Not sure if this will help or not.My great-great grandfather was Jesse Lucast Sims, from PA who ended up in Kingston, WI (Green Lake County) running the Kingston Inn in the 1870s.He had owned land just outside of Kingston earlier, and also in Waushara County in 1860.
Jesse's father may have been Jesse also...I find a Jessewho served in the war of 1812 from PA.Jesse Lucast was born in 1815 in Little Broken Straw, PA .
Jesse L. married Ruth Ann Price from PA, and they had William , Mary Jane Elizabeth (my g.grandmother), Calista and Hattie.
I have almost nothing on any of the children other than Mary Jane. William and my gr grandfather (George Chatwood) ran a saloon together at one point, in Markesan, WI.
