Is this one family or two?
It appears from the census records that by 1820 Elizabeth was running the farm in Bedford County while Jesse was living in Campbell County. The adult woman listed with Jesse in the 1820 and 1830 censuses could be a housekeeper or a second (unknown) wife. Given the presence of 5 children under the age of 10 in Jesse's household in the 1820 census, it seems likely that they (all the children after Milton) were not Elizabeth's children, but the children of either a housekeeper or (more likely) a second wife. The children whose names are unknown might have been Jesse's step-children.

Jesse Jones
1 male and 1 female aged 26-44 [born c.1766-1784]
2 females aged 10-15 [born c.1795-1800]
1 male and 3 females aged under 10 [born c.1801-1810]
3 slaves
The children are assumed to be Nancy, Martha, Elizabeth, Joseph, Sally and Eliza.

Jesse Jones
1 male and 1 female aged 26-44 [born c.1776-1794]
1 male aged 16-25 [born c.1795-1804]
1 male and 1 female aged 10-15 [born c.1805-1810]
2 males and 3 females aged under 10 [born c.1811-1820]
no slaves reported
The children are assumed to be Joseph, Ann Eliza, Elizabeth Frances, 2 unknown sons born after 1810, and one unknown daughter born after 1810.
That leaves 1 male and 1 female aged 10-15 unaccounted for. Since Milton was born about 1810, they were most likely born before that. They are not in the 1810 census, so probably not Jesse's children. They could be servants, or could be the children of a housekeeper or second (unknown) wife. (Alternately, Jesse could have included Milton and one of the girls presumed to be living with Elizabeth, if they moved back and forth between the homes.)
