1900.

Hi, Andrew,
I looked at your Geni tree this morning and found some things that I know to be wrong under George W. Tatum. Mettie Paris was not his daughter. Her father was George's younger brother Jesse Alphus Tatum. Nancy Coleman was also not his daughter. She was the daughter of George W's sister Mary Frances ("Fannie") Tatum Coleman and her husband Hosea Coleman. I've never come across Becky Tatum. I'd be interested to know where you found her, so I can add her to my tree.
I see that you've cited the Roosevelt Tatum book. Roosevelt made the assumption that the descendants of Jesse and Sarah Tatum were related to the descendants of Hugh, but he couldn't figure out how. There is a possibility that the two branches of the Tatum family are related but I've been trying for years to find proof. We've even DNA tested direct descendants of both Jesse and Hugh. Their DNA does not match. This of course does not mean that they are not related. One or the other of them could have been adopted or illegitimate or the first common ancestor is one or more generations back from Jesse and Hugh.
Jesse's DNA does not match any other known Tatum line. He has Allen DNA and closely matches a number of descendants of a man named George Allen. In the several years since my father Robley Henson Tatum was tested, no other Tatum/Allen hybrids have been added to the Tatum DNA project who could not be easily traced back to Jesse and Sarah. The longer this goes on the more convinced I've become that our Jesse is probably the first Tatum to have Allen DNA. There was an older Jesse Tatum who lived in Elbert County at the same time our Jesse and Sarah did. According to census records, which at the time only contained first names of the head of household, this Jesse had a male in his household in the right age group to be our Jesse, but we've never been able to find any evidence that the two were indeed father and son (or more likely grandfather and grandson.) We did find that the older Jesse (whom we call Rev. Jesse, because he fought in the Revolutionary War), lived on land that belonged to his neighbor William Allen. William was a prominent citizen in Elbert County. I've speculated that perhaps William, who was married, had an affair with one of Rev. Jesse's daughters and that our Jesse was actually William's child. He might have been raised as a Tatum to protect William from scandal, and in exchange for their silence Rev. Jesse and his family were allowed to live on William's land. All this is pure speculation on my part. Perhaps we'll find out if one day someone who can trace directly back to William takes the DNA test and closely matches our Jesse. If that ever happens I'll let you know. {geni:marriage_order} 1
