According to his (2nd) marriage license issued May 1921, James was born in Dallas, PA and in 1921 was residing in Union Hill, New Jersey. Note that James is found in the 1920 census living in Union Ward 3, Hudson County, NJ. [According to Wikipedia, Union Hill was a town that existed in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, from 1864 to June 1, 1925, when it merged with West Hoboken to form Union City.] But that 1920 census record appears to have been thoroughly messed up as far as where everyone was born. Possibly the info was given by someone else or even the sister-in-law that had come to live with the family after James' first wife died. Note that in this 1920 census James is marked as a widower; so his first wife and mother of the listed children is deceased. If the maiden name of the sister-in-law, Anna Geiger, could be learned, we would know the maiden name of James' first wife. Possibly she was born in Wyoming COUNTY, PA and thought perhaps the others were also. Ella's last name was difficult to read and ancestry.com has it as Henderson. Possibly it is Anderson.

Note that in 1910 Sarah says she has had 7 children and only three are living. The part about only three living is shown to be an error by the 1920 census; also Elnora was born after the 1910 census so Sarah and James probably had at least 8 children.
