Here also is a write-up in one of the histories locally which states that 2 of William and Jane's 10 children preceded their father in death: Portrait and Biographical Album of Green and Clark Counties, Ohio, published by Chapman Bros. of Chicago, 1890, pg 661. John C. James. Among the many valuable farms . . . A few words regarding the ancestors of Mr. James will not be amiss, before proceeding with his own life history. His grandfather was William James, a native of Wales, who was brought to America when three years of age, and lived in Loudoun County, Va., until 1801. On October 1, 1772, he married Miss Jane Williams, who bore him ten children, not one of whom is now living, although eight survived his own death. In the year above mentioned, he and his family came to the Buckeye State, settling in the northern part of Warren County, where he remained until his death. That event took place at Columbia, September 30, 1804, in the fifty-fourth year of his age. His wife survived him reaching the extreme age of ninety-four years. The oldest member of the family and William and Jane James was born in Loudoun County, Va., November 11, 1773, and was christened John. He came with the other members of the parental household to Ohio, and was the first member of the family to locate in Greene County. He came hence in 1808, settling on the northwest quarter of section 35, Sugar Creek Township, where he built a log cabin and opened up a good farm.
