Believe he was called Matt. James M. married Susan E. McMichaels 9 January 1857 in Anderson, Ky They had three children, Sarah, b. abt 1858, William P., b. abt. 1859, and Bessie M, b. 1877. There may also have been other children. Susan was the daughter of John McMichael, b. 1812 and Susan, b. 1815. James M. Book was my gr gr grandfather. He was a musician, and he and his brother, William performed on the showboats for a time. I am not sure how long. Family lore has it that he was also a gambler. He was probably both. I just can't find him after 1870. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.
