It’s Family Time~The Jessie Gwyn Privette Family

Jessie Gwyn Privette was born 6 March 1977, a son of John Washington Privette and
Elizabeth “Bettie” Davis, all residents of Chesterfield County, South Carolina.  He was the 9th of 11 children born to John Washington and Bettie Privette.  

Jessie Gwyn Privette at about age 25 in 1902 married Lugenia J. “Lulu” McBride, age 19, daughter of Andrew J. McBride and Elizabeth R. Boatwright. No marriage licensee or announcement had been found; but the 1910 Census shows that they had been married 8 years with NO children. Census listing for the next 4 Census (1920-1950) failed to show the birth of any children to this couple. 

Jesse Gwyn Privette was a farmer like his Dad. In December 1901 John Washington Privette sold 30 acres of his Land (DB 18, Page 713-714) to his youngest son Jessie Gwyn Privette for one hundred and fifty dollars. On 11 November 1903, Jessie Gwyn Privette sold this same tract of land (DB 20, Page 195-197) to his brother, William Kenson Privette for the same price.  

Jessie Gwyn Privette died 7 October 1956 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. His wife, Lugenia J. “Lulu” (McBride) Privette died 1 March 1959 in Anson County, North Carolina. Their 54 year marriage produced no known children. 

Both are buried at Zoar United Methodist Church Cemetery.
