WOW! I was beginning to think my Morrises were lying about their names!!!!
This is the first posting I've seen that relates to my line.

Yes, Jesse had both brothers and sisters. Ambrose named Jesse in his will
as one of his children, but we've always thought Jesse and his brother,
Henry, were the youngest. A DOB of 1770 makes Jesse one of the older
children. In fact, 1770 is the DOB of Jesse's brother, Ambrose Jr.
(according to census records).

Do you descend from Jesse? Will be happy to share information with you.
