Robert Ford was son of William Ford , Jesse James and Bob were not cousins. The real reason Robert Ford shot Jesse James was due to James rather brutal interogation of Bill Fords son and 15 year old cousin Samuel Ford. Jesse James tortured Samuel to try to gain information on the whereabouts of Jim Cummins a former gang member who Jesse had grown paranoid about. Bob and Charlie both held deep seeded resentments but especially Bob Ford, hated the way Jesse James had tried to extract the whereabouts of Cummins from Samuel. This was the real reason why both Bob and Charlie joined Jesse james, to exact revenge for the treatment of their cousin Samuel at the hands of James. On April 3, 1882 they acheived their revenge.
