don't know alot about James Family but do know that Jesse's mother Zerilda was born near here and lived in a house now called the Offutt-Cole Tavern (used but preserved for history) at the crossroads of Frankfort Pike and Midway Road I believe his father was from Georgetown Ky and a preacher, he is the one who went to Ca in search of gold His stepfather may have been a doctor Kathy Hall Versailles,KY (Woodford County)
