My mother's maiden name is Jesse. Frank Jesse, from North Plymouth, Massachusetts is my great-uncle. There were four brothers. Manual, Frank, Ted and Antoine. Antoine is my grandfather. One of Frank's grandchildren is my cousin Scott Jesse, and we have discussed the family to great length. He is not into computers and I don't live in Plymouth anymore so I don't get to see him at all so most of what he told me about Frank and his wing of the Jesse family was verbal and in my memory. My mother's sisters have recently provided us with verbal recordings (tapes) of their early family history which I have not fully processed yet. They were all very fiercly proud hard workers, middle income, which was quite an accomplishment in the early 20th century for Portuguese immigrants to America, so you can be proud of that. They provided for their families as boat builders and fishermen. They had their own boatyard in North Plymouth. The Jesse boat building business survives to this day. They all lived on Castle Street in North Plymouth, Ma. They have many descendants who are still strongly populated in the eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island area and many of the cousins are very strongly connected. Our wing of the Jesse family (Antone's descendants) ave a family reunion every year in August at a campground in New Hampshire. My mother has told me her grandfather and grandmother (Frank's parents) were John and Mary (Jesse) that they came to North Plymouth in the late 1800s, around 1880 or 1890 from some kind of vessel by way of Bermuda. It is confirmed they came from Azores (San Miguel) but before that Portugal and even before that from France (the name Jacinth has French roots) but we have not been able to trace that far back. They are all buried in Vine Hills cemetery in Plymouth, Ma. There are many Jesse graves there, that I have visited and examined myself. A distant relative from Plymouth has given me a database and photos he was working on of the early family tree. I have been combining this with the verbal recordings and our own family photos. I would be glad to send everything I have to you if you provide me with an email address (privately). There is also a wealth of information in this blog posting that I did not have which I will "pencil in" concerning the Azores connections and locations. The pre-Plymouth history has always been a great mystery to us Jesse descendants. Our parents simply do not know, and the 1st and 2nd generations have all long since passed and kept no records. So it's up to us children to piece it all together! I have attached a photo of the four brothers, which I am told was taken on my grandfather's wedding day in Fall River, MA, sometime in the 1930s. Frank is the one with the dark moustache. They also called him "Blackie" Jesse. On Wednesday, March 4, 2009 5:56:26 PM UTC-6, Aztec wrote: I am new to this group so please be patient.
