• Notes

  http://www.execulink.com/~lfoord/index/BettsofPEI.htm Jesse would have traveled to NB with his father and on Dec 24, 1870 he married Delilah Hoar; she was already pregnant with their first child. Their daughter Laura Myrtle was born in 1871, and a son Watson Seymour in 1875, both believed to be born in Hillsborough. In 1871, likely for financial reasons, they show in the census living with Delilah's parents. Tragedy struck in 1877 and Delilah died from consumption (TB). Curiously, neither Jesse nor his children can be found in 1881 census. Family lore suggests that the children were raised by the Hoars.
