Leslie,
I have not had much time to research the James family, but this is what I have.It is mostly from family notes.I have found a number of mistakes with dates, so keep this in mind.
Beulah Grace James, b. Dec 2, 1892,Pocahontas, Tazewell, VA, d. April 14, 1984, Bluefield, Mercer County, WV.
Grace's father:
Ezekiel Hunter James, b. Dec 13,1862 Reading, Berks County, PA, d. Dec 1947.
Ezekiel's parents:
James Hunter James, b. June 25, 1835, married Elizabeth Anne Gilbert, b. Oct 17, 1840.
Grace's mother:
Margaret Ann Johns, b. 1866, Mt. Carmel, Northumberland Co., PA, d. Aug 18, 1903, Coaldale, Mercer Co., WV. Married April 27, 1883, Shamokin, Northumberland, PA.
Margaret's father:
? The notes I have are not clear.It is either Joseph A. Johns or Thomas Howell Johns. In different papers both are shown married to Mary Graham.I found in the 1870 Northumberland Co., PA census:
Thomas, 26, born Wales, works in coal mine
Mary J., 24
Margaret, 4
William, 2
I feel sure that this is him because the papers say he was born in Wales. I need to do more work on it.
James Hunter Rigney, b. July 9, 1875, d. abt July 1945.
James' parents:
Benjamin Turner Clements, b. 1838, and Eleanor Sidney Rigney, b. June 1844, Pittsylvania County, VA, d. 1905, Pittsylvania County, VA.
Ben and Ellen never married. She had at least eight children by him.She later married and had a total of thirteen. For more on this, check the previous posts on this forum.Search Ellen and Eleanor and you can read all of the info everyone has posted.
