On December 17, 1880 the Mountain Echo reported that "Mr. J. C. McFadden, ex-Sheriff of this county after an absence of several months in Texas, returned home last Wednesday. Jesse looks well and we hope he feels the same way." This may explain why Jesse does not show up in the Laurel County Kentucky 1880 Census.

On January 30, 1880 the Mountain Echo reported that, "New Firm: William Lovelace, Jr. and Mr. John Wren have bought out the Drug Store of McFadden and Durham and ask the public to extend to them a share of patronage, and say they will give the best rates possible."
