Chillicothe-born Jesse Brown is a young day laborer renting a house in Green Township. In the 1900 census, it shows his wife Mary M. (Reynolds) and their baby daughter, Pearl E., living with him. It is possible that this is the J. Brown Jesse referred to in his May, 1900, entries.
Howard is Frank Manfield’s 15 year-old brother, and Jen’s brother-in-law who lives in Chillicothe.
