According to an article on William Webb (born 1741) and
his family on page 226 in the book HENRY COUNTY, KENTUCKY,
1798-1995, William's sons Jesse and Forrest died young
(before 1795) and are both buried in Virginia.
I am a descendant of William Webb and the transcriber of
the 1810 Henry county census. I do not think that the two
males, age 16-26, in William's household in 1810 should
necessarily imply that Jesse and Forrest were living at
that time. They may instead be William's two youngest
living sons, John and James, who appear also in their own
households in the same census. Such duplication is not
uncommon in these census records.
Did you know that William Webb (born 1741) had a brother
Forrest born 1743? I have very little information on his
family but I note that Forrest had a son William Webb born
about 1773 who apparently died in Fayette county, Indiana,
in 1863. Forrest also had sons named Jesse and Forrest.
Perhaps, your Jesse was descended through this line?
William Webb (born 1741) also had a brother Jesse about
whom nothing is presently known.
