Jesse was born to Richard Eaton and Mary Polly Robertson. Jesse's siblings included Absolum, Malinda, Squire, Mary Polly, Elizabeth, Lucinda, Rachel, Richard, Daniel and Sarah Ellen. Most of the family followed Daniel Parker (Pilgrim Predestinarian Church founder) to Texas in 1833. Several family members are buried in the Eaton Cemetery, Limestone Co, TX.
Jesse served in James S. Sutton's Company during the Mexican War in 1847-48. He married Elizabeth J. Huffman in 1849 in Anderson Co., TX. Jesse and Elizabeth's children included: William H. (1852-1864), Mary O. (1853-1906), Malinda Caroline (1857-1933), Martha J. (1859-1864), John Daniel (1861-1942), Thomas Jefferson (1863-1929), Laura Elizabeth (1865-1907), and twins Adeline (1869-1930) and Emeline (1869-1883).

EATON, MR.
A Mr. Eaton, living near the Park, in a tent, died Monday evening, of a congestive chill. Mr. Eaton had been suffering with the dropsy over fifteen years, and leaves a wife and seven children in very destitute circumstances. Two of the children are now sick, and the mother is entirely without money, or even bread for her little ones. She says she is willing to work, but cannot, of course, leave her sick children.
Mr. T. M. Wright, assistant Deputy Sheriff, ordered a coffin from the undertaker last night, and will see that the man is decently buried. This is a case that calls for sympathy, and we trust an effort may be made at once to raise money to assist the widow and her helpless family. We have been informed that Mr. Eaton did excellent service for Texas during the Mexican war. He has resided in this county for the past five years. [Denison Daily News (Denison, Tex) Mar 11, 1873;)
