Brownsville, Utah in Weber County is named in his honor. He lived exactly 62 years, born September 30, 1801, in Rowan County, North Carolina, and died September 30, 1863 in Ogden, Utah.
His parents were religious and God-fearing people who were members of the Baptist Church. James felt strongly about God and religion, and lived his first 33 years as an active Baptist clerk and missionary in the Tom's Creek Baptist Church, and as a constable near present day Denton, Davidson County, North Carolina.
He moved his family to Illinois, where, for 13 years, he farmed and ran 2 mills, served as justice of the peace, and where he and his family were converted to the "Mormon" Church (The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). He and his families, with the other Mormons, were driven out of Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1846.
