I will repost my introduction: Dear James mailing list, I would appreciate any assistance or connections on my James family. The following are facts that I can source: 1._____? James b. PA m. _____? _____? b.MD 2. Joshua James b. 13 Oct 1811 MD d. 1895 Merrick Co., NE m. Katherine Brown b. 12 Mar. 1820 MD d. 1896 Merrick Co., NE (both of her parents were born in MD) 3. Katherine Amanda James b. 23 Dec. 1863 MD d. 1924 Merrick Co., NE ***(obituary lists birth: Havre de Grace, Harford Co., MD) (she would be my great grandmother) m. Hiram Marcus Dexter 3 Aug. 1882 (they gave birth to my dad's mother, Dorothy Dexter Gregg) I discovered information in the Merrick County, NE, obituary of my great grandmother, Katherine Amanda James: "She was the youngest of 9 children all of whom have proceeded her to the grave except one brother. At the age of three years (1866) she moved with her parents to Ft. Wayne, (Allen Co.), Indiana. When she was 14 years old (1877) they moved by wagon to Nebraska, locating near Clarks (Merrick County, NE). Later they moved to Silver Creek (Merrick County, NE)." These are possibilities from census: Joshua Jame's parents were "possibly" Joseph b. abt 1772 and Elizabeth b. abt 1779. "Possible" siblings of my great grandmother are: Harriett O. b. abt 1834, Mary A. b. abt 1835, Alice A. b. abt 1847, Elizabeth C. b. abt 1848, Joseph b. abt 1851, Ida b. abt 1860, and Hattie b. abt 1862. (Harriett O. and Mary A., could possibly be sisters of Joshua, I suppose...I realize some of the dates don't compute!) My GG grandfather, Joshua James, ran the first mill in Silver Creek, NE, and possibly ran one at Harlin, Allen Co., IN. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Hope this connects with someone from my James family.
