22. Jesse Cleveland Coffee was born before 1755 in South Carolina. Jesse died in South Carolina circa 1807.

Some descendants of Jesse spelled their name Coffey while others spelled it Coffee. It is spelled Coffee here for my convenience.

Jesse Cleveland Coffee and Nancy Alexander⁶⁵ appeared in the census in 1800 in Pendleton Dist., SC.⁶⁶

Some family researchers claim that Jesse was born c1855 in VA and died c1807 in the Pendleton Dist., SC. Some write that his parents were Joel Coffee [sic], and Martha Seely, and that he married Nancy [lnu] and was the father of Joel, born c1799 in the Pendleton Dist., and married Martha "Patsy" Cobb. Joel is said to have died Sep. 15, 1849 and is buried in the Old Kingwood Cemetery. The only reference I have found thus far to any Kingwood cemetery, places it in Preston Co., WVa. Nancy Alexander⁶⁷ was born before 1765 in Virginia. She appeared in the census in 1810 in Pendleton Dist., SC.⁶⁸
