bullet  General Notes:

The death records of three of James' children indicate that he was born in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The reason for this is unclear, but it is possible that James Sr.'s parents (Germans) immigrated from Pennsylvania to New Brunswick. He himself indicates that he was born in New Brunswick on the 1861 census.
