TP was a teacher and was a key figure in the Cotton Hill Seminary. The civil war dealt it a blow it never recovered from.

He was married three times, once to Susan Maleah, who died early in their marriage with no known issue, Mary M. Boyette and Martha Frances Roberts.

This is the Thomas P. Jester that is falsely attributed to being the son of Levi Jester, who served in the RW.
