"Jesse Elbert Sanders was the fourth son of Sampson and Rhoda Redwine Sanders. He was born in Randolph County, North Carolina, 7 August 1831. He was a very industrious young man; he was tall and lean with brown hair and blue eyes. He had great ambitions for life, and was an adventurous person.

During this time many settlers, including Jesse Elbert's brothers and uncles, were homesteading land, so with his relatives he came to Alabama where he homesteaded 160 acres of the finest timberland. The land was located in a valley near the foot of the Appalachian Mountain Range, in what would later become Jackson County, Alabama.

Jesse Elbert returned then to North Carolina and sold his land there, and purchased land on big Coon Creek, near the 160 acres that he had already homsteaded. He later sold his land on big Coon Creek and purchased the land of Uncle Joe Sanders [Joe Sanders, Jr., who married Deborah Saunders-gs], located at the head of Mud Creek."

Jesse Elbert Sanders donated the land for the Sanders Cemetery at Kyles where many members of his family are buried.
