The family moved alot. Their transportation was by covered wagon. As newlyweds, James and Rebecca lived awhile in Kensington, Kansas. Then, in 1891, the growing family moved to Danville, Kansas, where James worked in a harness shop.
In 1893 they moved on again, first to Harper, Kansas, and then back to Kensington.
In 1901 the family was living five miles west of Sand Creek, Oklahoma, in the sand hills. They stayed there five years even though the sand blew and things in general were miserable.
In 1906 they moved to a farm southeast of Manchester, Oklahoma.
After two years there, they moved again, in 1908, to another farm. This one was south of Bluff City, Kansas. They lived on it for four years.
In 1912 the family moved on, to a house on East Main Street in Anthony, Kansas, where they lived until 1915.
Then they went to Colorado for seven years.
By that time all of the children were married with the exception of Fannie-who never married-and Harry and Glen. Glen was living near Branson, Colorado, where he had taken up a homestead. Fannie and her parents moved in a covered wagon to Colorado in 1915, and settled near Glen. The trip from Anthony to Branson took three weeks.
