Jesse James

Jesse Woodson James (September 5, 1847 – April 3, 1882) lived in Nashville in the late 1870s under the name 'J.D. Howard.'

From the April 18, 1882 edition of the Nashville Banner:

“In the years of 1875 and 1876 he lived with his wife and one child, on Boscobel Street, in East Nashville. During the time of living there, James assumed the name of ‘J.D. Howard,’ which he afterwards bore while here."

The Howards also lived on Hydes Ferry Pike (rumored with Frank James and his wife)--this house still stands--, Mrs. Kent's Boarding House on South Summer Street, the 800 block of Woodland Street, and Russel Street.
