The William Grinstead Family in America (Gorrell Shumaker and John L. N. Grinstead, 1974):
pg 143: "Jesse T. Grinstead (10/10/1810 - 3/15/1880) married 1/8/1833 (1) Mary Davis. Nine children: Adelia C., Benjamin Franklin, Mary Ann, Henry, Elijah, Jane, Lucinda, Thomas, and Josephine. Later, Jesse T. married in 1870 (2) Kate (or Edna) Malaby, and she bore him three additional children: Jesse E, Jasper F, and Icy Grinstead.
Jesse was born in Virginia; came to Jennings County, IN with his father in 1823, and moved on to Howard County, IN in 1864."
DEATH:
An undated newspaper clipping at Find-a-Grave Memorial # 43112980 says that Jesse T. Grinstead died on the evening of March 15 of consumption. He was 68. "Mr. Grinstead was one of Ervin's energetic farmers, and leaves his family in comfortable circumstances financially." The funeral was held at the Bethel M. E. Church. He was buried in the Union cemetery.
Jesse Grinstead is not in the mortality schedule of the 1880 census. Find-a-Grave says that he died in 1879 and The William Grinstead Family in America says that he died in 1880.
