2. i. JESSE 2 TATOM, b. Bef. 1770, Sampson/Halifax County, NC; d. Bef. 1850, Bladen County, NC. 3. ii. JOSHUA TATOM. iii. LABAN TATOM. iv. RICHARD TATOM. 4. v. SUSANNAH TATOM. Generation No. 2 2. JESSE 2 TATOM (RICHARD 1 ) was born Bef. 1770 in Sampson/Halifax County, NC, and died Bef. 1850 in Bladen County, NC. He married CHARITY ELKINS in Sampson County, NC. She was born in Sampson County, NC. Notes for JESSE TATOM: Jesse Tatom was born in Halifax or Sampson County. He is the proven son of Richard Tatom. He moved and settled in NE Bladen County. He is proven to be the father of Olen Tatom through bible records. It is a certainty that Theophilus was also a son, since he and Olen are closely associated in many records. Also included in records with them were Clabourn, Owen, and Richard Tatom who were most likely children of Jesse also. Richard Tatom, Jesse' brother, was the only other Tatom in Bladen at the time and he did not live in the same area as Jesse. He lived on the other side of the Cape Fear near Robeson County. Therefore, it is fairly safe to assume that these 5 were Jesse's sons.

Ordered that they, the said sureties, remain as such till the child is born. 10 May 1791 Child- Charity Elkins, being convened before this court on a charge of being delivered of a child and refused to declare the reputed father, whereof ordered she enter into bond in the sum of 100 pounds for the maintenance of said child.

He was wounded in the hard fought Battle of Fredericksburg and hospitalized in Richmond, Virginia, where his young wife, while expecting her first child, went and nursed him back to health. Years afterward, while attending a party in Chadbourn, NC, at the home of an old war comrade of his, his daughter Mae, was told by this comrade that in the thick of battle another comrade was wounded on the open battlefield and unable to seek safe cover, whereupon Sykes went out on the field and brought the wounded soldier back on his shoulders with enemy bullets in great numbers filling the air about him. In keeping with most war veterans, he seldom mentioned his battle experiences. He served 7 24 September 2008 9:55 AM
