Notes for Jesse Croom
From Find A Grave (listing for Jesse Croom):
Jesse Croom (1732-1812) was born in Goochland County, Virginia, the son of Daniel Croom (1683-1734) and his second wife Susanna (1687-1754). Circa 1754, in Virginia, Jesse married Mary (circa 1735-circa 1824). Jesse Croom died in 1812 in Wayne County, North Carolina. CHILD: Charles Croom (1761-1840).

Jesse CROOM was born between 1732 and November 1734 in Goochland County, VA to Daniel Croom and his second wife, Susannah. From records I have studied, I believe Jesse came to Johnston County, NC, with his step-father, Charles HOLMES, between 1738 and 1746. Jesse would have been a young lad. In 1757 Jesse sold his inherited Virginia property, an indication that his mother most likely had recently died. Other records reveal that by 1757 Jesse owned property on the north side of the Neuse River in an area of Johnston Co. that became Wayne Co. in 1779. His land was contiguous to that of a Charles HOLMES who I believe to have been his step-father. Jesse married Mary (maiden name possibly McCLENDON (sic)) who died before 20 Feb 1817, the recorded date of her estate inventory in Wayne County. Though still circumstantial at this point, my study of NC land and deed records has given me reason to believe that Jesse's wife may have been Mary McCLENDON, a daughter of Thomas and Mary Bryan McCLENDON. This possible family connection is under study by myself and a fellow researcher, Richard Booth.

Daniel CROOM, b 1771-1774; d abt 1806; m Fnu HOOKER (Circumstantial. Based on my reading of information garnered by Elma Croom HOOKER, a descendant of Daniel and his son, William Hooker, I believe that Daniel married a daughter of Samuel C. HOOKER of Greene Co., NC. Samuel's involvement with the orphans of Daniel plus other circumstantial evidence make a strong argument that one of his daughters married Daniel CROOM. Daniel and his wife had 2 sons & 1 dau.
Jesse CROOM, b 1771-1774; d 1826 Washington Co., GA; m Jennett Lnu; 7 dau & 4 sons.
