JAMES Family Genealogy

ISSN 2639-3840

This JAMES website is about the JAMES family that descends from John JAMES (1688-1725) who married Justina THURSTON/THRUSTON (1691-1750). 

Please see my NOTICE below about copying from this website. 

My earliest known JAMES ancestor is John James. In 1712 John James was 24 years old. He was born in Bristol, Somerset County, England. He met a 19 year old woman, Justina Thurston, and they were married. Almost immediately after their marriage, John and his bride made plans to move to the Colonies in the New World. The young couple were sailing directly to a township, then known as “Martin’s Hundred,” (now known as Carter’s Grove) in the Colony of Virginia, near Jamestown. Justina was coming to claim her inheritance, a home that had been established by her parents, in the late 1600s. The property was comfortably situated along the James River and was known as the “Loveing Estate.”  Justina’s estate in Martin’s Hundred, which is located on the James River, the site where our American history begins. The story of how they came to acquire this land is interesting. See below.

The site is on the James River near Williamsburg. An English settlement called Martin’s Hundred had been established here in 1618. During the 1970’s an archeological investigation began which extensively researched this early settlement and, subsequently, clarified much of the settlement’s history. About 1623 the occupants of Martin’s Hundred suffered a massacre. Those surviving appear to have vanished.

Martin’s Hundred was found by accident in the early 1970s, by archaeologists searching around Carter’s Grove, a stately 18th-century plantation eight miles east of Williamsburg, for evidence of its early outbuildings. What they instead found were traces of an early 17th-century town and fort and domestic and military artifacts — a fragment of a Dutch delft tile, table knives encrusted in silver, a gilded spur, body armor, sword guards, two iron helmets, ceramics from Italy, Portugal, Germany. They also found bodies — some hastily buried.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation decided, in 1985, to tell the story of these events and how the archaeologists were able to discover it. The challenge was to design a building that would leave the area undisturbed yet be able to comfortably accommodate visitors and present the site in an interesting manner. The small museum was placed underground, at the crest of a hill overlooking the archeological site. The visitor enters the building from the side of the hill, away from the site, and emerges from the museum facing the site and the James River beyond.

I have transcribed that article below. I have inserted my comments as clarification in [ ] below. 

Transcribed it reads: 1774, with Col. Richard Taliaferro, Capt. John Lightfoot and others. Capt. Christopher [JAMES], eldest brother of Maj. Thruston James, married Lucy Thompson; their homestead, “Armfield,” in Martin’s Hundred. He died 1779, leaving nine children: Foster, married Miss Clough; John, married first Miss [Elizabeth Frances] Morris, secondly, Miss Mosely [Mosby*]; Thruston, married Sallie Pendleton; George, never married; Edward (twin brother [of George]), married Susanna Shcppard [Sheppard]; Elizabeth, married John Thompson of Rose Hill; Mary, married James Pendleton; Lucy, married Nathaniel Thompson; Francis married Miss Chiles.

*The surname of Mosby has been spelled Mosely in several colonial records.

Edward Thruston and Ann Loving from Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography

Justina’s great grandmother, Elizabeth (Beverly) Kingston, had sailed to Martin’s Hundred on the James River from England in 1618 along with two hundred and twenty settlers to populate the settlement that would include a fort and the fledgling Wolstenholme Towne, which was part of Martin’s Hundred.

The Mayflower would not sail to America for two more years. Jamestown had been established eleven years earlier. And three years after my ancestors arrived in America, in 1622, the settlement was ravaged by an Indian massacre. The Indians, who had until then maintained cordial relations with the encroaching English, staged a surprise attack on the James River settlements and massacred nearly 350 people. Elizabeth and her first husband, Thomas Kingston, survived.

1622 Massacre

According to the 1995 book Martin’s Hundred by Ivor Noel Hume, ” the story of the archaeological breakthrough at Martin’s Hundred is a marvelous account of sleuthing, suspense, and feats of deduction.”

Ivor Noel Hume was a Williamsburg archaeologist and his team pieced together the cultural and social fabric of the settlement from the shards of pottery, hardware, and other fragile artifacts painstakingly unearthed with trowel and brush. From the graves, a story emerges of disease and violence, eloquent testimony to the desperate, tragic lives of these early arrivals in the New World – a skull split by a heavy blow and showing signs of scalping; skeletons without coffins (four in a grave), and evidence of epidemic.” According to Washington Post Book World “The story of his archaeological dig is one of the most significant in American Historical archaeology.”

After the massacre, Thomas Kingston served as Burgess for Martin’s Hundred Parish in 1629. After he died in 1636, Elizabeth married Thomas Loving (Loveing), who was also a landowner in Martin’s Hundred, owning at least 2,700 acres.

Elizabeth and Thomas Loving, my 10th great grandparents, had a daughter named Anne, who married Edward Thruston on October 28, 1666 in Martin’s Hundred. Edward is quoted as saying: “But the celebration of our Wedding was at Chepoakes in the same country Virginia by Mr. Murry, Minister.” Anne and Edward had a son they named John Thruston, who was born in Martin’s Hundred on December 2, 1668. It would seem that Edward and Anne traveled to England shortly after John’s birth, because Edward died in England in 1670. Anne died there also.

Edward and Anne’s son John Thruston (shown as Thruston and Thurston in various records) and his wife Elizabeth Cary Thruston married in England on September 23, 1690. They had a daughter named Justina Thurston, who was born in England on Aug. 26, 1691. She married John James, who was also born in England, in 1688. As stated earlier, John and Justina married before 1712 in England. John and Justina then sailed to Virginia in 1713. Christopher James was born to them in 1720, also in Martin’s Hundred. Christopher married Lucy Thompson in 1746. They then had John James in 1750. John James married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Frances Morris and they married in 1774. Elizabeth died at the birth of their first child or very soon after. The daughter was named Elizabeth Morris James.

John married his second wife, Lucy Mosby, in 1780 in Henrico County, Virginia (see marriage record below). John and Lucy left James City County, Virginia soon after their marriage, and had several different homes in Virginia.

John and Lucy had ten children. Their first child was a son, William, born in 1780 in Hanover County, VA (my 4th great grandfather.) Hanover County is about 70 miles NW of where John was born in James City County. Then, they moved another 80 miles west and were living in Buckingham County, Virginia in 1783. Their 3rd child, John James, Jr. was born there.

SEE MY COMMENTS BELOW IN THE OUTLINE DESCENDANT CHART ABOUT THE ERROR THAT IS ON MANY ANCESTRY.COM TREES THAT JOHN JAMES HAD A MIDDLE NAME OF EDMUND. THAT IS INCORRECT! 

John and Lucy evidently returned to Hanover County by 1786, when Foster was born. Mosby was also born in Hanover County, in 1787. As John and Lucy continued to travel west, their family continued to grow. In 1794 they had eight children and they had moved 110 miles SW to Campbell County, Virginia. A daughter, Susannah, was born here. The adventurous couple finally settled in an area we now call Ohio County, Kentucky in 1799, and only three years after it had become a state. No towns or settlements are shown on the “Kentucke” map of 1795, for none had yet been settled. The large area was known as Nelson County, Kentucky – Ohio and Butler Counties did not yet exist. Their 10th and last child, Mariah James, was born in 1802. John was then 49 years old. (It is possible that the boundary lines of the counties mentioned changed, as there were many boundary line changes. See http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~george/countyformations/virginiaformationmaps.html

John James was in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1796 to assist his daughter in some transactions. In October 1799 he purchased 150 acres on Green River for 45 pounds. He purchased 117 acres on Pigeon Roost of Muddy Creek in Ohio County, Kentucky on Sept. 12, 1809 for $200. As of October 1, 1819 the 150 acres was deeded to Lucy (Mosby) James and her sister, Susanna Mosby for their lives, then to revert to heirs of John James. That deed was signed by the 10 children, except that husbands of the married daughters signed for them. 

I can find no proof that Edmund James was married to Lucy Mosby, despite this family story above. Lucy was 18 when she married John James, so it would seem unlikely that she was married to Edmund before she married John. Edmund was 13 years younger than John and he married Susannah Sheppard in 1763, so if he had married Lucy first, he would have been less than 17 years old. Not impossible, but unlikely.

John and Lucy (my fifth great grandparents) were “pioneers” in the purest sense of the word. John could easily have been acquainted with Daniel Boone; they lived in the same general area, and at the same time. There was only 16 years difference in their ages. John James lived in Kentucky for 20 years. He died in 1819. His grave marker can be found in the cemetery at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, Beaver Dam Kentucky, photo below. It reads:

JOHN JAMES

DEC. Sept. 26th 1819

Aged 69 years

“Long affliction have I born

Physicians were in vain

But Christ was pleased

To call me home

And rid me of my pain.”

My interest in my JAMES ancestors started when I first contacted a cousin of my grandmothers — Glenn Warren. He and his wife had been family family researchers for many years. Through JAMES family contacts that he provided, I received a hand-written “tree” that showed how the James family was related to the outlaw Jesse James and how we share an ancestor — Dr. John Woodson. That chart was drawn (or distributed by) Jesse Sibert James, who was the father of Thurston James, both now deceased. There is also an “upside down” family tree — a drawn outline of a tree with the earliest known ancestors of this family listed down to John James & wife Lucy Mosby (my 5th great grandparents) and lists some of their children and grandchildren.

I have blurred out the parts of the tree on the top two pages above that has now been proven to be incorrect because people were saving the page from this website and including it on Ancestry.com and using the information to populate their own tree incorrectly. 

Jesse states on the pages that the authenticated material used to put together this “upside down” family tree, was obtained through the research efforts of two of our relatives, namely his son Dwayne James, and a distant cousin Dorothy James Turner. I have acquired a lot of documents and records on this JAMES family over the many years since I received those “charts.” Since no source documents were listed on the hand-drawn trees, I have documented the ancestors in my James line by doing research in Virginia, Kentucky, and Washington, D.C. 

I contacted the National Society of the Claiborne Family Descendants and they have confirmed that Thomas Claiborne and Sarah Fenn did NOT have a daughter named Rebecca, and so that means that the “royal” lineage shown on the “tree” is incorrect. I have been unable to yet discover who the parents of Rebecca Claiborne are, or if for sure John Thompson did indeed marry a woman name Rebecca Claiborne. 

NOTE: This James family is NOT related to the infamous Jesse & Frank James through the JAMES line. We are related to the outlaw Jesse James through the WOODSON FAMILY. The middle name of Jesse James was WOODSON. John Woodson, surgeon to the Jamestown Company, was Jesse’s 6th great grandfather. John Woodson is my 10th great grandfather. So Jesse is my 6th cousin, 4 times removed. Here is a good WOODSON website by a descendant that does a great job of giving the history of Jamestown… http://rootsandall.blogspot.com/2014/07/ancestor-spotlight-dr-john-woodson.html

Some information on this webpage was provided by Thurston James and also came from the research of other family researchers and gathered in a very comprehensive James Family Tree which was compiled by Mike Nelson.

It’s important to know that there were several JAMES family members who married cousins. Estil Perkins James married Lucy Ellen James, both descendants of William “Billy” Samuel James so they were 2nd cousins.  And Estil’s grandparents were 1st cousins, both share grandparents — John James and Lucy Mosby. 

Several Ancestry.com trees state that John James served in the Revolutionary War. I found two men with the name of John James who served. One of them is listed as having served in the Continental Troops in Virginia; however, that John James died in Pulaski County, Kentucky in 1833, so he could NOT be “our” John James who married Lucy Mosby because he died in 1819 in Ohio County, Kentucky. 

The other John James served in Kentucky in 1793 in Hall’s Regiment, Cavalry, Volunteers in Kentucky. However, our John James had 10 children by that year and he still lived in Virginia, so it is unlikely that he served in the Revolutionary War in Kentucky.

I list below some of the descendants of John and Justina James. I only show eight generations to protect the privacy of living persons. So far, no family researcher has found documented proof that Christopher is the son of John and Justina Thurston. It seems that those records were destroyed in Richmond during the Civil War. Many cousins have shared their James ancestry with me and I am indebted to them.  I’ve included those names.

The above memorial marker is in the Warren’s Mill Cemetery in Butler County, Kentucky

There is an incorrect compiled genealogy in the book Selden and Kindred. 

John James did not have a middle initial of E. nor the middle name of Edmund. This error occurred in the book Selden and Kindred of Virginia, pg. 106 where the compiler mixes up two brothers: Edmund James and John James. Also, none of the nine siblings of John had middle names, so it’s unlikely that John would have had one. 

The book lists the following and my comments are in red

John and Justina (Thurston) James had among their issue:

  1. Major Thurston James (1715-1780), of New Kent Co., VA.
  2. Christopher James, died 1779. He married Lucy Thompson.

They removed from James City Co. to Hanover County where they lived and raised a large family from whom there are numerous descendants. Issue:

  1. Mary James, born 1747, married John Garland
  2. John James, born 1749 (John was born in 1750), disinherited, moved west. (This is “our” John — he married Lucy Mosby (his 2nd wife) and his first wife was Elizabeth Morris who died in childbirth.)
  3. Foster James, born 1752, married Rebecca Clough
  4. Elizabeth James, born 1754, married John Pendleton
  5. Lucy James, born 1757, married Nathaniel Thompson 
  6. Thurston James, born 1759
  7. Edmund James married first Susannah Sheppard; second Lucy Mosby (This is incorrect. Edmund only married once — to Susannah Sheppard on 20 Dec. 1788. Susannah was his only wife. Lucy Mosby ONLY married John James and he was her only husband – see child #2 above.)
  8. George, twin of Edmund. They were born Jan. 15, 1763. 
  9. Frances James, born July 9, 1766; married Mr. Child. 

THE ERROR THAT JOHN JAMES HAD THE MIDDLE NAME OF EDMUND HAS BEEN COPIED MANY TIMES INTO TREE ON ANCESTRY.COM.

  • Karen

    Elaine,

    Thank you for posting the James lineage. Have you come across any documentation that Christopher James (1720-1779) or John James (1750-1819) served in the Revolutionary War?

    Thanks

  • Hi Karen,

    Little is known about these James men because so many records were burned either during the Rev. War, mostly during the Civil War, or from courthouses that burned. James City County is considered a “burned” county.

    In my research I have never seen any evidence or proof of any military service for John or Christopher.

    Christopher was born in 1720 and died in 1779. Very little is known about him. Courthouse records of the period that might have provided clues to his life and precise lineage were destroyed during the Civil War, when Richmond was burned. Christopher married Lucy Thompson. Since he would have been age 55 at the start of the Rev. War, I doubt he was in the war. However, I did see a website some years ago that suggested that he was in the war as a Major. I’m sorry to say that website is now defunct and I did not copy the content of that website.

    John James was born in 1750, the son of Lucy Thompson and Christopher James, and it says he was named after his grandfather, John James, who immigrated from England to the new world in 1713.

    If you have any evidence of their service, I would love to know of it.

    Thanks for contacting me.

  • David James

    Question. This is a longshot. My James family originated from Buckingham County VA. Question…. Is there anyone in your tree from this area?

  • Hi David,
    Family Tree Maker program 2011 has a great feature where you can search by PLACES so I did a search. And yes, my ancestor John James and his wife Lucy Mosby did live in Buckingham County, VA for a short time betweem 1783-1786. They had their 3rd child John Jr. while living there. You can read more about the John James that lived in Buckingham on my website at https://www.theheritagelady.com/james-family-genealogy/
    Is there any more information I can give you on this James family?
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Hi Karen,
    The website is my own personal website and the James family listed are my ancestors.

    That’s great that you’ve tracked your family back to our shared ancestors John and Justina James. I only have one son for Samuel Mosby James and his wife Patsy Rogers, and that is Thurston James. I’m glad to hear there was another son that I’m finding out about. So yes, I’d like to have as much information as you are willing to share about your James family. I will never put any info on the web about living persons.

    My line of descent from John James is below my signature.

  • Karen

    Elaine,

    Do you have documentation of death dates or headstone pictures for Samuel James (8 Apr 1790-16 Dec 1862) and his wife Sarah Sallie Mae Borah James (28 Sep 1796) buried Green River Cemetery, Ohio Cnty, KY? I have a copy of Samuel’s will but nothing for Sarah. I’ve put a memorial to them on Find A Grave but no one has picked up to take headstone photos.

    Thanks!

    Karen

  • Hi Karen,

    I took some photos at the Green River Cemetery, but not many. I took more at Warren’s Mill Cemetery. There is an “old” section and a new section at Green River. I took photos in the old section, since most of my ancestors that lived there were there long ago. I have a photo of a tombstone for Sallie James. It is attached to this email. I’m not sure if it’s your Sallie or not. I took notes to write down dates and names in case the photos didn’t come out well, but can’t seem to find them right now. However, this stone is badly worn. Some of the older stones in that cemetery are in bad shape — broken and lying on the ground. I don’t have one for Samuel’s tombstone.

    Have you contacted the church office to see if the cemetery has been recorded?

    You can also try calling the Ohio County Genelogical Society P.O. Box 293 Hartford, KY 42347, Ruth Goodman 270-256-0267. They also sell some funeral home record books. I doubt that there would be any funeral home records going back as far as your Samuel James though.

    Most of the info for names and dates on my JAMES website came from my cousin Glendon Warren. He lived in Ohio County, KY but died last year. He researched the Warren and James and related families for many years. I’m sure he had collected all the documents on your Samuel James. I have copies of his book but don’t have documents myself. I don’t know what happened to his documentation when he died. I do know another cousin that went to the area and took photos of every grave and got a lot of Glen’s documents. I will contact her and ask about your Samuel.

    How are you related to Samuel? He was a brother of my ancestor William Samuel James.

    I would like to have a copy of Samuel’s will if you would like to share it. You could send via email attachment.

    They may not have had death certificates back as far as 1862, but not sure.

    Statewide vital records registration was first enacted in 1852 for the state of Kentucky. Compliance was minimal and the legislation was only in place for ten years. Sporadic maintenance was also performed between 1872-1910. Mandatory registration was again enacted as of January 1, 1911 for births and deaths. Marriage records have been kept on a county basis since the formation of each county, with some pre-dating official formation. State registration was required beginning in 1958. An every name index to births and deaths after 1911 exists at the Office of Vital Statistics.

    For birth and death records prior to 1911, write:

    Public Records Division
    Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives
    300 Coffee Tree Road
    P.O. Box 537
    Frankfort, KY 40602-0537

    To verify current fees, the telephone number is (502) 564-4212.

    There is another cousin that stayed at Glen’s house for a couple weeks several years ago and took photos of a lot of the tombstones for related families. I will contact her and ask if she has anything on Samuel Mosby James.

  • Marina James

    Hi There Could you please tell me and details on who Sandford Craig James father or line was?

    Thanks
    Marina

  • Marina,

    I would need MUCH more information for me to give you details. When and where was Sandford James born? Do you know his wife’s name? If you don’t know his wife’s name, brothers and sisters names would help.

    Thanks,

  • Freya Koger

    Hi Elaine,

    Thank you for this ..it’s wonderful. I’m still trying to figure it all out. I have both the James and Warren Histories. I’m not sure how we’re related but I know that my great great (?) grandparents are William Warren and Yettie Goodall.

    My grandmother is Ollie Dee Warren.

    Freya

  • Hi Freya,

    I am glad to hear from you! It’s always good to hear from a newfound cousin.

    If Ollie Dee Warren is your grandmother then William Volney Warren and his wife Yettie Goodall are your great grandparents, because they are the parents of Ollie. Ollie is one of 15 children! So you and I are 4th cousins.

    William Volney’s grandparents Arthur Warren and wife Martha “Patsy” Arbuckle are my 3rd great grandparents.

    What are your parent’s names? I would like to add their names to my family tree. You may email me in private at [email protected].

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Lorin Manderly

    Hi there. I’m trying to follow a new found Great Great Grandparent connection and am having trouble. I did follow a lead to you but am not sure that this is the same relative. I’m hoping you have any information that can either confirm or deny our connection. It’s regarding this person:

    Sarah Ann “Sally” James b: 1825 in Butler County, Kentucky d: Aft. 1880

    My Great Grandfather is John Randolph Davis, Sr., who I never knew, as he didn’t marry my Great Grandmother Esther Laverne Bartmess (with whom he had a daughter – Eros Lucile Davis, my Grandmother). My cousins and I have various letters and such and have found references to John Sr.’s parents as being Yanni Davis and Salley Kingston James.

    As I’ve said, I cannot find any info on these two and was wondering if its the same Salley that you have listed above and if so, what other info you have on her.
    Thank you so much!

    Lorin

  • Hi Lorin,

    Sarah Ann “Sally” James is my 3rd great grandmother. She was married to Alexander Hobdy on 27 June 1843 in Butler Co., Kentucky. I have a copy of their marriage bond that I got in Butler County in 2006. I do not recognize the other James you have listed — Salley Kingston James. How is she related to Sarah? You can email me directly at [email protected] if you’d like more info. I have a LOT of info on both the James and Hobdy families.

    Regards,

  • Barry James

    I have been trying to connect my James clan to that of the infamous James’ of Missouri (jesse and family). Although I’ve come within 20 miles of separation on a map from Stafford, Va. to Dorchester County, Maryland, I’ve yet to connect the actual link.
    In short, after reading your information I do see that you are related to that branch of the James Family. I’ve plotted it out so if you’d care to see it, simply drop me a note.
    NIce work.
    Barry James

  • Hi Barry,

    I would like to see what you have created. You may email me direct at [email protected]

    I have an old family tree that was hand drawn that shows my JAMES family and how they connect to the outlaw Jesse James. Jesse is my 6th cousin, 4xremoved. I will send you the tree via email.

  • juliee

    Hi,
    my entire life I was told that Jesse and Frank James were my “great great grandmother’s cousin”, and I have a ggg named james, Catherine Mary “Kitty” Ann James (1816-1895), married Jeremiah Crabb and son was Jeremiah Sutton Crabb.
    You also have a Mary “Kitty” James, different dates.
    Have you run across this before and found for certain that they are different people? Thanks for any insight. I am trying to 1. confirm parents of my “Kitty”, and verify my family’s story of relation to Jesse James.

    Regards,
    Juliee

  • Hi Juliee,
    No, your Catherine “Kitty” James is not the same as the one I have in my file. I think it’s just a coincidence that they have the same nickname. Below is the outline descendant chart for my Kitty. down from John James.

It says she was born in Kentucky on 1 Oct 1816 and died in Corsicana, Navarro Co., Texas on 29 July 1895. She married Jeremiah Crabb (1813-1870) and they also have photos of Kitty & Jeremiah’s tombstones.
    Unfortunately, it does not list the parents for Kitty. Do you have any idea the names of her parents?

  • I have an unusual request. I am new to geneaology and after a few hours of research my head is swimming — and I can’t find what I am looking for.

    Further, I’m afraid I have only sketchy information but that’s all I was able to get.

    I recently bought a mantle clock reputed to have been in the home of Jesse James. Of course, the seller, a James, said there is no way to prove this unless one happened upon an old photo taken of some family member standing in front of the clock. The best I can do — which is ok by me — is put the clock and the people together around the same time and make it PROBABLE the clock was either Jesse’s or a cousin or family member as many lived in the same area. One could then say Jesse James actually looked at this same clock I now have (or wound it, etc.)

    I got the clock from a Mr.Bertrand James Clifford. Mr. Clifford, aged 75, got it from his mother Addie Pauline James a supposed 2nd cousin to Jesse. She got it from HER mom whose name I don’t know but she was a James.

    Addie was born in 1903 and married Mr. Clifford in Sikeston, MO, Feb. 18, 1929.

    I am guessing her mother was born around 1877 – 1880.

    Supposedly, grandma got the clock from the Jesse James home and eventually gave it to her daughter, Addie.

    Mr. Clifford, Addie’s son who sold me the clock also has a letter sent to his mother from Frank James. The clock is not mentioned — just a chit-chat letter which Clifford has misplaced — it’s folded in one of his books.

    My reasoning is this: The clock, grandma and Jesse are all in the same time period. Thus, it is possible grandma did acquire the clock — it may not have belonged to Jesse, it may have been hers, but it seems evident following the time line AND the fact Frank knew his cousin well enough to write her — this also establishes there is a family connection between grandma and the James’.

    In short, is my reasoning credible? If it weren’t for the letter from Frank, one would indeed wonder if grandma even knew the James boys let alone be their cousin.

    The letter does not prove the clock belonged to Jesse but it does establish a family tie and makes the possibility the clock was a family (James) item probable.

    Btw, I could not find Addie in the lists of names I found — I know she is for real because I have a copy of her marriage certificate. Mr. Clifford also threw out a few more names tho he was unsure of their connection Cooper, Kaiser, Ludrick Churchill James. Clifford told me his mom often referred to the clock as the LUD clock referring to Ludrick so somewhere Lud had something to do with the clock.

    Any suggestions or comments you have are welcome — I may never learn anything more than the clock belonged to a cousin of Jesse James — but even that’s kind of cool.

    Btw — where do you teach genealogy?

  • Darlene Lyle

    Hello. I am doing research for my husband’s side of the family. He was told by his father that they are related to Jesse james. I have a Henry James no dates that Married Eliza (Elizabeth) Cole. They had a son William Bayliss James. Unfortunately Eliza or elizabeth died after giving birth to William. She died in Missouri. in about 1869. William was raised by his grandparents William K Cole and his wife Sarah Leah Richards Cole. Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • Elaine Powell

    Hi Darlene,
    I’m sorry. I do not have anyone in my family file with the names you mention. That does not mean they are not connected to my James family. I have a number of men named Henry James, but I do not have spouses for them. If you have any more info or dates, I can still attempt to find a link. Do you have any siblings’ names for those family members?

    Robert,
    You certainly have an interesting story. I do not have any of the James people you mention in my family file. I also checked Eric James website at http://www.ericjames.org/html/names69.htm#JAMES* and I cannot find an Addie James in his database either. I suggest you send your story to Eric James at . He might be able to help or at least be willing to put your story on his James family website.

  • Hello Elaine,

    Back in 2000 I was working in the Construction field in Southwest Colorado. We had an old guy that was working with us at the time and he claimed to be a great grandson of Jesse James. I believe, if memory serves, his name was Ted. One of the guys in our crew said he thought his name was Jack. During the time we worked with him he said he lived in Arboles, Colorado. Were there any great grandkids that lived in the area? This man was probably in his mid to late 60’s back then. I have not seen any Ted’s or Theodore’s in any of the information I have come across. I have seen a few “Jack’s” but nothing that could correlate his age with the ancestry. If you have any information that might be helpful, I would truly appreciate it.

  • Barbara J Rasmussen (Murphy)

    I am inquiring if the name William “Bud” Chaney has ever come up in your research on the James family? He would be my Great Great Grand Father and we have always been told that he was a cousin to Jesse James. I have also been told that perhaps he used an alias. Also another name of Jim Melton. Our family is from NC, MS and AL. I have been told that perhaps they were in the 2nd James Gang? Any info that you can shed on this would be wonderful. Thank you so much for your time and help.

  • Elaine Powell

    Barbara,
    I’m sorry, I do not have a William “Bud” Chaney nor a Jim Melton in my family file. My James family were first in Virginia, then Kentucky. Jesse James the outlaw was from Missouri and his father was born in Kentucky. Sorry I can’t be of more help. If you can search ancestry.com for your family and provide more info, that would help.

  • LAVON SMITH

    HI
    MY great Grandfather is Lewis H JAMES 1887 married to della von dora brown the lived in cullman alabama i was told he was a desendent of jesse james do you have any infomation on him,someone doing a book on the jesse james family intervewied my greant uncel cecil james and i cant find info on the book they lived in cullman ala,

  • Elaine Powell

    Lavon,
    I would need more info. I do not have any of those names in my family file. Is 1887 the year Lewis H. James was born or married? Was he born in Cullman, Alabama? Did he live there his whole life? Do you know what year he died? Is Della’s last name Brown or Von Brown?
    Is Cecil James the brother of Lewis H. James? There have been several books written on Jesse James. Do you know what year was he interviewed? That might help narrow down which book it was.

  • William K, Carter

    My Grandmother Goldie Mae Beach, Has always told the family, her Grandmothers name was Senora Elizabeth James b. 1849 and married John Maxey. In addition a genealogist who I hired reported the same findings. I have not seen her name mentioned in any other published documents. Can you assist me in any way, one way or the other?? Thank you in advance.

    Bill,
    What other info do you want to find out? What published documents did you expect to find? I would need a lot more info in order to help you. I would need to know where she was born and when and where she died. Was JAMES her maiden name? What was her husband’s name and when and where was he born and died? I would also need to know the full names and dates and locations of your grandparents. I do not have those names in my database but I’ll see if I can help.

    2 Feb 1882 in Botetourt County, VA.

    Thanks so much,
    Barbara Garst Cosgrove

    Senora (Cenora) Elizabeth James, b. abt 1849 to Pleasant Foster James and Mary Louise Parker, in Russelville KY. d. 25 Mar. 1926 in Owensboro Ky. at the Philpot poor farm, as I have been told by family members and other researchers I have hired. However I have not been able to nail this down by any definitive means. The James family is a very interesting and well established family in America and England, that I would be proud to be part of, however, I do not feel, that with the limited hearsay and less than well documented proof I have been given, allows me that privilege. Is it possible that you can make that connection for me.

    Barbara,

    I have a John Thomas James, b. 1854 in my file. However, he ws married to Mary E. Robertson. I do not have the other James’ names in my file, so it must be a coincidence. Sorry.

    William,
    Sorry for the delay in responding. Cenora Elizabeth James is indeed a daughter of Pleasant Foster James and the long line of James family in America. She also descends from the distinquished Thruston & Mosty families of Virginia. Cenora’s James line is below.

    1 John James b: 1688 in Bristol, Somerset, England d: 1725 in Armsfield Plantation, James City, Virginia

    .. +Justina Thurston b: 26 Aug 1691 in Long Ashton, Summerset County, England m: Bef. 1712 in Bristol, Gloucester, England d: 1790 in Armsfield, James City, Hanover Co., VA

    2 Christopher James b: 1720 in Martin’s Hundred, James City Co., VA d: 1779 in Armsfield, James City, VA

    … +Lucy Thompson b: Abt. 1720 in Henrico Co., VA m: 1746 in Virginia d: 1767 in Armsfield, James City, VA

    3 John James b: 1750 in Armsfield Plantation, Hanover Co., Virginia d: 16 Sep 1819 in Beaver Dam, Ohio Co., Kentucky

    …. +Lucy Mosby b: 1762 in Henrico Co., Virginia m: 1780 in Henrico, Virginia d: 26 Sep 1819 in Beaver Dam, Ohio Co., Kentucky

    . 4 Mosby James b: 1784 in Henrico Co., Virginia d: 15 Nov 1855 in Ohio Co., KY

    ….. +Elizabeth “Betsey” Martha Rogers b: 1791 in Nelson Co., KY m: 08 Nov 1813 in Ohio Co., Kentucky

    .. 5 Pleasant Foster James b: Abt. 1828 in Ohio County, Kentucky

    …… +Mary Louise Parker b: in Tennessee m: 23 Dec 1847 in Butler Co., Ky d: Abt. 1865 in Butler County, Kentucky

    …. 6 Cenora Elizabeth James b: 1852 in Russellville, Kentucky d: 25 Mar 1926 in Owensboro, Davies Co., Ky

    There are many records that have various spellings for Cenora including Senora, Sanora, Elizabeth, and Sanra. Those misspellings might make it hard to find her in records.

    I have a lot of information on the ancestors of Cenora. If you’d like more information, let me know. I will eventually be putting info on the Mosby & Thruston families on my website.

    I am told by an Aunt who says she has documented our genealogy back to Henry the VIII including Frank and Jesse James. Something like their grandmother is my greatx3 Aunt. No James name. My grandmother Annie Lee Bledsoe Humphreys 11-10-02/4-13-89 married James Rogers Humphreys 3-10-03/5/6/70. Her parents L.Bertis Bledsoe 6-25-1879/6-25-55 Eva V Horne Bledsoe 1-17-1882/12-20-60. Family cemetery is New Salem Cumberland Presbyterian Church 6831 Salem Rd Arlington, Shelby County TN. I have come to a stand still. Is there a connection?

    Hi Elaine. There is the story in my family that Frank and Jesse James were cousins of my maternal great grandmother Elizabeth May James daughter of Pyrant Thompson James son of Catlett James. Have you ever come across these names in your research and is there any relation to Frank and Jesse James. Thanks, J.R.
