He married Mrs. Rhoda LAVARE, who was the former Rhoda MANCHESTER. James stated that he had come from Little Compton, RI. But, there is no way of knowing whether he was born there, or whether he lived there prior to moving to Westport, MA. If he married a widow, there is always the possibility that he had a first marriage. James and Rhoda had a daughter, Mary Anna, in 1837. I would very much like to find out if they had other children. Rhoda had 3 children from her first LAVARE marriage.
