Notes for J. T. James On Margaret Bates' website I find a story from Ernest C. Haws about Joshua James: "According to Ernest C. Haws, Dora Alice married J. T. James on Christmas Day 1897 (typo-should be 1879). On 25 Jan 1880, one month after the marriage, Mr. James was shot down. (His death date is confirmed). The story continues that the killer was well-known in the area, and left rather hurriedly. At a later day, Mr. Boydstun disguised himself and went to track the culprit down, and returned him to the county where he was eventually hanged. Ernest continues that there was an old photo of a public hanging among his grandfather's effects, and he often wondered if it was the hanging in question." The Mr. Boydstun in the story is Charles Eugene Boydstun. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/a/t/Margaret-R-Bates/G...
