Natasha....These look like REALLY good possibilities for being your family members, but of course I have no definite proof.
From California Death Records on Rootsweb.com:
Last Name First Name Middle Birth Date Mother Maiden Father Last Sex Birth Place Death Place Residence Death Date SSN Age
DENHAM EMMETTE D 10/09/1913 M ARKANSAS SANTA CLARA 03/06/1970 488-26-5455 56 yrs
---------------------------------
Possibly Emmette's father. This is from the Social Security Death Index on Rootsweb.com:
Name Birth Death Last Residence Last Benefit SSN Issued
NELSON DENHAM 12 Feb 1883 Aug 1967 71631 (Banks, Bradley, AR) (none specified) 432-62-5572 Arkansas
---------------------------------
These census records are from HeritageQuest Online.

------------------------------
The information on this 1900 census fits as a possibility for being Jesse's birth family, as far as Jesse's month/year of birth and where his parents were born (compare with where he said they were born on the 1920 census).
