My apologies perhaps this will help. I did not have his b or d dates. When I found him, yrs ago he was an uncle to william and I knew nothing of texas. So i paid no attention to it. Also i must have sent the wrong link. Perhaps this one is correct. Notice the siblings of jesse. Also I already knew his parents Benton and lavinia partee.
Badgett-198 is apparently living as no data is available to see.
The link supplied is not Jesse Badgett
These 2 are the same person
