Marty and Karla Grant

(1) Jesse Barfield (c1770 NC - aft 1850 Washington Co., FL). In Wilkinson Co., GA in 1830. Not found in 1840. In Washington Co., FL in 1850. Children (per 1850 census) born ca 1815 NC through ca 1840 GA. No wife at home in 1850.

(2) Jesse Barfield (c1780 SC - aft 1850 Macon Co., GA). Son of Barrett Barfield (c1750 SC - aft 1850 Macon Co., NC) who was living with him in 1850. In Marion Dist., SC in 1810, 1820 and 1830. Jesse was in Macon Co., GA in 1840 and 1850. 1831 deed gives wife's name as Milly. His wife was Nancy (c1790 SC) per 1850 census. Children (per 1850 census) born ca 1815 SC through ca 1832 SC.

(3) Jesse Barfield (c1783 SC - aft 1850 Warren Co., MS). In Warren Co., MS 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850. Wife unknown, born 1780/90 per 1830 census. She was dead before 1840. Had a neighbor in 1840 named Francis Barfield (1800/10). If that is Jesse's son he could be named in honor of grandpa Francis Floyd.

(4) Jesse Barfield (c1795 NC - aft 1850 Winston Co., MS). Wife in 1850 is Elizabeth (c1811 AL). Children born AL ca 1833 to 1842, then MS after that. In Macon Co., AL in 1840, and Winston Co. MS in 1850.

I'd say that Jesse (c1780), son of Barrett is a prime choice, as is Jesse (c1783) of Warren Co., MS. Those two are the more likely matches, but which of them (if either) married Jane Floyd?
