Jesse and his sons Ira A., (Rev.)Hiram, David were Petitt Jurors January 17, 1837 in Murray Co., GA David was a Grand Juror March 1, 1839. In 1840 Jesse and Sarah Ann had one son at home two females in the household and Sarah Ann. Their daughter Didama and family were living in the adjoining household with one child (Martha).
Jesse and Sarah apparently lived in Murray Co, GA until 1849 when their last child Katherine Douglass married. Most of their children had married in Murray County. Jesse and Sarah had moved by 1850 to Gilmer County, GA with Calvin Douglas, their son, and lived by others from McMinn Co, TN.
