Jesse Haston, son of Daniel

Missouri Intelligencer (1st newspaper printed west of the Mississippi River): In the early months of 1820, there were seven mentions of a Haston having mail in the Post Office of Franklin, Missouri. The name is "James" in the first three issues, but is "Jessee" in the last four. "James" must have been an error, because there was no James Haston there at that time. Beginning in the April 1 issue, Jessee had two letters waiting to be picked up. Franklin was the first county seat of Howard County, MO. The "old" Franklin (founded 1816) was washed away in the Missouri River floods of 1826-27. New Franklin was established NE of the original site. Franklin, MO was the starting point of the Santa Fe (New Mexico) Trail, a vital hub for westward expansion.
