We definitely need to persue this. I do recall my dad saying his dad (John W.) lived in OK for a time. If that is true, then James could have very well stayed there while his sons moved to Texas. I know that Jesse's twins were born in Little River Co, AR in 1879, but by 1880 they had moved to the top of the state to Yell Co. Apparently they did move around. I will try looking in the OK 1900 Census to see if I can find them. Let me know if you can think of other clues.
