I had wondered if he was the James born c1879 who appears on the 1880 Census with Joseph H and Annie E (nee WALLACE). That was just speculation particularly as I think you have him as James J. If Cornelius's son is the 1920 recorded James then he would have been 68 years old, so it quite conceivably could be him. If wife Edith shows up there as well that would resolve. As for James Harvey KNIBBS, you will see from the tree that I put together that I have him as your cousin. Now, if he is your uncle that explains why I was troubled with his birthdate. Please confirm the details of his father and those of your grandfather, off list if appropriate. bfn Alan
