He married Mrs. Dicy A. (Duncan) Young on 17 Jul 1853 in Andews County, MO. They had one known child born in 1858. It is thought that James died before 1860 as he was not in the household at the time of the 1860 census and Dicy had appearently remarried a Mr. Mullins.
James was mentioned in the original claim by Sarah Despain in Green Co, KY Deed Book 19, page 318 11 Jul 1844 as an heir of William Despain.
