I've been stuck here for years, even went to Michigan and called Burlington, Vermont to try and figure stuff out, all without success. So let me ask: I have been to the Archives, and the only military files I found did not include parent information. Where/what did you look? And when you say you got info from the CW Graves Registration Officer, how does one do that? I would love to get copies of the records for my files. We had been speculating that William H. was related, but we couldn't figure out how. As for Jane: she actually died in Chicago (we don't know why she was there, or I've forgotten), and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Grand Rapids in an unmarked grave next to a child (Frank A.) who died just before his first birthday. I asked at that cemetery, but it didn't seem that James was there. Originally Jane bought six plots, apparently used two, and the rest reverted to the cemetery at some point. There are some other descendants of James Sr. still living in Grand Rapids. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
