Jesse enlisted in Watauga County on August 5, 1862 in Company I, 58th Regiment. He died in February, 1863, cause and place not reported (21). The Francis Marion Wilcox diary says Jesse died in 1862 in Jacksborough, Tennessee (63). Jesse was in the same unit as Marion, the 58th North Carolina Regiment. Regiment records show only that Jesse died in February, 1863, place and cause not reported. However a Confederate cemetery was discovered in 2004 in Jacksboro, the county seat of Campbell County. It contains over 50 graves of members of the 58th North Carolina Regiment, and Jesse is among them.
