Edward is my great grandfather Solomon Phillip James brother. HIs sone Hud James is my grandfather and my father is Charles Phillip James. My great grandparents moved from Jasper County to Smith County Mississippi. There are several connectiosn with the Ainsworth. My great grandmother was a Blackwell and there is a connection their too.
