JESSE'S GRANDMOTHER LIVIED TO BE 116 YEARS OLD, WHILE HIS GRANDFATHER ONLY LIVED TO BE 36. WHILE JESSE'S GRANDMOTHER LOOKED VERY INDIAN, PICTURES OF HER CHILDREN DID NOT SHOW THE SHARPER INDIAN FEATURES.

THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PASSED FROM JESSE TO HIS GEORGE C AUSTIN AND IN TURN TO GEORGE C AUSTINS SON GEORGE LYMAN AUSTIN AND THEN ONTO GEORGE L AUSTIN'S CHILDREN. THIS BOOK DATES BACK INTO THE 1850 AND 1860'S PROBABLY IN NIAGARA COUNTY NEW YORK OR MAYBE OSWEGO CO NEW YORK. CENSUS STATES THAT JESSE'S FATHER, GEORGE AUSTIN, WAS BORN IN OSWEGO CO NEW YORK.
