A good source in the book "Jesse and Frank James: THE FAMILY HISTORY" by Phillip W. Steele.
I also have heard the story about Jesse JAMES and the gang hiding out in my great-grandfather's barn. He, too, was a JAMES (Abraham JAMES married Etta COLE; chlidren: Eunice, Myrtle & Mildred). Note: Jesse's mother was Zerelda COLE.
Do you have any additional information? Do you have Marie Baker's e-mail address?
Thank you. Anne
