Scotty, Thanks, that's great. As to the James family that I mentioned, the one that is of the most interest is that of Amos Love and Margaret James, who I think were the parents of the John Love who was co-executor of Juniper Hall Sr's will. I also think John was the husband of Juniper's daughter Elizabeth. They lived in Laurens Co Ga, and Amos was the son of Amos Love and Mary Ingram. There were a number of families that seemed to intermarry a lot and move around together, others being the Kenan and Norris families, and the Braswell/Bracewell family.

I'll pass this e mail onto Mike. I recently also finished an excellent bio on Frank and Jesse James. I will re-check for their families' origins prior to Missouri and let you know if it mentions No Carolina.
