Good for you Darrell! While most of the records you have been digging up may not pertain to you, you sure found a gem this time. The way I figure it James Jr. was your 5G grandfather. Findings like this must make all the hard work and false trails worthwhile. My records indicate Abigail had a sister Susanna. What happened to her?
