Zerelda (Dalton)Cole / James / Samuels, is the mother of
Jesse James and Frank James, the famous Notorious Outlaws of the Wild West.
Zeralda's sisters are the parents of:: the Younger brothers,
the Ford Brothers, and the Dalton brothers, but I have yet to
know what their names are...do you????
Zerelda is a Dalton, but was raised by a stepdad, last name
Cole. And the Dalton families are from around Old Fort, North
Carolina, and at the time their ancestors lived there, the other
families / neighbors are Allen families, Souther families, Davis
families, and England families. These families intermarried.
There are many stories about the death of Jesse James, but
since 1975, there has been proof that he didn't die in 1882, in
Missouri. (That body was Charlie Bigelow).
Jesse lived in Kansas & raised 9 children there. Died 1935,
buried up there.
Chuck James is the great-grandson and Charles James is
a grandson of Jesse Woodson James.
Frank lived Fletcher, Okla. Tell me more?

I am a descendant of the Kansas Jameses (?), and have been told that we are related to Jesse and Frank James. I am not sure of the connection yet, but, will research more in the future.

Well, according to historians, the Daltons met their end at Coffeeville, Kansas. You have done a good job; I didn't know any of that.
As far as I know, I am not related to any of them, but who knows?

'I'm not interested in who my grandfather was, I'd be more interested in what my grandson will be.'
That sounds more like the REAL American spirit than all this ridiculous pride of family.
