Liz, there is one little clue that William James may have been the father of Samuel James of Floyd County,Ky.and he may have came to Floyd Co. A Mary James is listed as head of household in the 1810 Floyd Co. tax list. How coincidental is this?? It is the only reference to William James that I have ever found there and may be Jesse and Frank's gggrandfather, William James. You may want to further research William P. Fleming.
This is from Charle C. Wells....Annals of Floyd Co. Ky.....Page 9
26, Sept. 1809
"....Bond for WILLIAM P. FLEMING and WILLIAM JAMES in the amount of $1000...."
Liz, this is when this information was recorded, so it may have taken place earlier. It was certainly recorded before any information was recorded for Samuel.
