Hi, Robert. Well, you've got the right idea, ask questions about each part of the story, some things may never be proven, or have to be deduced from other data that is reliable if it all makes sense. The more wildly romantic a story seems, the less likely it is to be valid. To finish off the tale about Jesse and William, they are 'supposed' to have bought their brides from a shipment of brides arriving in early Jamestown. Never found any validity on that one, either.
