John W James born 1777
« on: Tuesday 06 December 11 20:59 GMT (UK) »
Hello :)  I am hoping someone can help me, or at least point me in the right direction.

Here is the info that I'm need of:

John W James
b abt 1777

The only bit of information that I have was that he was born in Gloucestershire, England.  He immigrated to the US, but I don't know the exact date of when he left England.  His wife's name was Sarah, b abt 1785 in England (not sure where in).

I would very much like to find out more about him, but with his name being so common it has been very difficult.  Thanks!

hi,  i have had a search around but all I've come up with is
john  w James born 1777 Gloucester England died 1865 Ohio .USA
wife Sarah born England 1785 died 1845 Ohio
john  w  James  jnr born 1806 England died 1871 Ohio
Joseph   born 1811  England

so at least you know they didn't go to the USA before 1811  :)
