Our family (oral) history has always held it that the infamous JAMES brothers had a connection to our Anna May "Annie" JAMES, and her father William REX JAMES. This Anna (my granduncle Alonzo Clarence POTTER married her 1 Sep 1886, probably Saline Co., MO) was born 5 Jun 1867 near Arrow Rock, Saline, MO. Wonder if anyone has any evidence...thank you.

This could go a ways toward explaining why the couple I believe to be my wife's g-grandparents told the J.P. at Washington Co. that he was over 21 and she was over 18, when a couple years later, on their son's birth certificate, they gave their ages as 19. | Kas.

CHISHOLM, CONANT "The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Saturday, May 14, 1881 A RUNAWAY COUPLE. Yesterday afternoon a young couple entered Justice ALLEN's office and blushingly informed the man of equity that they wanted to get married. Suspecting that all was not well with the elders of this loving pair, his justiceship began to question them closely, knowing the heavy penalty ($500) which could be enforced when an angry parent found that a daughter under age had been clandestinely married. The girl was compelled to admit that she was under 18 years of age and that they had run away from their home in Saline county, Kansas, for the purpose of getting married. They begged the justice to marry them as quickly as possible, for they feared that the angry father was then on their track; but with visions of a $500 fine before his eyes, the obdurate man of law steadily refused. The determined couple then sought the seductive recesses of Justice BACON's office, who quickly pronounced the fateful words which made them one for life. The couple melted into each other's arms at ninety in the shade. They gave their names as Edith CHISHOLM and William H. CONANT. Their parents are, respectively, bankers and land-holders in Saline county, Kas. It was learned that the father of the girl arrived last night and will proceed to forgive them, or charge around in search of somebody this morning. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================

An article emailed to you from The Examiner and a friend Robert Meints <Rmeints@aol.com> has sent you an article ********************************************** THE LIFE OF FRANK JAMES Living a mysterious life of crime and getting away with it, Alexander Franklin James was a product of his environment and the events of his era. Better known as "Frank" James, he was the older brother of his more famous sibling, Jesse James. He was a member of the infamous James Gang and a member of Quantrill's Raiders. "I think the legend of Frank James is able to capture people's attention even to this day, because his gang was so successful. They led a life of crime for almost two decades, and really didn't suffer too many hard times," said Gregg Higginbotham, an historian from Independence. "Frank James had an interesting life. He was a renowned bank robber, but was never convicted. He stood a fair trial and won."

BACON, BEEBEE, BELL, BRAMHALL, BULLENE, CARMAN, CARNEY, CLEMMING, CORNELL, FITZPATRICK, FORD, JUNKIN, LACHENE, LOGAN, LYNCH, OGLEBAY, ROSE, SLATHERLY, SMITH, STUNCK, WHEELOCK "The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, March 23, 1881 CITY SUMMARY. Three teams, with wagons attached, were stuck on Eleventh street at one time yesterday. A large number of workmen are busy clearing away the debris of the late fire on Union avenue. A small squad of soldiers came in yesterday from Columbus, Ohio, and went through to Leavenworth. Paddy LYNCH was sent to the workhouse yesterday under executions mounting to $200 for vagrancy. William BELL, of Oak Grove, was committed to the county jail for thirty days yesterday for petit larceny. The assignee of the Missouri Valley bank brought five suits on notes against different parties in the Circuit court yesterday. The flour elevator at the State Line elevator gave way yesterday evening with a crash on Washington SMITH, and injured him quite severely. Ed. LOGAN and John ROSE charged with assaulting one H. D. BEEBEE in the Fort Scott yards, were discharged in Justice BACON's court yesterday. C. N. STUNCK was arrested yesterday by Captain J. JUNKIN, of the West Kansas police force, for stealing coal from the Missouri Pacific road, and fined $5 and costs by Judge BACON. The delegates from all the different wards appointed at the primaries last night are requested to meet the delegation from the Second ward at Turner hall to-day, at 10 o'clock for consultation. Mrs. CARNEY, who was robbed at the Union depot Monday night, was furnished with a pass yesterday by D. E. CORNELL, of the U. P. road, to Ellsworth, her destination, and went yesterday morning on her way rejoicing. Charles SLATHERLY and Alfred FORD, orange peddlers, were arrested yesterday by Officer BELL for obstructing Main street with their wagons. The ordinance allows them to stand in one place so many minutes, when they must "move on." The suit of Willie LACHENE by next friend vs. Geo. W. FITZPATRICK for $5,000. was filed in the circuit clerk's office yesterday. Willie LACHENE is the boy on whom a chimney fell in West Kansas about one week ago. The accident was chronicled in "The Times." Mr. FITZPATRICK owns the house. Quite a serious accident happened to a little girl named Sarah CLEMMING yesterday on Union avenue, who, with some older children, was searching for pieces of iron among the bricks, etc., of the late fire and while under the wall, some bricks suddenly fell from their place, and striking her on the arm, fractured it. Mr. T. C. BULLENE went to Chicago last night. Mr. George H. WHEELOCK left last night for Cleveland and Boston, and will be absent about two weeks. Mrs. Wm. BRAMHALL and family are stopping at the Coate's house, and are to make this city their future home. Leo CARMAN, railroad editor of the "Chicago Times," paid his respects to its namesake and Western prototype, "The Kansas City Times," yesterday. A large lot of canned goods is now offered for sale at the corner of Third and Delaware streets, in lots to suit purchasers. These goods were saved from the late fire, uninjured except in appearance; they consist in part of tomatoes, corn, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, grapes, cherries, strawberries, etc., principally California fruits; also, baked beans and cove oysters. Parties wishing to lay in a supply of choice goods at "starvation prices" should call at once, as they will be sold without delay. C. OGLEBAY & Sons. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================
