Hi, again! Yes, James and John were brothers. They sailed on "The Brooklyn" from NY around the cape to SF in 1852, and settled in the Anderson Valley area. James and another man (John??) had a livery stable/blacksmith shop in Mendocino.

James had 2 daughters by his first wife, Maria Embrocia, an Indian who lived near the mission where he settled. They had two daughters, Hannah and Isabella.

James and his 2nd wife, Annie Elizabeth Rovie, also lived in that area. Annie (as we refer to her) was Indian, and they had three children: Elmore Lawrence "Cobb" (pronounced cOb), Abraham Lincoln Smalley (his daughter is about 95 and lives north of Seattle - spry as a tack! but *only* works one job now), and Horace Greeley Smalley.

James's son Elmore Lawrence "Cobb" Smalley moved to Rockford, Spokane Co, Wash, and married Laura Hannah Layman. They had two children, Benjamin Chalmers Smalley (died Santa Barbara - 1949??) and Alice Marion Smalley, who was my grandma. She died here in Longview, Wash., in 1992 at the age of 92. James and Annie divorced and he moved to Rockford. Annie stayed in California several years, then went to Olds, Alberta, Canada, where she died. Both James and Cobb are buried at Rockford; James died 1901, Cobb in 1954. Laura died following cancer surgery in 1902 and is buried in Spokane.
