I don't have much, but maybe this will help.
His father, Blount H. Bazemore was married in Crawford County, GA.James appears to be the first child born in Alabama. The older children were born in Georgia.
Blount stayed in Alabama until his death.In a petition in the probate Court of Coosa County, Al in 1866, one of Blount's children was in Kansas, a married sister was in Mississippi and James in Texas.One son was a minor living in Texas, perhaps with James.
The rest of James' brothers and sisters were still in Alabama.
It would appear that James went to Texas on his own, but I don's know if it was before or after he married.
