• Notes

  Jesse Painter was the son of Robert Painter and Mary Haines and grandson of John Painter who came from Pennsylvania to six miles north of Front Royal Virginia in 1750 where he built a large stone house and mill. The painters were Quakers. Jesse was born on his father's farm, obtained by John Painter from Lord Fairfax in 1758. In 1837 he married Mary A. White in Virginia. In September 1838 he and his wife and infant son went to Lewis County Missouri and settled on bottom land. The country was new; the swamps undrained; and malarial diseases abounded. He struggled several years with disease and floods. Then he went to Wisconsin where his brother Richard lived. He located on land that is now Milwaukee. Not liking the climate, he returned, with his family, to Virginia where he died in a few years. He was buried near his father and grandfather on the edge of the old farm at Mt. Zion Church, on the Winchester and Front Royal Turnpike. -- Taken from notes recorded by Gene Taylor possibly based on Dan Stevens' book.
