James was my father's, John, older brother. My Dad's side of the family told me about him. I noticed your screen name is shabazz06. I had an uncle who has since passed named Willie. Are you by chance my uncle Willie's wife or one of his children, if your are one of the children are Aaron, Kelly, or Dujuan? Evie and Pearl (a.k.a. Pearlie Mae) passed years ago. The family was raised in
Birmingham,
Alabama. Where I and most the remaining family have resided for as long as I can remember, although a few have moved out of the state.
Prior to coming to
Birmingham,
Alabama my grand parents told me they moved from "the country". I'm not sure from which county they relocated. My grand mother told me that jobs were scarce in "the country", except for jobs working the fields, so they relocated to
Birmingham, where jobs were plentiful.
I know only a small amount of James. My Dad would tell us, my siblings and me, how James being the elderest was a real tough guy.
My Dad told us that James married a Puerto
Rican woman and fathered to sons with her. After his death I think his death was over money and it was setup for two women stab him to death. Feel free to contact me.
