JESSE GRIGSBY
Jesse Grigsby was born in Roane County, Tennessee, on 23 Feb. 1819, a son of George and Rebecca James Grigsby. He was educated in Monroe County, Tennes­see, and was married in Tennessee in 1837. The family then moved to Pulaski County, Missouri, where he farmed and raised stock until 1840. They moved to Greene County, Missouri, and continued farming there for ten years.
On 19 Feb. 1850, they started across the plains for California, coming via the Green River route and South Pass, entering the state by the Truckee route. They arrived in Napa County, California, on 18 Sept. 1850, and settled with his brother, Capt. John Grigsby, who was then living in the Napa Valley. There Jesse began farming and stock raising again. In 1872 he sold his valley property to D. Emerson, and moved to Berryessa valley. After one year there, he gave his farm to his son, P.O., and retired from the business.
During his residence in Napa County, Jesse served two terms as Supervisor and later was City Marshal of Napa. In August, 1886, he had an accident in which he was seriously injured, according to the newspaper account, because he weighed nearly 300 pounds.
Jesse's health declined during his last years, when he was subject to fre­quent and severe attacks. He died'on 25 May 1890, at his home on Coombs Street in Napa, and was buried from the Christian Church there.
The children of Jesse and his wife (Margaret R. Alexander) were born in Missouri and California. His wife and seven children survived him-Pulaski D., William T., John W., Rebecca, Willis P., James, and Jesse F. Grigsby.
