Biography

James was born in 1871. He is the son of Billy Driver and Mattie McCrackin.

I remember something kind of amusing. Great Uncle Jim Driver loved to hunt and he would come to out house and go hunting with my brothers. They said that when something went wrong instead of cursing he would say: "well sugar" or some other expression with the word sugar. Dorcas Driver Otis.
