    James' sons with his first wife Grizzell were Joseph, Benjamin, Reuben, Aaron.
    He married Grizzell Mounts, daughter of Joseph and Katherine Mounts who were living in Maryland at the time James and Grizzell married. Probably Joseph and Benjamin were born in Maryland. James and Grizzell settled in Virginia near where Joseph and Katherine Mounts were living. The first documented record of them living in Virginia was in 1750.

    In the year 1765, James acquired land for Joseph and Benjamin. It is probable that this is about the time Grizzell died. It is not known where she is buried. James then married Ann and they had another son, James Jr. James, Ann, and James Jr then relocated to Washington County, Pennsylvania CA 1780.
