In 1995, the remains of Jesse James were exhumed. Through hair and bone samples from his grave, his DNA could be isolated and compared with the genetic profiles of his relatives living today. This also disproved various theories that he had not been shot by Bob Ford, a member of his gang.
Jesse James belonged to haplogroup T2 in the maternal line.
