Jesse Emmanuel "Edwin" Brent Jr's father was Jesse Emanuel "Jess" Brent Sr. (1884 - 1955) and his mother was Ludye Hemingway Brent (1893 - 1967). He had siblings James Wilson, Charlton Giles, Catherine "Kitty" Drake, Edith Drake, George Clark, and Wilson Hemingway Brent.
Jesse married Alice Ruth Hayes (born 1912) on June 11, 1930 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and they had four children - 2 sons and 2 daughters: Lea and Howard and Betty Jo and Barbara Brent.
Throughout his life, Jesse liked to be called a "river rat" because he began as a deckhand and rose to be the founder of one of the largest Mississippi River towboat companies. He was also active in state and national politics - he actively worked for President Nixon's re-election campaign in 1972 and was a support of Senator John C. Stennis, who was a Democrat running for a seventh term. (He self-identified as a "middle of the road conservative.")
