I think the roll call is a wonderful idea. Here's my line. 1. A. T. JAMES (I think) 2. John Wesley JAMES b 9 Sept 1823 Pike Co. Ohio d 18 May 1902 Columbus Jct. IA married Catherine SHOEMAKER 1844 Adams Co. Ohio b 6 Feb 1832 d 7 May 1893 Columbus Jct. IA Children: John Franklin, Adam Spencer, Hester Ann, Lawrence Chalmers, Lucas Clarence (twins). 3. Adam Spencer JAMES b 13 Jan 1848 Louisa Co. IA d 1 April 1924 Stewart, IA (although he lived in Fontanelle, IA) married 30 Dec 1875 Greenfield, Adair Co. IA Frances Melvina HAMLIN b 23 Aug 1856 North Sanford N.Y. d 13 Jan 1917 Des Moines, Polk Co. IA (she died in the hospital there following surgery.) She lived in Greenfield, IA. Children: Clyde, Ernest, Katherine, Karl, Clara Belle, Letta Rachel, Adam Jr., Mary Frances, Gladys Epworth. 4. Letta Rachel JAMES b 27 May 1888 Greenfield, Adair Co. IA d 12 Feb 1962 Waterloo, Blackhawk Co. IA (She died in the hospital but she lived in Cedar Falls, IA) married Ellery Burrell JACOBS b 14 Aug 1882 d 20 Jun 1937 Fontanelle, Adair Co. IA Any information will be appreciated. John Wesley's parents have been a road block for years. Also Catherine Shoemaker's parents.
