Moses was listed as a tithable in the household of Benjamin
Hubbard in Amelia County in 1752. It was probably about 1752
that Ruth and Moses married and moved to Halifax with the rest
of the Echols’s. William Echols Jr. sold Moses land in Halifax
in February 1765. Witnesses to this transaction were Joseph
Collins and William Marchbanks.
Moses was a Quaker until 18 August 1797 when the South River
Monthly Meeting in Halifax County dismissed him “for purchasing
slaves and holding in bondage those whom he had [freed] some
time past.”
Several relations appointed Moses an executor of their will.
They were his father-in-law William Echols Sr., cousin James
Hendrick in 1769, brother-in-law Benjamin Hubbard in 1770, and
brother-in-law William Echols Jr. in 1788.
Moses died in Halifax County about 1795 (will dated 26 Sept.
1794, recorded 22 Feb. 1796). Thomas Terry, James Chappell, and
James Old witnessed his will. He identified eleven children and
left the “Negroes” in the care of his wife until her death when
they were to be freed. She immediately freed all twelve.

Jesse recruited Bob and Charlie Ford to help him rob the Platte
City bank. The Ford brothers posed as cousins of Jesse James,
but actually were not related to Jesse at all. The $10,000
reward on Jesse proved too appealing. While Jesse stood on a
chair in the family home at 1318 Lafayette Street in St. Joseph
to dust and straighten a picture, Bob and Charlie Ford drew
their guns.
Bob Ford put and end to the James Legend with a single bullet to
the back of the head on April 3, 1882. The Ford brothers
attempted to collect the reward. Instead, they were charged with
murder. They were sentenced to hang, but were pardoned by
Governor Tom Crittenden.
Two years later Charles Ford committed suicide and Bob Ford, the
"dirty little coward who shot Mr. Howard, and laid poor Jesse in
his grave," was himself killed in a bar room brawl in Creede,
Colorado, in 1892.
Jesse James was a moral paradox. He was a good father and family
man, and was religious in his own way. Whether he stole from the
rich and gave to the poor, or just kept it all, has never been
decided.

Amanda Mimms, at the home of Zee's sister, Lucy Mimms Browder,
in Kearney, MO. Because Jesse was already a highly sought-after
outlaw, the Reverend William James, brother of Jesse's father,
tried to discourage the union, but he failed to do so and
finally performed the ceremony. A "wanted man," Jesse took Zee
to Nashville, TN, around 1875 where he hoped they could live in
peace under the alias of John Davis Howard. In Nashville, four
children were born to Jesse and Zee.

"Frank joined a group of guerrillas, and in the spring of 1863
brought them back to the family farm to rest after a series of
raids. Union militia tracked the bushwhackers to the James farm,
beat 15-year-old Jesse and tortured Reuben into leading them to
the guerrilla camp. Most of the band escaped. If Jesse, having
been raised in an adamantly anti-abolitionist family and very
likely envying Frank's adventures, needed further incentive to
go to war, the day's events provided it." Src: JESSE JAMES Last

Documentary douses theory on Jesse's death
BY DION LEFLER
The Wichita Eagle
Excerpt
"A disputed history
For the moment, let's look at what nearly everyone agrees on
when it comes to the legend of Jesse James.
First, there is no disputing that there actually was a Jesse
Woodson James, born the son of a Baptist preacher in Clay
County, Mo., on Sept. 5, 1847.
As a teen, he and his family were brutalized by Northern
sympathizers in the then-tumultuous Missouri-Kansas border
region.
So, with his older brother Frank, he joined up with Quantrill's
Raiders, a band of Confederate guerrilla fighters who visited
destruction and death on Unionist soldiers and civilians in
Kansas and Missouri. He also served as a Confederate spy.
After the war, Jesse James turned to robbing banks and trains,
either for personal gain or maybe to try to finance a rebirth of
the Southern cause -- or maybe a little bit of both.
And there's absolutely no doubt he became a folk hero to many
who, in a time of rampant corporate abuse of the populace, had
no love for bankers or railroadmen.
Traditionalists and revisionists part company about the time of
his reported death in 1882.
Traditional history says that Jesse James -- living under the
alias Thomas Howard -- was killed by a single bullet shot to the
back of the head as he stood on a chair straightening a picture
at a rented home in St. Joseph, Mo. The home is now one of
several James museums.
The killer was Robert Ford, Jesse James' cousin and a James Gang
recruit who turned traitor to collect a $10,000
wanted-dead-or-alive reward.
The revisionist versions are pretty much summed up in the title
of Pastore's two-part book: "Jesse James Faked His Death."
They point to inconsistencies in the witness testimony of the
time. For example, witnesses testified that only one shot was
fired and that it punctured the wall after exiting Jesse James'
head. The bullet was actually found lodged in the skull in a
1978 exhumation of his original grave at the family farm in
Kearney, Mo.
And, they point out, the bullet was a .38 caliber, not the .45
that Ford testified to having fired.
Jesse James sightings started almost before the body was cold.
At least three other possible Jesses have surfaced in the 121
years since.
Any of them may have been Jesse James, at least, part-time.
Most historians have concluded that some of the robberies
originally attributed to the James Gang were copycat crimes,
committed by others masquerading as Frank, Jesse and their
accomplices.
In fact, Jesse James added to his own legend by writing letters
to newspapers denying involvement in some of the robberies
committed in his name."
