My ggg grandfather was Hezekiah Evans, who married Nancy Cole. Nancy's father was Jesse Cole, Sr. Jesse's father was Richard James Cole, Sr. Richard had a sister named Zerelda Cole, who married Robert Sallee James. They produced three children; Alexander Franklin "Frank", Jessie Woodson,and Susan Lavenia James. According to my FTM program, Jessie is my 1st cousin. 6 times removed. There iss a James family website to verify your connection to Jessie. The site is: www.ericjames.org

Hope this helps!
