He was the son of John Q. and Margaret Adams. James, had 3 brothers that I know of: William, born abat. 1800, Calvin Winslow, born June 15, 1806 and Reuben, born about 1808. The 4 sons came to Canada and settled in Elgin County,in Ontario. I can find no death record for their father, John, just that the record of the will leaves me to believe that he died prior to March in 1863. There are no records here in Ontario for either parent so I am assuming they stayed behind in New York State. It was passed down through the family that the boys had come from the Albany area. If you find any connection to your family I would greatly appreciate your help. You can email me at sj.graves@yahoo.ca Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
