I happened upon this partial family tree in which someone researched some of Jessica's ancestry. I do not vouch for the accuracy. It is interesting,

If you wish to understand the culture of Appalachians, this is a good place to start. It starts way back, but explains the "border people" who settled in America. Jessie is descended from them.
