Descendants of Pieter Walichs

Generation No. 10

11. JESSE¹⁰ VAN WINKLE (MICHAEL⁹, SIMEON⁸, JACOB SYMONSE⁷, SYMON JACOBSE⁶, JACOB⁵ WALICHS, JACOB⁴, PIETER JAN³, JAN PIETER², PIETER¹) was born Oct 4, 1772. He married MARY ANN BRADEN 1792. She was born 1774.

Notes for JESSE VAN WINKLE:
Jesse and Mary Ann Braden lived in Chester District, SC where several land transactions are recorded; some included son William. Several of Jesse's children continued the southern movement through Georgia into Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas; the only Van Winkle family to have taken this route. Jesse left South Carolina about 1826; he is found in Hall County, GA in 1830 living near several of his children. At this point his movement becomes unclear. He may have moved to Jackson County, AL where a Jesse, presently unconnected to earlier generations, but who was the progenitor of a present-day branch of the family in Texas, had land in the late 1820s. This latter Jesse is on the AL 1830 census but may be another individual since family make-up on the Georgia and Alabama census lists are different and which, if the unexplained indicate two Jesse's. A second marriage for Jesse could explain the differences in the census readings if the census dates were far enough apart to permit travel time from Hall County, GA to Jackson County, AL. He is probably the Jesse listed in the Georgia 1840 Hall County census based on daughter Elizabeth's residence there. David Lawson's obituary sketch says he lived in Georgia for several years with his parents before they moved to Mississippi. A Jesse appears on Georgia 1830, Merriwether County; this is probably the same individual as 1840 since they left South Carolina in the late 1820s.
