Looking for Simeon Henry James born about 1790 (?) in Virginia. Birth year based on birth date of first child (born in 1818) Simeon Henry married Jane Robertson in Limestone county Alabama. All I have to verify that he was born in Virginia is a biography of his grandson who stated that his grandfather was simeon Henry james of Virginia. Simeon Henry James died about 1826-27. His children were: William Richard James born 1818, Elizabeth James born 1820 and John Napoleon Bonaparte James born 1822. Has anyone run into the name Simeon in a James family. The name Simeon came all the way down the descendents line so perhaps it was a family name before the first simeon I can I.D. Thanks for any help.
