The interesting part being the "Jesse" in the above family, Jesse being father of Benjamin, and Jessie being Jane's first-born daughter. I'd still like stronger proof on this familial connection, but to date, none has been found. The family wa s surely limited in the Digby area at the time, which is also a strong indicator this is the correct family.
