James Edward Mapp aka “Boot or Pig” was born August 18, 1950 to the late Robert "Jerry" Mapp, Sr. and Littie Bell “Doll Baby” Cox-Mapp in Rockdale County, Conyers, Georgia.

During his early years, James attended Peeks Chapel Baptist Church. He attended J.P. Carr Elementary/High School and after graduation, he join the Army. He served in the Vietnam War conflict as a Heavy Vehicle Driver (this is where he got those great driving skills from).

James enjoyed baseball-preferable The Braves and LA Dodgers. James was member of the TARA Club in Hapeville. He also loved football, wrestling, and travelling all over the world but Mexico was an annual vacation that he loved the most. He had a love for Chatman’s Pharmacy in Hapeville, hats, good barbeque, country music and overall just having fun.
