i too have a white in my family. his name was william c. white married to mary reeves and lived in alabama as far as we know. know his two boys were born in alabama. i am also interested to see if any of your books on the james gang encludes a names of boley or boleypaugh. my grandfather was henry b. boley and he use to tell about the james and daltons come by his place for food when they were on the run. he lived in red river co. texas at the time on the border of texas and oklahoma. some believe he rode with them but never found any proof. do have a pictures of him and my grandmother with the bass boys and two of the daltons so perhaps the stories are true. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Red Anthony" <redpata@hotmail.com> To: <WHITE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2000 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [WHITE] White Brothers, rode with Jessie James > Rilla: You were probably the one that contacted me before.
