James and his parents moved to St. Johnsbury, Vermont, in 1818. He was baptized in 1833. In 1834 he and his cousin went on short term missions in New England. He returned home to Kirtland where his family had moved.

During his mission in Maine, he met a convert, Eliza Ann.

She moved to Kirtland where they took up their friendship and were married. They went with the group to Far West but were forced to leave by the mobs. They settled for a time in Lima, Illinois, until again forced from their home by a mob. They lived in Nauvoo until forced out of there. They lived in Iowa until 1852, when they formed a company with James at the head to travel to Salt Lake.

It was hard for him to take other wives as advised by President Young, but his faith was great and he complied. In 1868 he was called by Brigham Young to go to Dixie to lay out tracts for townships. He took Jane with him.

In 1876, after his mission was completed, he moved his family to Pettyville where he was made superintendent of the Sunday School and postmaster. He and his sons helped build the school house. He surveyed and laid out the town.

Several years later they moved to Sterling where James was a successful farmer. He ran the post office for several years. He died while living here.
