Notes:

According to Quimby Dyer on p20 of A History of Putnam Co by Walter S McClain (www.ajlambert.com/history/hst_pct.pdf ) "Jesse Kuykendall came from Georgia in 1816 and located near Warren's Chapel, but later moved to the headwaters of Blackburn's Fork. His children were Matthew, Peter, Young, Noah, Elizabeth and Mary."

There is a Warren's Chapel Nazarene Church in Franklin Co, TN, where the federal census places Jesse in 1920. Blackburn Fork is a state scenic river in Putnam County, but was in Jackson County in 1826 when Jesse purchased land in Jackson County.

According to the attached manuscript by Harvey Draper about the Smyrna Church of Christ, Jesse Young Kuykendall was a Baptist preacher who founded that congregation, and whose family influenced it for generations. Harvey Draper was, like me (Robin), a descendant of Jesse Young Kuykendall.
