Fun midwestern fact: if you're a teacher along the Mississippi or Missouri or general Ozark area, ask the class if anyone has a family legend about being related to Jesse James and count how many hands go up. It's less of a thing now than it was when my parents were growing up, but it still happens and it's still hilarious. It just goes to show how many Jesse James imposters there were that SO many people's families claim ancestry.

Kaitlyn94Marie aside from the ick factor, one person marrying their cousin is not likely to have much difference in a standard gene pool. If we are talking about small towns where people intermarried for centuries or royal families that married cousins to each other regularly for generations, then you are going to eventually have some issues popping up (like a certain royal family and their inbred kids with hemophilia).

Certified Forensic Anthropologist, Diane France took molds of the skeletal remains There is a perfectly accurate positive casting of his whole (interred for 113 years) body out there (and some duplicate castings of some of the interesting bits and pieces) (all always respectfully handled, of course).

Grew up a town over from Kearney (correct spelling) MO. In the 1970s I saw his grave in the Mt. Olivet cemetery. He's since been moved from there to the old family farm between Kearney and Excelsior Springs, which is a museum again. As a member of the county historical society I found his brother Frank's will in an archive of old documents. Frank settled down and became somewhat of a gentleman farmer.

So my family is originally from Kearney and my grandpa is buried at Mt. Olivet...as are both sets of my great grandparents, aunts uncles, etc. Also my great grandparents would’ve been alive during this time and probably knew Jesse James or at least knew people who knew him but anyways, it’s not a big thing that his grave is in Kearney (at least among my friends and family). Idk if that’s because people genuinely don’t care or don’t believe it or what but I’ll definitely be asking my grandma some questions Edit: talked to my grandma. Her family was friends with Frank James and she has some stuff that belonged to his wife and many things that she received from the family, she donated back to the museum. And my great grandparents actually witnessed the body being moved from Olivet back to the farm sooo the Texas guy is definitely not Jesse James...sorry if some of you wanted to think that

I have heard of this burying of body parts thing. I knew someone who's great grandfather lost a leg at Gettysburg. He survived into the beginning of the 20th century, carrying that limb (which had been cured like a country ham and kept in a violin case.) It went with him everywhere. It was his belief that his body had to be buried whole in anticipation of the “The Second Coming” so that he might be able to walk into Glory on his own two legs.

His mother , family at the time and even the first brothers were never honest people. I am very dear childhood friends with 4 descendants of the james family who two of the four attended my church youth group, high school and I have photos of Chris and Holly attending my wedding where Holly was the maid of honor for her best friend Jennie who grown up in the same church and throughout school since they were 8 years old together. Chris looks identical to Jesse's and could of been twins if they lived in the same time frame. Rachel, Holly's daughter is a few months older than my son so they grown up together from birth. Both are 20 years old today. The great grandson of jesse John James is also a honorable man with strong family morals however as mentioned, the James family has not always been honest people. Jessie's mother sold river rocks she collected by the stream being her house selling them for 50 cents each after laying them on Jesse's grave acting like they had historical value all while the James and Ford families bought guns only to sell them as " the gun that killed Jesse James" and "the gun Jesse's James owned" only to find out none of the guns were ever proven with people buying them up to profit on. So yes, the James family as you mentioned back then basically looked Criminal and evil as they really were but on the same note, the James family of today are the most humble honorable people one could ever become friends with. The James brothers were also both being trained for the Confederate cause of the civil war since they were 8 and 9 years old with training from their mother with real guns however Jesse's brother was captured by union forces to take a oath to fight for the Union later on in life as well before they rejoined each other later.

Regarding the exhumation of Jesse James from the James Family Farm front yard: Zerelda had purchased a casket that was guaranteed to remain intact. Of course, when she was growing older and nearing death, she had the body moved to the cemetery in Kearney. As it was being dug up, the casket broke... pretty much in half, causing some spillage to become embedded more deeply in the dirt. When the farm became a state property, they excavated all around the yard, including finding bits of bone and such in the area of the grave. Reasoning that they had been there for quite a while and they might as well stay, the bits were reburied in a Tupperware container, keeping Mr. James "burp" fresh. Incidentally, Zerelda had an endless supply of rocks for the grave, since there is a creek just feet from the farmhouse from which she could get new rocks to put on the grave and sell. How do I know? I have worked at the James Family Farm for a bit. When this video popped up, I just had to watch it. I loved it, too! And now... you have more of the story. Cheers!

Grew up a few counties away so I winced but the quality of research I've seen leads me to think a software interpretation/"auto incorrect" is the cause.

True story. My family is from Stanly County NC. My great grandmother told me stories about Jesse when I was a little girl. When she was a little girl he came to recruit her grandfather into the gang. Years later there was a huge article in the local newspaper,. Did you know Jesse James came to Stanly County NC? Well I know it all my life. My granny died on my 11th birthday in 1954. I am now 78 and I remember those stories clearly. By the way, her grandfather's surname was Little. His photo is on a photo of the James Gang.

Love the video. I am a direct descendant of Jesse James. As a great-great grand-daughter, I was at the '95 exhumation in Kearney, Missouri. It was surreal, people were still advocating for succession from the union. My DNA was collected to help with the investigation. The inquest proved that the corpse in the grave was Jesse. All the men in the family have James as their first or middle name because the surname was not passed onto the four granddaughters of J.J. It is always a fine line, you want to be proud of your heritage, but your ancestors were not honorable or heroic. The family has tried to justify the actions of the James family by saying they were persecuted by the Northerners. But history does not support that view of the James' actions. The family tree has lawyers and teachers, which is what my brother and I ended up doing (I'm the teacher) and bank robbers. At least I didn't marry my first cousin who has the same name as my parent!

"you want to be proud of your heritage, but your ancestors were not honorable or heroic" I felt that because learning about my ancestry, I have Spanish Conquerors in my lineage, who can be classified as psychos and genocides (one of them loved to kill people), on the other hand I have an analphabet seamstress single mother as a great great grandmother and a former Chinese slave (grandfather of my great grandmother) who escaped from Perú to live in Chile. And I felt prouder of the seamstress and the slave than I felt about the other ones.

My Grandmother in WV (deceased now) swore that Jesse James and some of his gang stayed holed up at her house. He built her a cabinet(pie safe) and signed and dated it. It was her prize possession. I don't know if there's any truth to the story or not. Rumor is one night they all went to bed and sometime during the night he and his gang hopped a freight train going north. She said they never saw or heard from them again. She said they gave her daddy a lot of money and they had to spend it slowly someone would question it.

Hope you see this: As someone who worked to restore the history of one small cemetery in Royal Oak, MI... just wanted to let you know I found a doctor who had buried his amputated leg in the cemetery. What drove me nuts was... you might have guessed... with all the resources I had at my fingertips, I was unable to find the owner of said leg after five years of searching! I asked my 89 year old aunt (she was a nurse) about such customs and she told me it was not unusual for people to hold funerals for body parts well into the 1950's or 1960's in some states. Now I live in a different state and am hoping to do the same type of work (sort of my jam) and see what else I can find as I try to restore history! YAY! XOXO

I'm not saying I will but you have no-idea who I am, and what I have already experienced. My family lived in the same village atleast since 1300's, and if you would have asked anyone about a severed limb, it would be pretty much guaranteed they'd know who it was and how it happened. When I was reading your comment it was the thought that came to mind. My grandma is around the same age your aunt is, she tells me stories like that. Because she knows the people these things happened to, and usually they have some sort of funny backstory. And since people didn't move that much these stories were told around the towns and villages and they made these people live on after they've passed. Don't project your own insecurities onto me.

@@miippi You are correct. Although, I didn't consider that a joke. My first thought was that you don't know me or my family and I, proudly, stick up for her. Other comments were made to seem like I was asking for some sort of gratitude here. It is pretty amazing what used to be the "norm" in burial, which is not today, such as a funeral for an amputated limb. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. I'm not insecure, just protective. I, actually, had the opportunity to look for the man attached to said limb, while I was doing research and restoration on this cemetery. Oddly, I never found out what happened to him. My aunt, however, has many tales of oddities and several that bring one to tears. Again, my apologies. Seems we could have traded stories/tales passed down. I hope you write down everything your elders have said. I believe it will make for a great book sometime soon. :)

I just got off the phone with my 92 year old grandmother and asked who is buried next to Jesse James. She already knew who it was. I had to drag that much info out of her, but she doesn’t know what happened to his arm. Mom is gonna ask her cousins back East if they know the story. Our family branch went to CA after the dust bowl, so we are out of the loop.

Yours is the first show that I've ever found that addressed this additional James grave site. Not only did you mention it, but you physically went there. I've known about this grave ever since I was younger than the current stone marker you claimed was placed in the 80s. My uncle Dub, who lived across the street took me there to see it, when I was perhaps 8 or 9 and the headstone had James on it. He told me then, that the headstone had been stolen several times already and once it was demanded to not bear James' name, but was later put back. All my kin are buried either in the Granbury or Fall Creek cemeteries. I hope you went to the town square while you were there. It's such a pristine county seat/court house surrounded by iconic 1910s America.

I have an ancestor that lost his arm to a farming accident. They buried his arm in a cemetery with the expectation that, when he died, his body would be buried where his arm was “laid to rest.” He ended up moving away from the area, so his body is in another cemetery. But as a child, when we visited cemeteries on Memorial Day weekend, we would get told the story of his arm, and place a flower on the spot it was buried.
