We've spent years researching, using primary sources including family documents. We hope to have the book available in the Spring of 2012. From reading the comments here it is clear that there is a lot of misinformation about a great number of things. I'm sorry that I can't clear up some of the more flagrant mistakes now but when the book comes out I am quite sure that you will be interested. It will be properly footnoted, too.

For a long time his family knew he had died but didn't know how; his younger brother Robert W, Jemison heard about quite by chance.
