James Chiles
James J. Chiles (May 1, 1833 – September 21, 1873), also known as Jim Crow Chiles, was a Confederate outlaw who fought with Quantrill's Raiders. Personal life Born on May 1, 1833, Chiles was from a Jackson County, Missouri family. His father, James Chiles, was a state senator. Chiles married Sarah Ann Young in 1861 when she was 16 years of age. Her sister was Martha Ellen Young Truman, the mother of President Harry S. Truman. Initially, Chiles seemed like a good husband for Sarah Young. He came from a family that held a lot of land and were early settlers in the county.

He was described as someone who could be good-natured, "but subject to violent fits of anger, and when angry, a very dangerous man." In 1857, a man commented on Chiles' table manners, and Chiles killed him. He was tried for murder, but was not convicted, in part due to his fa ...
