When my husband checked the m.f. reel, it was for a free man of color, so he didn't write anymore. It's funny that yours is the first email I opened tonight. We were just talking about this James and the note my husband made on the paper. If your family is black, I will be glad to look James back up tomorrow at the library and answer your question. Let me know. You know, the James you're looking for would've only been 14 in 1830. Would they have listed him, at that age, as head of household? J.H.

By 1830 my James was living in Illinois. He was also white, so it is doubtful that we are looking at the same James Posey.
