I note that James K Ames lived with Patience his wife near Dover, Maine. For a map of this whole area, see 'map' under pictures for JKA. He was a tanner, as reported in his Obituary in Washington Co, MI. He was also US Postmaster in 1862 in South Dover.

Cemetery record of Patience: http://files.usgwarchives.net/me/piscataquis/cemetery/southdover.txt Note that Patience is buried by Rev Moses Ames in South Dover. I am essentially certain that Moses was James K's elder brother (b. Sullivan, Hancock, ME in 1812).

I note that James K Ames lived with Patience his wife near Alton, Maine -- quite near Bradford.


JKA moves a lot.
