James Annis (also recorded as James Annas) was a "Minuteman" and marched to the alarm of April 19, 1775 at Lexington, MA with Captain Joshua Holt's Co. from Andover, MA. He also served in Captain Ford's Co., Colonel Robison's Regiment from February 5 to April 1, 1776. James removed to Stamford, VT after the Revolution and resided there until 1794, at which time he emigrated to Madison County, NY. His sons, Uriah and Oliver were residing at Madison County during the 1790 census, and it is probable that James followed them there. He settled at Nelson, NY, and eventually constructed a grist mill on the Erieville Creek, approximately one and a half miles north of Erieville village. Eventually this mill was handed down to his youngest son, Truman who operated it until 1818. In 1807 James and his son Uriah were elected to the positions of overseers of highways and fence rows at Nelson, NY.
It was reported in Early Pioneers of Madison County New York that James died in 1829 at the home of his eldest son James Annas Jr. at Locke, Cayuga County, NY. His final resting place is unknown.
