STATTS, JAMES V. farmer and stock raiser, Sec. 27, P.O. White Hall. Mr. Statts is a native of New Jersey, born in 1822, and was in his 15th year when he accompanied his parents, Peter and Catherine Statts, to Greene Co., the family settling five miles north of White Hall.
Peter Statts was the possessor of but little of this world's goods, but he had a strong will and physical endurance that few, if any, excelled; a successful farmer; he passed away seven years ago, after a long life of usefulness and honor, at the ripe age of 88 years. His wife, whose maiden name was Voorhees, departed this life twelve years prior to her husband, and thus slowly the pioneers of long ago, whose generosity and kindness of heart have been sung by poets, and whose praises have been well written by American prose writers, are passing away.
James grew up on the old homestead, received a good common school education. At twenty-five he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Wyatt, a daughter of William Wyatt, deceased, once a prominent farmer, and well remembered by early settlers of Greene and Morgan Counties. There are seven children: Tobias, Peter, Abraham. Martha J., Sarah, Augusta, and Jessie. Like his worthy father, Mr. Statts acquired property through indefatigable effort, the homestead comprising two hundred acres, is among the best in the county.
