- A different researcher says:
“It looks like James' daughter, Mary had two sons, Benjamin Franklin Cheatham III and William Denman Cheatham. I didn't find any children from Benjamin III. Benjamin and his wife died in 1966 and 1997, respectively. I think I made a mistake by saying that William lived in San Jose. I think he lived on San Jose Ave. in Alameda, CA. It looks like William had two children (another William and Lee).”
