Per Mortimer Lemon Thompson Geology Notes:
James Sr. was born in Scotland, I believe in the Glasgow area. He came to the US in 1761 at the age of 14 as a stowaway. He became an indentured servant to a carpenter in the Maryland/Virginia area. It is rumored he and his son helped build the original White House.
