Was Robert ford Jesse James cousin?

Robert Ford was son of William Ford , Jesse James and Bob were not cousins. The real reason Robert Ford shot Jesse James was due to James rather brutal interogation of Bill Fords son and 15 year old cousin Samuel Ford. Jesse James tortured Samuel to try to gain information on the whereabouts of Jim Cummins a former gang member who Jesse had grown paranoid about. Bob and Charlie both held deep seeded resentments but especially Bob Ford, hated the way Jesse James had tried to extract the whereabouts of Cummins from Samuel. This was the real reason why both Bob and Charlie joined Jesse james, to exact revenge for the treatment of their cousin Samuel at the hands of James. On April 3, 1882 they acheived their revenge.


Did Jesse James want to be murdered so he planned his death?

Jesse James is thought to have planned out his death with Bob Ford but the truth is that James suspiciously took his jacket and gun belt off which to many and to me means that he wanted to be murdered because he gave Ford a perfect shot of the back of his head when he turned around to dust a picture up high on a wall.

St Joseph, MO Jesse James was apparently shot and killed at 1318 Lafayette St. in St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1882. He and his gang had rented a house there as a hideout, and his associate Bob Ford allegedly shot him in hopes of collecting a $5000 bounty solicited by the governor of Missouri.
