James "was one of the largest taxpayers on the east side of the Great River. It is a family tradition that he was also a merchant and frequently voyaged to the old country; and that at each of his daughters' marriages he was wont to bring home to each a handsome brocaded silk dress and so many yards of Irish lace."[4]
