    'Wakelee, James.

    He had lands recorded in Hartford, Feb. 1639/40. ...He m. 5 Oct. 1652, Alice, widow of James Boosey of Wethersfield, and removed there. ... Before Jan. 1663 he fled from his wife and family to Rhode Island. In May 1663, Henry Wakelee had a power of attorney from James. ... [James] had been accused of a capital crime, presumably witchcraft.
    Attempts of James and Alice to divorce each other were unsuccessful. She d. at Wethersfield, 30 Aug. 1683. He ... is said to have been living in Providence as late as 1690, when he must have been quite old, as he certainly was b. by 1610, and we should guess that he was b. by 1600.
    The relationship of James to Henry and Richard is not exactly determined, but it is a reasonable guess that they were his sons by an earlier marriage.'
