Hello to all, this message is for Robert # 190 above.
I was recently in Northern Texas where James James is buried and did some research for his surviving line of Dayton, Ohio.
Turns out that the James family started out in Virginia in the early 1700’s.
This James James is a great uncle to the famous James (Jesse) James.
In newspaper articles of St. Joseph, MO. Jesse James wife was said to have gone to Northern Texas to visit family, this was just after Jesse’s death, as she needed to get away from the frenzy in MO.
James James the uncle is buried at the Gooseneck Cemetery, Graham, TX.
I had cleaned the stone and photographed it for his family in Ohio.
The family told me that Jesse’s mothers’ line as well descended from Virginia, back in the day, possibly a distant shirt-tail relation to the James family of the ‘Old World’, we’re talking 1600’s.
