ok, I will tell you the story of what I know. My name is William Percy Iames III. I am 25 years old and I live in Cumberland Md, tho I am moving away within the week. My Parents bought a Hardware store about 15 years ago from people who are not related to us. Up on one of the walls on the upper floors some people have signed their names and painted crude art in what appears to be roofing tar or really thick black paint. I am assuming that these people were maybe construction workers or employees of whatever business was in the building before the people who started the Hardware store that we bought came along. One is Mckinley Iames and a date...I think 1914. I asked my dad about this, and he said that this guy was in jail and that he hung himself at some point. It is also apparent that he was dyslexic, because some of the letters are reversed if my memory serves me correct. When I talk to my dad next if I remember I will ask him again about it. And if you give me your e-mail address I can send you a picture of the signature. Also my grandmother was doing some sort of work awhile back on the family, I think she maybe mapped the genes back to before time began, I could also ask her. Hope this helps you some.
