I am one of the few decendants of the only younger brother poven to have


a child. take a look at my genealogy work on myspace. id-liz_banks2000. James Younger is the only one who had a child unless you count folklore about a prostitute having a child w/ one of the other brohters. I am working on a self-published book and my mother's family has always told stories about them. James married a Rebecca whose maiden name was with held on the marriage certificate. Rebecca and James had one child, Perry who was raised in seclusion w/ his mother and Aunt. Perry's daughter Hazel was my mother's paternal grandmother.

Well I am the great-great-great (maybe one more great I don't even know) granddaughter of Cole Younger. Yeah I always thought that was pretty cool myself.

Cole did not have any children, atleast none recorded and no marriages. The brothers did have some half brothers who had children though

reply

Some sources indicate a child was fathered by Cole Younger with Belle Starr. Pearl Younger was widely believed to be Cole's child- Belle said so on several occasions. At this point it's all a bit moot, IMHO.

You're also one of the few people incapable of spelling "descendents" properly. Are you proud of that too?

Do you know how the Youngers were related to the Jameses? They call each other cousin but they don't seem to be first cousins (unlike Jesse and his wife, where his mother and her father were siblings).

The James family wasn't related to the Younger family. People sometimes erroneously assume a familial relationship because Jesse and Frank's mother was a Cole (maiden name) They see Cole Younger's name and leap to an incorrect conclusion. Fact is, though, that Cole's full name was Thomas Coleman Younger. Cole was just a nick-name.
