The New Castle, DE James family seems to have started with Howell JAMES, a Quaker who first settled in the Chester co, PA area. He came from Pont y Moel, Monmouthshire, England, in 1684. He had several sons-- James James, William James, Phillip James, Howell James. At this point it gets complicated because they seemed to have named their children the same names, and many seemed to have been married more than once. So I'm trying to sort them all out, and probably have children attached to the wrong parents!!! I will search through my files tonight and see if I have a George JAMES.
