Continuing our search for the truth-



Sun, 9 Jul 2000

Hi,

I just wanted to make another comment about the Pleasant James/ James L. Courtney connection. Although there has been no bloodline established at this point there is a kinship by marriage. This being the case makes it more likely that JLC and Pleasant knew each other. Just to see some link is exciting to me. If Betty proves her case then it will make more sense why these familys were close.

Disclaimer and Message from David Hedgpeth:


Dear Reader,

The purpose of the letters and responses I have written on the Jesse James-James L. Courtney controversy is to fully and fairly examine all sides of the issue. It is a good possibility that my family in Texas is linked to Jesse James and James L. Courtney, so I have a driving personal interest to know the truth. For future generation and our peace of mind I feel moved to see this process to the end. My opinions and viewpoints today will modify as new information comes forth. Likewise, I hope all can say and mean that. Sometimes I may be wrong. If I make a statement in error, let me know and I will gladly correct it. If though it is a difference of opinion, then all are entitled to their own. I try to be careful in criticizing only the issues and not individuals. It may seem at times I am getting close to that but that is not my intent because doing so would be unproductive. I do try to engage everyone to broaden their perspective and work together for a common good to find the whole truth on this important family and historical issue.

I invite your input pro or con on the Genforum or to me directly. If you have an interest, then your help is needed.

Thanks to all,
