To give a person “jesse” meant “to beat him, or to scold him violently.” (Thornton, American Glossary, 1:493–494; for its use among the Mormons, see, for example, JS, “The Globe,” Nauvoo Neighbor, 17 Apr. 1844, [2].)

Nauvoo Neighbor. Nauvoo, IL. 1843–1845.

We ask no favors of this little puny world; all we ask is for the Lord to dictate and we will do it, and what the head says it is the word of the Lord. If we can get the sanction and consent of the Camanches or Cherokees to locate among them, or any other tribe there is where we want to go. He wants to see the thing move on with rapidity, so that we can find a place where we can establish ourselves. He dont want to be poked away on the Pacific Ocean. This whole world is his home and he intends to live in it, and he wants to be where he can execute vengeance on those who have shed the blood of the prophets. He will wait for the word go, but he feels impatient. He shall not go till he is sent but he is in a hurry. He feels to demur in toto to the idea of raising of objections to the suggestions of our head. [p. [95]]
