Notes 
Individual:
Jesse Franklin Gathright is sometimes listed as Franklin J. Gathright. His place of birth wa
s most likely Union County, Arkansas. This canâÇôt be established beyond a doubt because Jesse claimed both Louisiana and Arkansas as his birthplace depending on the record; some census records (1900, 1910) list Louisiana as his birthplace while other census records (1870, 1920, 1930) list Arkansas as hi birthplace. This has caused more than a few problems in ascertaining the location of earlier records for Jesse and readers are encouraged to contact Craig Gathright if they have additional information regarding this quandary.

Jesse Franklin was probably named after his uncle Jesse Franklin (b. 5 Feb 1831/GA d. 4 Jul 1 863/Vicksburg, MS) who died at the Battle of Vicksburg one year before he was born.

Jesse lived in Strong, Union County, Arkansas from the time of his birth in 1863 until at lea st 1869.

Sometime around 1870 his father, James Maddison Gathright, moved the family to Union Parish , Louisiana. This is known because Ellen Valentine Gathright, JesseâÇôs sister, was born in Louisiana on August 11, 1870.

JesseâÇôs mother, Mary Ann Newsome, was living in Hope, Hempstead County, Arkansas in 1874 whe n Loemy Perry Gathright was born. It is not known why she was in this location or if the rest of the family was with her. By 1875, when Ida Malissa Gathright was born, Mary was back in Union Parish, Louisiana.

Jesse married Cordia "Cordie" Jane Shadrick in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas on October 14, 18 91. It is likely that the young couple was residing in Oklahoma at the time and crossed the Red River to secure a marriage license, which was a common practice in those days.

Jesse and Cordia Gathright moved around a bit, but they must have decided that Texas was to t heir liking since they stayed in the state for a while before returning to Oklahoma. They were living in Collin County, Texas in 1892 when their first son, David Elmer Gathright, was born.

In 1895 the Gathright family was residing in Durant, Indian Territory when their second son , James Oliver Gathright, was born.

Jesse and Cordia returned to Texas a few years later. Their first daughter was born in Dento n County, Texas on August 3, 1898. The Gathrights stayed in Denton until at least 1903.

The Gathright family was living in Amarillo, Potter County, Texas when Cordie dies in 1933.

Eleven years later Jesse Franklin died in Amarillo. Both Jesse and Cordia Gathright are buri ed in Amarillo, Potter County, Texas.
