<metadataxml><content><line>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Mary Polly Poore and Robert Sallee James&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</line><line>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Robert Sallee James was a Baptist preacher in Western Missouri. He was born July 17, 1818 in Logan County, Kentucky, a place called Lickskillet on the Whippopoorwill Creek. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</line><line>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;He was the son of &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;John and Mary Poore James&lt;/strong&gt;, both natives of Virginia, but very early settlers of Logon County, Kentucky. Robert was one of nine children, five sons and four daughters. The five sons were as follows: &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Wm. James&lt;/strong&gt; (1811), &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;John James&lt;/strong&gt; (1815), &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Robert S. James&lt;/strong&gt; (1818), &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Thomas M. James&lt;/strong&gt; (1823), &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Drury Woodson James&lt;/strong&gt; (1825), &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary James&lt;/strong&gt; (1809) married John Mimms, &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Elizabeth James&lt;/strong&gt; (1827) married John R. (Hugh) Cohorn. &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary Elizabeth&lt;/strong&gt; mother, &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary (Poore) James&lt;/strong&gt; died the following day after she was born. A neighbor&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;, Mary Elizabeth Hendricks&lt;/strong&gt; (who had lost her child one week before), breast fed the new infant girl a few weeks until she became very healthy and continued to raise her as her own until she was married. The name &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary Elizabeth&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; came from three sources, the names of her two older sisters, so she may always remember them, her mother, &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary&lt;/strong&gt; and her godmother&amp;rsquo;s name, &lt;strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary Elizabeth Hendricks&lt;/strong&gt; who raised her to adulthood. (Facts obtained from the old Hendrick-Newton bible, on record at the James Museum, Kearney, MO.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</line><line>&lt;p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #4e453f; font-family: 'source sans pro', 'helvetica neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"&gt;&lt;strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"&gt;&lt;em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mary Elizabeth James b January 16, 1827 Franklin Co.
