Jesse first married to Dovey Ella Coffey Feb 15 1899 in Sumner, Garfield County, Oklahoma. Of this union 5 known children were born: Levi Lee (1904-1987), Orpha James (1901-1975), Clarence Harvey (1902-1968), Leslie (1906-1971)and Loyd Jessie (1908-1996).

By 1915 he was living in Ellicott, El Paso, Colorado where he ranched for a time before selling out and moving to Michigan and worked for the Ford Company. In Michigan he married at least 3 more times to: Pearl Boyd in 1918, Florence (Hills) McBeth in 1919, and May Cobernus in 1929.
