Note: The death date for John comes from a web source, and has not been independently confirmed. Though he likely has no grave marker, it is highly likely that he is buried in the Little Hope Cemetery where his nephew Gustave Bilbo is buried, his nephew William Hamilton Jett Jr. is buried, and his sister-in-law, Clara Jett (wife of his half brother, W. H. Jett Sr.) is buried.
John was the third of ten known children born to Hamilton Jett of Lawrence County, Mississippi, and the youngest of three children born to Hamilton Jett's second wife, Martha E. McGraw. He was married in Lawrence County, MS on 18 May 1854 to Martha Fox, b. NC c. 1836, living in 1880, but dead by 1910, the daughter of Richard Fox and Mary Thomas of North Carolina and Lawrence Co., Mississippi.
John and Martha both appear with their respective parents in Lawrence Co., MS in 1850, and in 1860 were living there, married, with two children. By 1864 they were living in Texas, and in 1870 they were living in Harrison Co., TX with three children. In 1880, John is not found, but Martha, age 46, was living in Marion Co., TX with her brother, Robert L. Fox, age 64, her sister, Jane T/F _______, age 56, her daughter, Mollie E.

In that census, Jett was incorrectly given the middle initial E instead of M, his age was slightly overstated as being 80, and his father's birthplace was given as Louisiana (no, he lived in Louisiana as a young man, but was born in Virginia).
