Biography
Before the war, the Forrest brothers were engaged in the slave trade at Memphis, Tennessee, and up and down the Mississippi River.[1][2] Nathan Bedford Forrest's five younger brothers were "ideal partners" for building an interstate trading network, and "over the course of a few years, all the Forrest brothers—including the two youngest, Jesse and Jeffrey—participated in building a formidable slave-trading operation."[1]: 58 At the time of the 1860 U.S. census, "J. E. Forrest" lived in the seventh ward of Memphis with his wife Sarah, their four young children, and a man, Nicholas Innes, who listed his occupation as "pilot."[3] Forrest listed his occupation as "negro trader," and he owned $3,000 in real property and $6,000 in personal property (which would have included enslaved people of whom he had legal ownership).[3]
Jesse Forrest fought alongside his brother Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in the American Civil War,[4] as well as under command of other Confederates such as Gideon J. Pillow.[5] He enlisted as a private in the Tennessee Mounted Rifles and was a lieutenant colonel by 1862.[6] News reports during and after the war describe him as a colonel; the Confederate Officers' Card Index lists his highest rank as lieutenant colonel.[7] He was listed as colonel commanding the 21st Tennessee Cavalry Regiment when he was injured in a fight near Decatur in 1864.[8] After the war he worked as an "extensive levee and railroad contractor, farmer, and dealer in livestock."[6] A father of six, in later life he owned three large plantations at Walnut Bend, Arkansas.[9] He died of "malarial hemaeturia" in Memphis, Tennessee in 1889.[10]
