Well, I've just got to jump in on this even though I only have a rumor to repeat. I grew up in Nevada, MO in Vernon County about 40 miles north of Joplin and nine miles east of the Kansas state line. (My last name was White and my dad was from Wisconsin but I don't connect with any of the Whites under current discussion.) My dad once told me that there were Whites who rode with Jesse James (that was before I worked out our family history) and that the James brothers had owned a clothing store in Nevada at some time in their career. I sometimes wonder now if it was not perhaps one of their relatives but that is what I was told in the 1950's. Since we only moved there in 1954, someone must have told him about it. Nevada has an interesting local history museum called the Bushwhacker Museum. For anyone looking to locate possible James associates, it might not hurt to look in Vernon County, MO. Hope this is useful to someone. Nancy

Elnore: Thanks for the reply on the Oklahoma White family. Several of my kin did moved there, some were there probably around 1860-70. I know they were there while it was still Indian terrority. I have a picture of one that married a pretty Creek Indian. Some of the Alabama Whites were red-haired, guess that is where mine came from,,,most of the Anthonys were dark, showed their Indian blood. The James boys did get the list stirred up. Here's another oddity. One of my Cousins named two of their boys, Frank James White, b. 8-15-1921, and Jesse James White, b.5-20-1924. They were born in Lamar County, Alabama, but both lived in California later, and died there. I'm sure this was because of the James legend. One of the James Gang last robberies was in Alabama, that is where Frank was tried after Jesse was killed. Good luck in convicting an ex-rebel at that time in Alabama, especially when his lawyer was a General with the CSA.

They were Black and Indian and I am sure some of the family was white. There are some really good pictures of this family that I have seen and they are related quite a bit to other families here in north Texas. I am sure their name probably was of white origin but all of them that I have known are black or Indian or both. There is a new book that I have seen recently that talks about them , called "Black Indians' I regret I didn't write down the author. They are the family that started Boley Ok. I have heard of a few cowboys my father worked with with the surname of Boley they were black also. They rode rodeo circuit I believe too. This was in south central Texas. I have a lot of Cherokee in my family and noticed their papers in every place I was researching.

Thanks for the history lesson, Sue!! Interesting! One of my White's hid John Wesley Hardin when he was on the run...but that was in Pisgah Ridge in Navarro Co. Texas. Get's better and better, doesn't it? LOL I just can't imagine why none of those ancestors would have wanted us knowing about any of this!

actually they like to hang out north of Kentucky Town in Grayson and sometimes on the Choctaw Creek bottoms, (these are in Grayson county west of the Bonham Post office area) Same area that John Wesley Hardin was born in. Kentucky town was about between the Sherman/ Bonham area , I live there. The Boley's were Cherokee or Choctaw I can't remember which tribe ,and they were Freemen ,their papers are available in the NARA website. The founded a town in the Indian Territory. Many of their relatives are here in the area. so many historical things happened around here! Kentucky Town and Pilot Grove were major towns in Texas at the time. here before Bonham or Sherman . We had so many troubles after the war especially with local feuds and hangings. Quantrill camped just above KentuckyTown which is NE of where Tom Bean Texas is today about 3 miles. There was a church Camp ground where people camped for a month for revivals in spring and fall. It has perfect water, woods and is on high prairie. Also not too far from the freightlines which is where all the news of the area traveled from. Rumors got here first. Even back in the War between the states riders could get word about the yankee movements and quickly slip from place to place. The bad times after the war drew the whole place apart though and it was only safe at times. >From what I can tell Kentuckytown was mainly of pro Confederate, while Pilot Grove had both sides and had a feud called the Lee-Peacock feud tearing it apart.
