General Notes
- Tom Charles, grandson of Jesse James SISSOM, has a remembrance document
  which shows Jesse born September 20, 1891, died June 8, 1918. Using this information would mean that Jesse was 26 at the time of his death not 28 as indicated on his death certificate.
  
  According to information received from James D. SISSOM, Jesse died from industrial dye poisoning contacted while working at the Peerless Woolen Mills located in Rossville, GA.
  
  Lilly CAHOON, Niece of Minnie SISSOM, says that Jesse and Minnie are buried in City Cemetery, Manchester, TN in unmarked graves. The graves are located in the front, right side portion of the cemetery as viewed from the entrance to the cemetery from the street.
  
  Buried at Ragsdale Cemetery, Manchester, TN according to information received from John SISSOM. It appears from later information received from John SISSOM that the burials in Ragsdale are those of Jesse Francis SISSOM and Minnie Sparager. It is now believed that Jesse James and Minnie HAYES SISSOM are buried in unmarked graves at City Cemetery, Manchester, Coffee County, TN.
