Found in Nicholas County, KY marriage records ; a William JAMES (born est 1795-1800 ..place unknown ) married Margaret CRESS , on Oct 16 1817 , Nicholas County , KY . My John William JAMES Sr. was married , in Nicholas County KY, also , just 18 months later ,,,I'm wondering (and hoping ) that there is a connection between this John and this William JAMES ..... ?? My John Wm. JAMES migrated to Montgomery County, IN by 1830 . Anyone working on JAMES - CRESS line ? My connecting Surnames ; Enlow.......Mullikin......Sutton........Wall........Leonard.......Kerschner... .Shull...........Haskill / Gaskill ?/ Haskin ? Beth [email protected]
