Why nothing about Terry Porter’s side? She’s not a nobody.
Looks like Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
British people can be alpine, gracile med, borreby… he looks british but not average for his ethnicity.
Are there any pictures of Jesse’s parents available?
yes, he looks somewhat Mediterranean but he could be just of British Isles descent (with some German too)
