The Jesse James gang used to be friends with my great-grandmothers' brothers. When she was still living, she used to tell of "those boys" coming over to her house when she was a little girl. She also said that no one messed with those "James' boys". I love to hear of things that happened in the "old days". ....who doesn't? Also, back in those days, men sometimes changed their names.....especially when they had more than one wife. A step-mother I had had said that her gg-grandfather had a few wives and he'd changed his name. So, no telling what her "real" family name is. Anyway, that my have gotten away from the bloodline. But, I wanted to share that. Thank You, Mandy On Sun, 2 Apr 2000 14:48:59 EDT SandKatC@aol.com writes: > Hi Nalora: > > I wonder who he was?
