Rev. Jesse T. Thames1

Male, #43264, (6 Oct 1810 - 25 Nov 1872)
Father*Rev. Cornelius B. Thames
Mother*Susannah Carver
DNA* Jesse has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Thomas Thames of Bladen Co., NC, born circa 1705/10.2 
Birth*6 Oct 1810 Jesse was born at Cumberland Co., North Carolina, on 6 Oct 1810.3 
Relocation1817 He was an accompanying familiy member in the relocation of an unknown person in 1817 at Monroe Co., Alabama; Other researchers have assumed that Cornelius B. Thames was the Cornelius Thames who was issued a passport through Indian Territory for himself, his wife, four children and seven negroes, all traveling from Beaufort District, SC. The 1810 census for the Beaufort District clearly enumerated this family with the passport as "Cornl. Tims, 1M0-9, 1M26-44, 3F10-16, 1F26-44, 7 slaves" The family with the passport appears to be the one referenced in "The Succession Records of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana 1804 - 1854": Cornelius Thames, February 22, 1821- Petition of Rachel Thames, widow of Major Cornelius Thames, who died February 1821, leaving no will and eight children. The children are all minors and their names are Reddin, Sarah, Mary, Rachel, Miss Hanson, Washington, Adeline, and Clementine. Dr. Timothy Thames, brother of the deceased, is appointed undertutor to the minors. October 16, 1827 - Petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames for a family meeting. October 16, 1827 - Family meeting recommending the sale of property it then names members whom attended. November 28, 1827 - The petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames shows she bought (this may mean she brought to the marriage) property consisting of one tract of land which was inherited from her grandfather in the State of SC. Her husband sold the land and purchased certain slaves. Her husband inherited $300 from his father's estate. She wishes the paraphernalia (pertains to parapherna or property brought to the marriage) property to be taken out of the succession etc.
The Monore County part of Alabama was not settled by white families until about 1817, and Cornelius is known to have started a church at Old Salem in Monroe Co. in 1817, it is assumed that is the year when Cornelius B. and family moved.4,5,6

Biography* Notes from Lee Y. Ponder
- Bible in possession of Elizabeth "Libby" Rice--believed to be Bible of Elizabeth A Thames, wife of Cornelius A Thames--listed death of Mollie Thames 15 Dec 1908, believed to be Mary Abigail Hart Thames. (Libby Rice). However, Mary Hart Thames d 1913 not 1908 so Mollie not this Mary. (Hub Broughton)
- 1900 census Choctaw Co AL fam 51 Mary A b May 1866 w/o Jesse E Thames.
- After Mary Abigail Hart Thames died, Elizabeth Thames, b 1871, raised Mary's dau Mary Elizabeth.
 
Biography "...there seemed to be a question [posed by Hub Broughton] whether Mollie is Mary Abigail and that Mollie died Dec 1908 according to the family bible, but that they thought Mary Abigail died in 1913. I can clear this up. Mary Abigail Hart Thames' tombstone states that she died December, 1908. She died when the youngest child, Mary, was born, which was November 9, 1908. Mary Abigail must have lingered a few weeks and died from complications of childbirth if December is the month she died. My grandmother, Addie Lee, the oldest daughter, was known as Sister, and she reared the young children after Jesse's second wife, Frances Leona (unknown last name) died on Nov 2, 1913. Maybe this is where the 1913 date came from? I understand through oral tradition that the baby Mary had mental difficulties or was slow in general. Maybe this 'baby' was reared by Jesse's sister Elizabeth (b 1871) because of these difficulties, but I always thought she was reared by my grandmother... Mary the 'baby' of that family eventually married George Barker and they had two daughters who were in an institution for mental retardation until they died. Mattie Lou Thames Turner, the mother of the cousins in Opelika, AL took financial responsibility for the two daughters before and after their mother died. "
