man killed as Jesse Woodson James in 1882, was in fact a first cousin named, Jeremiah “Jesse” Mason James. He was one of three men who secretly shared the same identity of the outlaw Jesse James. The alleged photo of the murdered Jesse below was edited to open the corpse’s eyes to show his appearance in life. His eyes were copied from the image of the man in the 5th photo below.

He called himself Jesse James, was an outlaw and he was married to his cousin, Zee Mimms.

Alleged sketch of Jesse & Zee James

While there is only one known “picture” of Jesse and Zee together, it is merely a sketched drawing.  On the other hand, the RJ Pastore Collection has many photos of Jesse Woodson James with his real wife Martha Jane Presgrove. http://jessejamesphotoalbum.com/martha-jane-presgrove/

A drawing has no value as documentary evidence. However, several actual photos of Zee and Jesse Mason James have surfaced in the RJ Pastore collection. The photos substantiate the facts and the weight of evidence proves Jesse was married to Martha, and Zee was married to Mason.
