Posted on: Douglas County, Mo Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Douglas/1484 Surname: James Ballard Freeman ------------------------- Thanks for all the information. I can make a correction on one. Jesse's daughter has always been referred to as Rebecca. She was also known as Mary Elizabeth (Betty) and Elizabeth. She married Gideon Hogue Pierce, son of Daniel Pierce and Mary Hogue. He was born in Wayne County, Tenn. Elizabeth was born in 1825. According to the information from the book "Peter Simmons descendants" Jesse Ballard James was previously married to Rebecca Gibson. According to marriage records, there was an error in the date they actually were married, either 4 May 1820 or 10 Jan 1821. Believed to be a mistake by the preacher. According to the 1850 Ozark County Census Jesse James was 47, born unknown, Rebecca James, b. Ky, William James 19 b. Ind. John James 15, b. Ark. Hiram L. T. James 6 b. Mo. Joseph T. H. James,23 b. Ind. In 1860 Ozark Co. Census Jessie B. James age 57 b. VA Elizabeth James 36 Ohio James James 3 Mo. Nancy J. James 1/12 Mo. Joseph Bricoe 60 Tenn. The book also includes Jesse Ballard James ancestors for a few generations. Wills, deeds etc. Your info on how Joseph was killed filled in how. My book just said he was killed by bushwackers. Also says Jesse Ballard James' daughter Nancy was arrested, any clue what for? Says Jesse B.& Elizabeth, Mina James, John Williams, John Blackburn and Thomas Wesbgano poster her bail. Elizabeth (Betty) was my gr gr grandmother. I have documents where she signed her name as Elizabeth. Thanks again, Susan

Jesse Ballard JAMES is believed to have received his middle name from his mother's family; and that he was the son of Joseph JAMES and Elizabeth BALLARD who were married on 13 December 1793 in Bedford County, VA. The BALLARD name appears as a middle name in his own family, as well as among names of other relatives. Following their marriage, Jesse and Rebecca (Gibson) JAMES owned land in Putnam, Carroll, and Greene Counties, IN, before moving to Ozark County, MO, in the early 1840's. Their children were all born in Indiana, except where noted: 1. Garrett JAMES, born circa 1822, died in California in a logging accident. 2. Rebecca JAMES, born circa 1824, married a PEARCE. 3. Lucinda JAMES, born circa 1826, married Ira BRISCOE about 1844 in Ozark County, MO. They lived in Douglas County, MO. They had the following known children: Joseph, Isaac, William Garrett, Elizabeth J., Thomas J., Jackson, John B., and Charity. 4. Joseph Thomas JAMES, born circa 1827, was killed in Kentucky during the Civil War (according to family lore). 5. Rachel Jane JAMES, born circa 1833, married William Jackson FREEMAN about 1848 in Ozark County, MO. They lived in Douglas County, MO. Their children were: Rebecca E., Rollins J., John W., Alsebeth "Alcie", Elizabeth, William J., Malisa J. "Lizzie", Drusilla, and a daughter, Feha. 6.

They had one daughter, Martha June JAMES, born 10 March 1860. Catherine (Driskell) JAMES m. (2)Hardin Malone MARCH on 12 March 1867 in Phelps County, MO. 7. Hiram Lewis JAMES, born 14 Feb 1844 in Ozark County, MO, was married on 11 September 1867 to Julia Ann FREEMAN. Hiram died on 1 Oct 1929 and he is buried at the Mt. Ararat Cemetery in Douglas County, MO. Their children were: John Monroe, Sarah Jane, Ida Mary Frances, Rebecca Elanare, Elsina Fay, Eva Elizabeth, Alice Almeda, and Jesse Clyde. Rebecca (Gibson) JAMES died sometime between 1851-1856. Jesse Ballard JAMES m. (2) Mrs. Elizabeth (Campbell) BENGE BRIDGES, the daughter of Robert CAMPBELL & Rachel MORRIS. Elizabeth was born 18 Sep 1821 in Ohio. Jesse and Elizabeth had two children: 8. James P. JAMES (b. 7 Apr 1857-d. circa 1863) 9. Nancy Ann JAMES (b. 21 Dec 1859 in West Plains, Howell County, MO) where Jesse Ballard JAMES owned one-half acre W 1/2 Lot 7, Block 3. In 1861 Nancy Ann JAMES married Jesse J. JAMES, son of William M. JAMES & Pheba Ann PERKINS. Nancy Ann died on 2 October 1946 in Kearney County, KS. Their children were Della, Homer, Maybelle, Thurlow, Roscoe, and Sulu Priscilla. Jesse Ballard JAMES build the first dam across Big North Fork on his land, (SW1/4, NE1/4, S15, T24, Rll), in Ozark County, MO, and had a grist mill. It was there that he was hanged by Confederate guerrillas, his only crime being that he was grinding corn for Union men and their families, ignoring the fact that he did the same for Confederate families. His widow rode her horse under his hanging body, cut the rope so he would fall onto the horse, and took him where he buried him in an unmarked grave. Two family traditions differ on the date, one being either February or March of 1861, and the second "sometime after Wilson Creek Battle," which was 10 August 1861. Hiram JAMES (Jesse's son)said that he enlisted after his father's death and after Wilson Creek Battle, so August or September of 1861 would seem likely. Hiram enlisted in the Union Army on 13 October 1861, with his brother, John Ballard JAMES, and their brother-in-law, John DRISKELL. Hiram served for a period of 6 months & 3 days as a Private in Company E, Phelps County, MO, Infantry. Hiram was wounded in the left thigh on 7 March 1862 in the Battle of Pea Ridge, AR. Hiram re-enlisted on 1 November 1863 as a Corporal in Company B, 16th MO Cavalry for a period of 1 year & 8 months, during which time he received an injury to his head and neck. John Ballard JAMES died on 15 Dec 1861 of measles at the camp hospital in Rolla, MO, two months after enlisting in the Union Army. Source: "A History of Ozark County 1841-1991," pg.300-301, submitted by Genelle (Feemster) STEVENS. There are also additional family articles in this book: 1. William M. & Phebea (Perkins) JAMES on pgs. 301-302; 2. George W. & Hattie M. (Sturman) JAMES on pg. 299; 3. Jesse B. & Elizabeth (Campbell) JAMES on pg. 299; and, 4. Francis "Frank" & Louisa (Snelson) JAMES on pg.297-298. Most of the above family articles I have previously posted on the Ozark County query page.
