I am struggling with this line too but don't think it goes through Jesse B. Jillson.Here is my best theory to date.
Jesse's marriage record states his parents were David and Sarah (Eddy) Jillson.It is possible that he is the son of John F. Lawton and Sarah Frances Eddy Jillson who were married in Attleboro 1882.Jesse was born 1887 in South Attleboro, MA but there is no trace of John and Sarah Lawton in the 1900 Census.However the 1900 Census of Attleboro, MA does show a Jesse Jillson living at the home of William and Mary Mahler at the age of 14.This family lived in South Attleboro, MA on Cumberland Avenue.Jesse was not their son but working for them as a Farm Hand.Another possible clue it that Jesse is not a name common to the Jillson family but is however the name of the brother of John F. Lawton (Jesse B. Lawton).
More research required
