I have traced Jane JAMES from Washington Co. MD in 1850 census. Need to find her death date or others researching this line.
Jane E. was born Jane E. FRIEND abt. 1820 in MD, to Andrew FRIEND (mother's name Unknown). Jane married Wm. JAMES 1853 and had two children: Harriet and William. Husband William died about 1859.
Jane moved to McPherson Co. Kansas about 1875-1878. I believe a will for Jane E. James 1876-1880 is for this lady as I can not find her in the 1880 KS census.
Daughter Harriet (Hatie H.) James m. G. B. McGranahan Dec. 10, 1879
Son William, b. abt 1858 is found in McPherson City, McPherson Co., Kansas in 1800 with wife, Florence (b. MD), son Eddie F. 1, b. KS and son Tuy, b. Jan.1880 KS.
Eddie (Ed) JAMES m. Margaret KENNEY, July 12, 1900 in McPherson, Kansas
Tuy JAMES m. Edna WESTMAN Feb. 29, 1901 in McPherson, Kansas.
McPherson Co. KS Wills
James, Jane E. pg. #30—Item #1—Film #2319067—Date -1876/1880 Type-Will
James, Jane E. pg. #27—Item #3—Vol. B—Film # 2319067—Date - 1882/1899 Type-Will
No members of this JAMES family are listed in the 1875 County census; this Jane (with her son William) must have moved from Maryland to Kansas between 1876-1878. 1878 is the date on the deed to Geo. Potts, selling the land of Jacob Friend.
I would like to "talk" to anyone from this line so as to compare notes for Jane E. FRIEND JAMES.
