James City, Virginia (now Leon) was founded by Rev. Daniel James 1764-1845. Frank & Jesse James became future cousins of this ancestral James line which the brothers never knew. Descendants of Rev. James who left Virginia migrated into the Kentucky frontier to become tobacco & hemp planters, bankers, riders with John Hunt Morgan, captives of the Union, and blue grass blue blood. Others went further into Louisiana Territory to become charge d'affairs for Spain, Natchez slave traders, Mississippi & Nashville bankers, and bankrupts. Their stories ill be told in the forthcoming Volume III of the Jesse James Soul Liberty quintet.
