Looking for anything on Potee' changed his name from Potee' to "Jim" Jones after he was finally caught, as the story goes with Jesse James. He escaped and changed his name. He supposely did some crimes before and robbed a bank and was in jail with Jesse. I'm assuming by that, they were robbing the bank together. It was kept all quite until he died. My thoughts were before 1937, because of a statement on a ss application of my fathers. My grandfather is James Albert Jones b.1872 m.Rena Lott 1895 Ms. She was b.1877Ms. She is also a mistery. I have not been able to find a family for her. The story of Potee' was told to me by my father and my grandma Rena.Any help on this, I have a photo of my father only. Potee' grandson. Also any of my fathers (Lloyd Frank Jones) kin reading this please contac me. "Kat" Jones

this is a james a. jones born about 1871 who is in the 1880 attala county,ms census with his parents andrew m. and anna james jones and im asuming the james is his mothers maiden name,the census says she was born in alabama and andrew in mississippi and in the 1920 census your james a. jones has his mothers birth state as alabama and his fathers as mississippi,its possible anna james jones could of been a cousin to jesse or a coincidence in last names.also in the 1900 carroll county,ms census i find james a. jones with the same couple a.w. jones (a.m.)and a.j. jones (anna james)
i think this is the same james as your james because your james a. and rena jones are in the 1920 carroll county,ms census.
