I have reason to believe that the James Percival that you are looking for, is my great-great grandfather. I found this link via Google. My daughter is doing a report on civil rights, which is connected to James Percival. If this is the James Percival, he had 8 children, one of his sons who is also named James(my great grandfather), had a daughter, Bessie Mae Percival (later Bessie Mae Percival-Rhodes. Bessie was my grandmother. Please reply!!!
