BIOGRAPHY: [Broderbund WFT Vol. 15, Ed. 1, Tree #1589]
After Robert and Mary married they moved to Kentucky and settled near Adairville, Logan County. They bought a 275-acre farm and this is where Jesse was born as well as Susan. Robert graduated from Georgetown College in Kentucky in June 1843 and received a Master of Arts Degree in 1847. He was an ordained Baptist minister in 1839. Two years before he graduated, he met and married Zerelda Cole, who was a student in a Catholic convent in Lexington, Kentucky. Robert worked his farm during the week with seven faithful Negro servants and served God on Sunday as a preacher, but was never paid for preaching. Two of the churches he founded are still inexistence today. They are the Providence Baptist Church in Clay Co. and the Pisgah Baptist Church near Excelsior Springs, Mo. Robert was also one of the founders of the William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. His wife, Zerelda, told she saw her husband baptize as many as 65 people on one occasion. Jesse was baptized near the same place years later after returning from the Civil War. It was said by Zerelda, that had not Robert gone to the gold fields of California in 1850 to preach to the miners for a year that Frank and Jesse would not have had their violent history. Jesse pleaded with his father not to go. It took four months to get there and just three weeks later Robert died.

45. | Jesse Woodson James (13.Robert3, 5.John2, 1.Mary1) was born on 5 Sep 1847 in Kearney, Clay County, MO; died on 3 Apr 1882 in St Joseph, Buchanan County, MO; was buried on 29 Jun 1902 in Mt Olivet Cemetery, Kearney, Clay County, MO. Notes:
BIOGRAPHY: [Broderbund WFT Vol. 15, Ed. 1, Tree #1589]
Jesse was murdered by Robert Ford in St. Joseph, Mo. He was buried 29 June 1902 in Mt. Olivet Cem., Kearney, Clay, Mo. after he was moved from St. Joseph, with his wife. The pallbearers for Jesse were men who served with Jesse under Quantrill. Jesse was anxious to surrender and serve time and get out to be with his family but that didn't work. Jesse Jr. looked through the files in Kansas City and found a lot of crimes were charged up to the account of his hunted and outlawed father. One week would be a bold robbery in MO , saying it was the James Gang. Then the next week there would be a robbery in Texas, again the James Gang. Jesse Jr. said to have committed one-fourth of these crimes, his father would have to have been equipped with some means of extra-terrestrial transportation for him to rob a bank in West Virginia on Monday night and hold up a train in Texas three nights later. The very day Jesse was killed there was a bank robbery in Texas that the newspapers attributed to Jesse James Gang.

Jesse James was killed from ambush by Bob Ford. These famous outlaws Frank and Jesse Woodson James roamed and robbed far and wide and their gang had many things attributed to them not done by them. Jesse's middle name is given from a relationship to the Woodson family a branch of my family Anna Arzella Woodson my great grandmother who married Andrew Johnson, their son John my grandmother and dad's mother's family who lived in Rockcastle County, KY where Frank and members rode through there and would hide out reportedly after some of their raids into West Virginia, etc. A would-be hero deputy of Rockcastle County, KY heard they might be coming that way and lay an ambush for Frank and cohorts and one of the gang was wounded but the rest escaped. Another Woodson relative and her niece visited me in 1994 from Independence, MO and told me her grandmother as a small girl as Frank James had stopped over at the Woodson home where they had been fed and kept hidden had bent over off of his horse and given her grandmother a gold coin which she had treasured into her old age. To date I've not uncovered the middle name association of Jesse Woodson James so maybe a future family might because I've not got the health or resources at this present time, 1996. Frank and Jesse's father died during the 49ers Gold Rush in California and Frank lived until 1915 and is buried in the same town as my mother's grandpa in Kearney, Nebraska. [The author may be confusing Kearney, Neb. With Kearney, Mo., but Frank isn't buried there either! He's in Independence, MO] . . .
