Like James Bond James Thompson Senior insisted (even if it wasn’t spoken) on preserving the name James within the family bloodline

James O. Thompson Sr was born in Alabama around 1920

James old Thompson Jr was born in Cleveland in 1951

James Thompson the third was born in 1970 something and James Thompson 4th which is actually Thomas (I think, with James as his middle name) was born sometime in the 90s…my cousin…who I never quite knew…

…that same habit of naming Sons James or

including one’s name

and wanting that to be on the record for Generations

persisted in our family

it also persists in the bonds

family

…there’s evidence in the archives…
