She married, first, a man named _____ Fiore. To this marriage was born a son, Ronald Frederick Fiore, on Jun 4,1934 in Brooklyn,NY. Ronald's surname was changed to Wynne upon Jennie's remarriage, but he changed it back to Fiore in 1951 according to Social Security records.

She married, second, on July 3,1937 in Brooklyn,NY, William Joseph Wynne. The family is found in the 1940 census in Brooklyn. William was born on Nov 17,1913 in Brooklyn, a son of William Wynne and Elizabeth (Bowen) Wynne. He died near Albuquerque,NM on Dec 7,1998. This marriage ended in divorce, but not before the birth of a daughter, Virginia, on Jan 6,1938 in Brooklyn.

Her third husband was Lloyd Barker, c.1942. To this marriage were born two children, Eileen, aged 2 in March 1949, and Michael, aged 9 mos. in March 1949. Jennie murdered Lloyd in March 1949. Upon her arraignment, it became known that Lloyd was a son of Ma Barker, which had been unknown to his associates in Colorado. Jennie claimed she was in fear for her life and the lives of her children, and claimed insanity as a defense. She spent the remainder of her life at Colorado State Hospital for the criminally insane, where she is found as a patient in the 1950 census.

The two younger children, Eileen and Michael Barker, were infants at the time of the murder. They undoubtedly became wards of the state, and their ultimate fate and whereabouts is unknown to this day. Son Ronald Fiore is found in the 1950 census at a boarding school in Denver. He died in 1983. Daughter Virginia eventually married, and is living today (2023).
