Notes for Jesse Parsons
635JESSE PARSONS.
Jesse Parsons, first son of William R. and Catherine Ward Parsons, was born in the Horse Shoe in Randolph County, Virginia. He was reared on the farm and attended the district school in the winter and made good progress for he was a faithful student. He was the first sheriff of Tucker County, having been elected twice in one year. At that time he was a conspicious figure in politics and was a lifelong loyal and ardent Democrat. He was taken prisoner during the war by Lambert's "Swamp Dragons" and carried to Wheeling, but the authorities could not find he had taken up arms against the Government, he was released and sent home and was not molested again during the war. He was plain in manner, a good citizen and one never puffed up by the honors conferred upon him.
