Born in Ireland or Scotland. As I have yet to find a birth certificate I am not sure. A great aunt, Annie, said in a letter that he was a musician and music teacher from a good family. He fell in love with Jane who worked in a Linen Mill. Women of class did not work in those days and this caused his family much embarrassment. He was told by his father that if he did marry her, the family would want him to leave and go to Canada for good. In exchange his father agreed that he would be paid a sum until his death as long as he never returned. James immigrated in 1832 and his wife and first born Rosanna followed in 1833. Remaining children were born in Norton,Kings Co., N.B. Canada. Aunt Annie, indicated that she could not remember him ever working.
