He was the son of Francis Appleton (1733–1816) and Elizabeth (née Hubbard) Appleton (1730–1815).[1] He graduated from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1792.[1] CareerAfter graduating from Dartmouth, Appleton taught at several institutions including Amherst College and then worked at a parish in Hampton, New Hampshire. In the early 19th century, he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from both Dartmouth and Harvard University. In 1807, he was appointed president of Bowdoin, where he remained until he died of tuberculosis in 1819. A congregationalist minister and prominent Christian lecturer, Appleton was notably determined to make Bowdoin students more pious. He worked at the school, right before it reached its full prominence in the 1820s, when Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Franklin Pierce attended.[1] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1810,[1] and was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1813.[2] Personal lifeHe married Elizabeth Means (1779–1844).

Together, Jesse and Elizabeth were the parents of five children who survived through infancy, including:
