Raspbian Jessie (not Debian Jessie) uses systemd by default. I found the 
following instructions worked well on my R-Pi 3 board:

<http://www.circuitbasics.com/how-to-set-up-a-static-ip-on-the-raspberry-pi/>

I too found it really confusing that many of the files we formerly used 
to configure networking are still present but have no effect. I do not 
know what all is involved in re-configuring to not use this newer method.
