"James, the second son was born in Ireland in 1718, just before the embarkation, or, as some have said, during the voyage. He served in the revolutionary war, and was in Reid's company at Bunker Hill. He settled in the northern part of Londonderry, and had six children, as follows: 1. James, who married Martha McCluer, and was an elder in the church in the West Parish. 2. Jonathan, who married Eleanor Dickey, and removed in 1778 to Antrim. He was one of the first elders in the church in that town, and was the father of George W. Nesmith, Esq., of Franklin, N. H. 3. Robert, who married Jane Anderson. 4. Elizabeth, who married James Cochran, of Windham. 5. Mary, who married James McCluer, of Acworth. 6. Sarah, who married Daniel Anderson, of Londonderry."
