There is a raging debate as to whether Jesse James is related to the family of John M James who married Clara Nalle. The grandfather of Jesse James was another John M. James (1775-1827). He was 25 years younger than John M. James (1751-1823).

In spite of the similarity of names plus the fact that both came from the same area of Virginia, knew many of the same people and migrated at about the same time to the same area of Kentucky, there is no proof that they were related.

This has caused a raging debate which you can read about at

A possibility is that the second John M. James was a bastard son. Another possibility is that they were both the same person, a man who has two sets of children, who did not know about or acknowledge each other.

The fact that Joseph Martin James, one of the sons of the elder John M. James, was a polygamist who had three wives and 19 children adds to this possibility.
