Sources I have seen report Jesse's name as Jesse A or J A. I found one genealogy which has the full name Jesse Alexander Gooch. "Jesse Alexander Gooch," Private Tree, name only -- Ancestry Trees, http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/RequestTreeAccess.aspx?tid=36253727&pid=18909870121 His obituary reported him born in Baldwyn, Lee County, Mississippi, in 1859, apparently based on his age as reported in all the censues but one. But Lee County was not formed until 1866, while Baldwyn was not incorporated until 1861, two years after Jesse's birth. Baldwyn formed on the new rail line, 1.5 miles from the nearest town, Carrollville. He was probably born in Carollville, or on a farm nearby. All the residents of Carrollville moved to the new town of Baldwyn. Baldwyn was across the county line of Tishomingo County and Itawamba County. These two counties were subdivided into smaller counties in 1866 (Itawamba) and 1870 (Tishomingo), two of them being Lee (1866) and Prentiss (1870) After all the subdividing, Baldwyn was left straddling the county lines of the two new counties of Lee and Prentiss. ------------------------ Located five miles north of Guntown, the main street of Baldwyn runs along the county line of Lee and Prentiss counties. The city has the unusual distinction of having been incorporated in four counties. It was incorporated by an Act of the Legislature in Tishomingo and Itawamba counties on April 1, 1861. Tishomingo County was divided into Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo in 1870, while Lee County was formed from parts of Itawamba and Pontotoc counties in 1866. Baldwyn is an outgrowth of the village of Carrollville: when the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was being built during the years of 1848 to 1861, it missed Carrollville by one and one-half miles and the citizens moved to the new town of Baldwyn. -- "Baldwyn, Mississippi," Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwyn,_Mississippi ------------------------ Researcher Winnie Yandell reports the marriage of Amanda "Danie" Barnett to Jesse A Gooch.

Jesse's mother used the name of her second husband for all her children, according to a descendant. "You will note the birthplace of his father was unknown on all census records. His father was a Mr. Jackson, who died during the Civil War. The story, as dictated by Fannie in 1965, was that he was brought by the house as a prisoner & all food was taken & they left an old blind horse & took his father away and he was never heard from again. She said Jesse regretted not having his named legally changed back to Jackson. She gave the names of his brother & sister and half-siblings & who they married, etc. A few years ago when I became interested in Genealogy, census records verified the info she had given re his family members was correct. According to the notes, he left Miss @ 18 after an altercation of some kind & went to Ft Worth, Tx area and was in Texas for about 3 yrs. Have not been able to verify this. The obit for his half brother William M Gooch mentioned a half brother, Jeff Gooch (Jesse's brother) which further confirms that his mother Jemima had indeed remarried & after the disappearance of Mr. Jackson, used the name of Gooch for all her children." -- Nita Muczynski, Ancestry Message to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 17 May 2014 Some sources suggest that Jesse and Amanda married about 1875. One genealogy has the date as 2 November 1876. This seems unlikely to me, though, since he was born about 1859, according to most of the censuses, or in 1861, according to one or more genealogies. If born in 1859, in 1875 he would be only 16 years old, which makes it seem unlikely he would marry at that time. Even less if he was born in 1861 and would be about 14. The 1930 census reports that Jesse was first married at age 18, which would make it about 1877 or 1879. But we know that the census age for their first child, W M Gooch, indicates he was born in 1878 or 1879. Jesse's birth year of 1859 was confirmed when I found his obituary on USGenWeb for Grady County, Oklahoma (See below). The date of marriage was reported on one genealogy, which provided no source information and lacked other details, but exhibited the character of family information.

In the 1900 census, three children are with Jessee. The oldest son Willey would have been out of the home on his own by then, if still alive. 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 31 July, Township 2, District 133, page 39A, Hse #513, Fam #538 Gooch, Jesse Head W M [birth date not rptd] 34 Divorced MS MS MS Farmer Rents Gooch, Jesse [sic] dau W F Feb 1884 16 Single Ind Terr MS MS Gooch, John P Son W M Aug 1886 13 Single Ind Terr MS MS Farm Laborer Gooch, Seburn D Son W M Jul 1888 11 Single Ind Terr MS MS Farm Laborer According to the 1910 census, Jesse married Frances Oneila Clark about 1906. 1910 Federal Census, Seminole County, Oklahoma, 25 April, Konawa Township, District 184, page 9B, Hse/Fam #171 Gooch, Jesse A Head M W 51 Marriage 3 Married 4 years MS US MS Farmer Rents Gooch, Francis O Wife F W 27 Marriage 1 Married 4 years 2 children/1 living TX GA TX Gooch, Fredrick M W 1yr1mo Single OK MS TX [born abt March 1909] Venita Muczynski reports that Jesse and Danie married in 1905.

Jesse was about 23 yrs older than Fannie. I have notes passed down from my grandmother, Frances Onelia Clark Gooch." -- Nita Muczynski, Ancestry Message to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 17 May 2014 The 1910 census reports that this is the third marriage for Jesse, but I have found no information on the second marriage. Most genealogies lack any info about a wife between Amanda and Francis. Jesse and Francis' granddaughter Venita Muczynski says that there was no wife between Amanda and Francis, and that Francis was the second wife. So where did this report of this as the third marriage come from? The only wife I have found information on is Danie Barnett, whom Jesse married in Mississippi in abt 1876. I understand Amanda (Danie) to be the first wife. In 1920, The Gooch family is enumerated as a second family in the household of a head of household whose surname I cannot read due to multiple overwrites. 1920 Federal Census, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, 8 January, Hugo Ward 4, District 66, page 7A, 608 West Bluff Blvd, Hse #128, Fam #134 Gouch, J A Head Rents M W 61 Married MS MS MS Farm Laborer Gouch, Fanny Wife F W 37 Married TX GA TX Gouch, Fred Son M W 11 Single OK MS TX [born abt 1909] Gouch, Vivian Dau F W 8 Single OK MS TX [born abt 1912] 1930 Federal Census, Carter County, Oklahoma, 9 April, Morgan Township, District 28, page 4A, Hse/Fam #69 Gooch, J A Head Owns M W 72 First married at 18 MS US MS Truck Farmer Gooch, Fannie Wife F W 47 First married at 18 TX GA TX Gooch, Vivian Dau F W 18 Single OK MS TX [born abt 1912] In 1940, their daughter Vivian is still living with them, now enumerated under her married name of Lewis, but she appears with no husband. Her marital status is unclear, since all the enumerator put there is the number 7. She has a 5-year-old daughter Veneta (spelled Venita in her own communication to me). Vivian's husband's WWII enlistment record in 1942 reports he was divorced, so their separation at the 1940 census probably indicates the divorce occurred before that census. 1940 Federal Census, Johnston County, Oklahoma, 8 April, Garrett Township, District 35-8, page 4B, Hse #79, Owns $200 Gooche, J A Head M W 82 Married Grade 4 b Okla Ardmore, Okla in 1935 farmer Gooche, Fanny Wife F W 57 Married Grade 8 b Texas Ardmore, Okla in 1935 Lewis, Vivian M W 29 Marital Status "7" (Divorced?)
