~

James was a farmer and stock-raiser, coming to Texas in 1858, bringing his family a year later. He brought his goods over the prairies to Texas when he came in 1858, purchasing a plantation three miles from the falls of the Brazos river, in 1858. He brought his family by water as far as Galveston and they came up the Houston &Texas railroad as far as Millican, the terminus of the road. He then moved his family to his plantation with wagons, where he continued to reside until his death, in 1865. He was not a politician. He was in the Confederate army for a short time, being stationed at Galveston. Considering his short life, after his arrival in the State, he did a great deal of good, and assisted in the development of Falls county. He raised eight children, as follows: J. E. (see sketch of Mrs. Emma Tomlinson); William was killed at Yellow Bayou, Louisiana, while in the Confederate army; Amanda, deceased, became the wife of H. I. Young; A. F., our subject; John,deceased; E. A.,of this county; Sarah E., wife of E. L. Andrew, and R. E. L., of Martin county.
