The Exact Location is not known. It's believed that they came from Stewart County., Tennessee but, this has not yet been proven by me. About 1810-1820 after John {J. ?} JAMES, was born the JAMES Family line went to Lewisburg Twp, Muhlenberg County., Kentucky. It's not knowen who John JAMES, Father & Mother & Brothers & Sisters are at this time but, I do have a good idea. John JAMES, first Wife: Malinda WELCH {Daug. Of: Osias WELCH & Elizabeth ROLAND-ROWLAND}, married in Muhlenberg County., Kentucky. They had 10 children all but, the last 3 where born in McDonough County., Illinois. John JAMES, stayed in Muhlenberg County., kentucky from 1830's to 1844 and then moved to McDonough County., Illinois and then lived thier from 1844 to late 1854. In 1854 John JAMES & Second Wife: Esther FRACNIS {Daug. Of: John FRANCIS II & Elizabeth RANKIN}, after Malinda WELCH death in McDonough County., Illinois, John JAMES remarried t! o Second Wife: Esther Francis & they moved to Grandriver Twp, Henry County., Missouri from 1854 to 1866 until John JAMES, death in 1866 in Henry County., Missouri. He is buried in Henry County., Missouri. This is all I know of my GGGG Grandfather & Grandmother. William Jefferson JAMES the first child Of: John JAMES & Malinda WELCH, is my GGG Grandfather: William Jefferson JAMES & Elizabeth WELCH. Elizabeth WELCH, is the Daug. Of: Richard WELCH & Elizabeth LEACH. Richard WELCH is the {Son Of: Osias WELCH & Betsy HARCOUT}, Richard WELCH is a Step-Brother to Malinda WELCH, and Elizabeth WELCH, is a Step Niece To: Malinda WELCH. ************************************************** Copyright © 2004 by Andy "Andrew" Lee JAMES.
