Red Anthony - James and John, huh? Wonder how I missed those two? The message you saw was probably from me. I had a great uncle CC White who rode with the James gang. I think his father was Nazareth. He had a sister by the name of Rilla Dudley? Ginn. They were Cherokee and so the girls had a different last name from the boys. Do you know anything more about James and John? Wonder if the three were related? I don't know about your two brothers - but CC White is definately mine. Thanks! I must have missed this in a history book someplace!
