Named in his father, Ralph's will dated 8 Oct 1834 at Wythe County, Virginia, along with his mother, Elizabeth and his siblings.

Purchased property 31 May 1816 in Champaign County, Ohio and later that year married Mary E "Polly" Clemens 31 Dec 1816 also at Champaign County, Ohio.

By 1820 James and Polly were living in Washington County, Indiana.

The following excerpt from A History Of Clay County, Indiana refers to grandson Jerome Bogle:
"The Bogle family came originally from Virginia, both the great¬ grandfather and grandfather of Jerome being natives of Wythe county. The former was Ralph Bogle, whose wife was a sister of Richard Henry Lee, and the latter, James Bogle, the younger man being born January 16, 1796, and dying June 22, 1879. The grandfather married Miss Mary Clemens, born September 29, 1793, who died in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the 1st of November, 1866. The great-uncle of our subject, Rev John Bogle, was a well-known circuit rider of the M. E. church. His son, the uncle, was a soldier of the Confederacy, and was attached to the body guard of the famous cavalry officer, General John H. Morgan. In 1863 he participated in the historic raid into Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, and was with General Morgan when he was captured. Mr. Bogle escaped by swimming the Ohio river, his superior officer being confined in the Ohio penitentiary for some time before his escape."

Family records give a date of death as 22 Jun 1879, and in the absence of any other supporting records, that is the current source for the death date.
