There is a marker as you enter the city of Barboursvile W.Va. telling about Jesse robbing a bank within the city. Other than that....sorry

[erik12152003]

I will look into that and see what i can find thanks for the info. I have been trying to track him across WV and that put him on the right path that I had placed on the map. A coincidence I don't think so lol

I live not far from Barboursville, and if the James Gang stash is within 50 miles the DFX will be sure to sniff it out!!! It was said that he was going to rob the bank here in Point Pleasant, but the getaway would be to difficult with the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers would slow him down.

Got ties to Webster Co . Family just up the creek from me came from there . They had an old granny that lived with them when I was a kid and spent a lot of time there . When she got in her cups she would tell us of Jessie and some of his gang spending time at the farm she lived on as a 'hired girl' before they robbed the bank in Huntington . Her bonafides was a holed gold coin on a leather thong around her neck for her 'buryin'money . Purportedly given to her by one of the gang members for an 'accommodation'.
Other stories she told us checked out through the family I married into down there . They strangely remained silent about that one even though one bil named his firstborn son Jessie James .

I grew up and went to school in Barboursville. We used to camp in a place called Jesse James Cave out back of town. It was rumored that Jesse and his gang holed up there after a bank robbery. It was a cutback below a waterfall. First place that I ever saw Foxfire (the glowing lichen). There's a park there now. I wonder.....

sorry so long for replys but hinkle mt is in Nicholas County I think I will ask to double check.

I've been to that park and that exact location many times, although I have never heard of any JJ stories in that location.
