Children — born in Jessamine Co., KY:

5. James Carver BOATMAN, b. ca. 1817; d. ca. 1894; m. ca. 1838, Martha COSBY

Secondary sources are not in agreement as to the parents of Jacob or William Jefferson. Some say William Jefferson's wife, Margaret BOATMAN is their daughter and that William Jefferson is son of Jesse & Sally (HUNTER) BOATMAN.
John Wesley's birthyear has to be wrong because there was only one son born by 1810.
