History of Logan County Illinois 1886 : page 640 James Primm, deceased, was born in St. Clair County, Illinois, in 1809. His father was Thomas Primm, and his gradfather, a native of the State of Virginia, was one of the pioneers of Illinois. James Primm came to Logan County in 1835, and was married in 1839 to Miss Maria Russell, born in Londoun county, Virginia, in 1818. Her parents, William and Nancy Russell, came at a very early day to what is now Logan County, but then was a part of Sangamon county. Mr. Russell had eight children, of whom only two are living-John Russell and Mrs. Primm. Mr Primm kept the first store at Postville, and was well known as one of the prominent early settlers of Logan County. In 1865 he settled on a farm in Chester Township, which he made a beautiful place. Here he resided till his death, which occurred in 1872. his wife still owns and occupies the homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Primm had nine children, four of whom are living-Edward J., born at Postville in 1846, lives on the homestead; Joh! n, born in 1848; William R., born in 1850, and Ruth, born in 1853.
