For Jane Ingram, Palm Desert, CA Re: George W. James of Deerfield NH I do not have a George W. James, rather a George H. in the History of Deerfield, written in 1878 (unfortunately, I cannot find the author citation in my notes). Neither is a George James in the Ye Old Cemetery, although my notes show that that cemetery is in Raymond, NH, not Deerfield. Here is the James family section in the History of Deerfield: JAMES FAMILY.
