James E. Jesup, a native of Fayette County, Kentucky, was born December 17, 1820.  He is the fourth of a family of eight children born to Samuel B. and Catherine Jesup (nee Sidener).  The Jesup family was first represented in Kentucky by the father of Samuel B., who came from Virginia about 1802.  Samuel was born in Virginia in 1798 and consequently was about four years old when he came to Kentucky.  He was married in Bourbon County, Ky., to Miss Catherine Sidener, and in 1830 they settled in Croghan's Grove, since called Jesup's Grove; here Samuel B. Jesup died.  James E. Jesup was reared on the farm, receiving such educational advantages as the country then afforded.  In 1845, in Hopkinsville, he was married to Miss Lucy Long.  She was born in Christian County and died in Hopkinsvile.  They had eight children, five of whom are now living:  Kate, wife of D.A. Tandy of Hopkinsville; Thomas S., of Iowa; Nellie, wife of W.S. Davidson, of Iowa; James G. and Mamie C. Jesup of Hopkinsville.  His present wife, to whom he was married in Trigg County, May 21, 1879, was Mary Redd, widow of Stapleton Redd, and daughter of Moses Thompson of Trigg County, Ky.  As the result of this union, Mr. Jesup had two daughters: Hattie and Addie Jesup.  He is a member of the firm of Nelson & Jesup and deals in tobacco and grain.  Both he and his wife are honored members of the church.  The portrait of Mr. Jesup will be found in a group elsewhere.
