Family records tell us that Jesse James‘ strongest features are his “soul-piercing crystal blue eyes.”

ROW TWO: The eyes of Frank James
Sensitive to light, Jesse was known to blink his eyes often. A granulated eyelid condition occasionally caused his eyes to swell shut, particularly when asleep. These conditions are genetic and are experienced by others among the James family.

Do You Believe These Are Jesse James Eyes?
The artist Lois Gibson has authenticated these eyes as being Jesse James. Gibson has sued Stray Leaves, The James Preservation Trust, and Stray Leaves’ publisher Eric F. James because we say she is wrong. If you believe this not Jesse James, as we do, please support us in this lawsuit against Jesse James identity theft. GO FUND JESSE JAMES.

Two weeks ago two of our James family descendants from the Chickasaw Nation were discovered. Contact was made. Reunion has begun. When they are settled in and comfortable, you will hear much more about our newfound cousins. Meanwhile, below is testimony and video of a woman who discovered her birth father. She is not related to us. However, her story is very similar to some others that we have experienced within our family of stray leaves. Every one of us is enriched when discoveries and reunions like these occur. We know more stories like this will be revealed in the future. This is why the work of our Stray Leaves website must continue and not be defeated.
