Jesse Balinger1 
M, (26 December 1799 - 9 January 1875)
Jesse Balinger was born on 26 December 1799 at Jefferson City, Jefferson County, Tennessee.2 He married, at age 20, Elizabeth Fetter, age 18, daughter of Samuel Fetter and Hannah Ullery, on Thursday, 31 August 1820 at Miami County, Ohio.1,3 Jesse Balinger died on 9 January 1875 at Clayton, Miami County, Ohio, at age 75 years and 14 days.2 He was buried in the Harris Creek Cemetery, located in Bradford, Miami County, Ohio.2
The "A Pioneer History of Wayne Township, Darke Co., Ohio" was published in 1901. Samuel Long helped to preserve the biographies for the families living in the area at that time. On page unknown we find a short sketch for Jesse describing his family at that time:
Jesse Ballinger was to the southeast on the out-skirts of the Stillwater and Swamp Creek Settlement, whose wife, "Aunt Betts" called, was a daughter of Sam Fetters an old Pioneer Settler of the first named settlement, and though deprived of opportunity of schooling in youth, was a woman of motherly heart, valued information, and a lot of mother wit. These parents knew the whole page of pioneer times. Of the children there were Elim, Samuel, Isaac, Daniel, John, Jesse, Stephen, Jane, Hannah, and Elizabeth. They grew to mature years as citizens, and of the descent there is a small generation.2
