  JOHN S. JAMES, eldest son of George and Ann (Sealy) James, was born in
  Somersetshire, England, May 4, 1817, and emigrated to America with his
  parents in 1832. For about thirty years he remained with his parents, and in
  1862 he moved onto his present farm of 160 acres. In 1861 he married Miss
  Martha, daughter of Thomas Gilmore, of Franklin Township, Wayne Co., Ohio. She
  died in 1884, leaving six children, as follows: Thomas Sealy, living at home;
  James Alfred, who married Sarah Grant and lives in Franklin Township, Wayne
  County; William Edward, living at home; George A. and Harry Oscar, in Nebraska,
  and Henry Arthur, at home. Mr. James is a Democrat in politics, and has served
  his township as supervisor for three years, trustee for two years, and is
  now serving his fourth year as treasurer. He and family attend the services of
  the Moorland Methodist Episcopal Church.
