Jesse Edwards James (31 August1875 - 26 March1951), commonly known as Tim, was the only surviving son of American outlaw Jesse Woodson James. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee during the height of Jesse James' career as an outlaw. His mother was Zerelda, Jesse James' wife and his first cousin.
James was named after his father and Major John Newman Edwards. He went by the name of Tim Edwards in his youth to conceal his relationship. James married Stella Frances McGowan on 2 January1900 in the parlor of his mother's home, as she was too sick to attend the wedding. The couple had four daughters: Lucielle Martha James (born 21 December 1900), Josephine Frances James (born 20 April 1902), Jessie Estell James (born 27 August 1906), and Ethell Rose James (born 10 July 1908).
James wrote a book, Jesse James, My Father (ISBN 9781591070443), which was published in 1899.
