How true. I have James, Jr's. documents even. They still wouldn't let my grandmother join on him. They said it was impossible for his wife, Amey Lanier, to have first married a man (James) so much older than she (20 years), and then marry a man fourteen years younger than she was, Judge James Marion Kelly (See Kelly's Reports) He was once Court Reporter for Ga Supreme Ct., I think. It is true, though. I can now prove that!
