James is identfied as the son of Hugh Morrow and Sarah (McMullen) Morrow Lee based on estate records and associations with both Sarah and his half-brother Eli Lee in Indiana. He married Sarah Grisham in 1803 before they moved to Indiana.

His will, made in 1845, names his wife Sally Ann, son Hugh, son Richard, daughter Ann, son Leonard, daughter Nancy, son Isaac, and son John.

Relevant records are summarized on James' Find A Grave profile, but highlights showing the connections are as follows:

  • After his father's death in 1780, his mother remarried to William Lee in 1782. They initially lived on Hugh's land before moving to Greenville Co, SC.
  • James returned to Orange County at the age of 21 to settle is father's estate. Hugh's land was reconfirmed to his heirs on 1 September 1801. James then sold this tract in 1803. He sold the land he inherited from his grandfather in 1802.
  • He married Sarah Grisham in Orange County in 1803; the bondsman was his uncle-by-marriage Richard Thompson.
  • Between 1812 and 1815, Eli Lee (his half-brother), Sarah Lee (his mother), and James all received land entries in present-day Fayette (then Franklin) County, Indiana.
