JAMES Family Genealogy - The Heritage Lady

ISSN 2639-3840

This JAMES website is about the JAMES family that descends from John JAMES (1688-1725) who married Justina THURSTON/THRUSTON (1691-1750).

Please see my NOTICE below about copying from this website.

My earliest known JAMES ancestor is John James. In 1712 John James was 24 years old. He was born in Bristol, Somerset County, England. He met a 19 year old woman, Justina Thurston, and they were married. Almost immediately after their marriage, John and his bride made plans to move to the Colonies in the New World. The young couple were sailing directly to a township, then known as “Martin’s Hundred,” (now known as Carter’s Grove) in the Colony of Virginia, near Jamestown. Justina was coming to claim her inheritance, a home that had been established by her parents, in the late 1600s. The property was comfortably situated along the James River and was known as the “Loveing Estate.” Justina’s estate in Martin’s Hundred, which is located on the James River, the site where our American history begins. The story of how they came to acquire this land is interesting. See below.

The site is on the James River near Williamsburg. An English settlement called Martin’s Hundred had been established here in 1618. During the 1970’s an archeological investigation began which extensively researched this early settlement and, subsequently, clarified much of the settlement’s history. About 1623 the occupants of Martin’s Hundred suffered a massacre. Those surviving appear to have vanished.

Martin’s Hundred was found by accident in the early 1970s, by archaeologists searching around Carter’s Grove, a stately 18th-century plantation eight miles east of Williamsburg, for evidence of its early outbuildings. What they instead found were traces of an early 17th-century town and fort and domestic and military artifacts — a fragment of a Dutch delft tile, table knives encrusted in silver, a gilded spur, body armor, sword guards, two iron helmets, ceramics from Italy, Portugal, Germany. They also found bodies — some hastily buried.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation decided, in 1985, to tell the story of these events and how the archaeologists were able to discover it. The challenge was to design a building that would leave the area undisturbed yet be able to comfortably accommodate visitors and present the site in an interesting manner. The small museum was placed underground, at the crest of a hill overlooking the archeological site. The visitor enters the building from the side of the hill, away from the site, and emerges from the museum facing the site and the James River beyond.

I have transcribed that article below. I have inserted my comments as clarification in [ ] below.

Transcribed it reads: 1774, with Col. Richard Taliaferro, Capt. John Lightfoot and others. Capt. Christopher [JAMES], eldest brother of Maj. Thruston James, married Lucy Thompson; their homestead, “Armfield,” in Martin’s Hundred. He died 1779, leaving nine children: Foster, married Miss Clough; John, married first Miss [Elizabeth Frances] Morris, secondly, Miss Mosely [Mosby*]; Thruston, married Sallie Pendleton; George, never married; Edward (twin brother [of George]), married Susanna Shcppard [Sheppard]; Elizabeth, married John Thompson of Rose Hill; Mary, married James Pendleton; Lucy, married Nathaniel Thompson; Francis married Miss Chiles. Page 295.

*The surname of Mosby has been spelled Mosely in several colonial records.

Anne Lov — *Edward Thruston and Ann Loving from Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography*

Justina’s great grandmother, Elizabeth (Beverly) Kingston, had sailed to Martin’s Hundred on the James River from England in 1618 along with two hundred and twenty settlers to populate the settlement that would include a fort and the fledgling Wolstenholme Towne, which was part of Martin’s Hundred.

The Mayflower would not sail to America for two more years. Jamestown had been established eleven years earlier. And three years after my ancestors arrived in America, in 1622, the settlement was ravaged by an Indian massacre. The Indians, who had until then maintained cordial relations with the encroaching English, staged a surprise attack on the James River settlements and massacred nearly 350 people. Elizabeth and her first husband, Thomas Kingston, survived.

1622 Massacre

According to the 1995 book Martin’s Hundred by Ivor Noel Hume, ” the story of the archaeological breakthrough at Martin’s Hundred is a marvelous account of sleuthing, suspense, and feats of deduction.”

Ivor Noel Hume was a Williamsburg archaeologist and his team pieced together the cultural and social fabric of the settlement from the shards of pottery, hardware, and other fragile artifacts painstakingly unearthed with trowel and brush. From the graves, a story emerges of disease and violence, eloquent testimony to the desperate, tragic lives of these early arrivals in the New World – a skull split by a heavy blow and showing signs of scalping; skeletons without coffins (four in a grave), and evidence of epidemic.” According to Washington Post Book World “The story of his archaeological dig is one of the most significant in American Historical archaeology.”

*A painting of Wolstenholme Towne during construction in 1620.*

After the massacre, Thomas Kingston served as Burgess for Martin’s Hundred Parish in 1629. After he died in 1636, Elizabeth married Thomas Loving (Loveing), who was also a landowner in Martin’s Hundred, owning at least 2,700 acres.

*1,500 acres in 1638 to Thomas Loving, from the Book Cavaliers & Pioneers*

Elizabeth and Thomas Loving, my 10th great grandparents, had a daughter named Anne, who married Edward Thruston on October 28, 1666 in Martin’s Hundred. Edward is quoted as saying: “But the celebration of our Wedding was at Chepoakes in the same country Virginia by Mr. Murry, Minister.” Anne and Edward had a son they named John Thruston, who was born in Martin’s Hundred on December 2, 1668. It would seem that Edward and Anne traveled to England shortly after John’s birth, because Edward died in England in 1670. Anne died there also.

Edward and Anne’s son John Thruston (shown as Thruston and Thurston in various records) and his wife Elizabeth Cary Thruston married in England on September 23, 1690. They had a daughter named Justina Thurston, who was born in England on Aug. 26, 1691. She married John James, who was also born in England, in 1688. As stated earlier, John and Justina married before 1712 in England. John and Justina then sailed to Virginia in 1713. Christopher James was born to them in 1720, also in Martin’s Hundred. Christopher married Lucy Thompson in 1746. They then had John James in 1750. John James married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Frances Morris and they married in 1774. Elizabeth died at the birth of their first child or very soon after. The daughter was named Elizabeth Morris James.

John married his second wife, Lucy Mosby, in 1780 in Henrico County, Virginia (see marriage record below). John and Lucy left James City County, Virginia soon after their marriage, and had several different homes in Virginia.

John and Lucy had ten children. Their first child was a son, William, born in 1780 in Hanover County, VA (my 4th great grandfather.) Hanover County is about 70 miles NW of where John was born in James City County. Then, they moved another 80 miles west and were living in Buckingham County, Virginia in 1783. Their 3rd child, John James, Jr. was born there.

SEE MY COMMENTS BELOW IN THE OUTLINE DESCENDANT CHART ABOUT THE ERROR THAT IS ON MANY ANCESTRY.COM TREES THAT JOHN JAMES HAD A MIDDLE NAME OF EDMUND. THAT IS INCORRECT!

John and Lucy evidently returned to Hanover County by 1786, when Foster was born. Mosby was also born in Hanover County, in 1787. As John and Lucy continued to travel west, their family continued to grow. In 1794 they had eight children and they had moved 110 miles SW to Campbell County, Virginia. A daughter, Susannah, was born here. The adventurous couple finally settled in an area we now call Ohio County, Kentucky in 1799, and only three years after it had become a state. No towns or settlements are shown on the “Kentucke” map of 1795, for none had yet been settled. The large area was known as Nelson County, Kentucky – Ohio and Butler Counties did not yet exist. Their 10th and last child, Mariah James, was born in 1802. John was then 49 years old. (It is possible that the boundary lines of the counties mentioned changed, as there were many boundary line changes. See http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~george/countyformations/virginiaformationmaps.html)

John James was in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1796 to assist his daughter in some transactions. In October 1799 he purchased 150 acres on Green River for 45 pounds. He purchased 117 acres on Pigeon Roost of Muddy Creek in Ohio County, Kentucky on Sept. 12, 1809 for $200. As of October 1, 1819 the 150 acres was deeded to Lucy (Mosby) James and her sister, Susanna Mosby for their lives, then to revert to heirs of John James. That deed was signed by the 10 children, except that husbands of the married daughters signed for them.

I can find no proof that Edmund James was married to Lucy Mosby, despite this family story above. Lucy was 18 when she married John James, so it would seem unlikely that she was married to Edmund before she married John. Edmund was 13 years younger than John and he married Susannah Sheppard in 1763, so if he had married Lucy first, he would have been less than 17 years old. Not impossible, but unlikely.

Edmond James and Susanna Sheppard 20 Dec 1788 marriage

John and Lucy (my fifth great grandparents) were “pioneers” in the purest sense of the word. John could easily have been acquainted with Daniel Boone; they lived in the same general area, and at the same time. There was only 16 years difference in their ages. John James lived in Kentucky for 20 years. He died in 1819. His grave marker can be found in the cemetery at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, Beaver Dam Kentucky, photo below. It reads:

JOHN JAMES

DEC. Sept. 26th 1819

Aged 69 years

“Long affliction have I born

Physicians were in vain

But Christ was pleased

To call me home

And rid me of my pain.”

My interest in my JAMES ancestors started when I first contacted a cousin of my grandmothers — Glenn Warren. He and his wife had been family family researchers for many years. Through JAMES family contacts that he provided, I received a hand-written “tree” that showed how the James family was related to the outlaw Jesse James and how we share an ancestor — Dr. John Woodson. That chart was drawn (or distributed by) Jesse Sibert James, who was the father of Thurston James, both now deceased. There is also an “upside down” family tree — a drawn outline of a tree with the earliest known ancestors of this family listed down to John James & wife Lucy Mosby (my 5th great grandparents) and lists some of their children and grandchildren.

I have blurred out the parts of the tree on the top two pages above that has now been proven to be incorrect because people were saving the page from this website and including it on Ancestry.com and using the information to populate their own tree incorrectly.

Jesse states on the pages that the authenticated material used to put together this “upside down” family tree, was obtained through the research efforts of two of our relatives, namely his son Dwayne James, and a distant cousin Dorothy James Turner. I have acquired a lot of documents and records on this JAMES family over the many years since I received those “charts.” Since no source documents were listed on the hand-drawn trees, I have documented the ancestors in my James line by doing research in Virginia, Kentucky, and Washington, D.C.

I contacted the National Society of the Claiborne Family Descendants and they have confirmed that Thomas Claiborne and Sarah Fenn did NOT have a daughter named Rebecca, and so that means that the “royal” lineage shown on the “tree” is incorrect. I have been unable to yet discover who the parents of Rebecca Claiborne are, or if for sure John Thompson did indeed marry a woman name Rebecca Claiborne.

NOTE: This James family is NOT related to the infamous Jesse & Frank James through the JAMES line. We are related to the outlaw Jesse James through the WOODSON FAMILY. The middle name of Jesse James was WOODSON. John Woodson, surgeon to the Jamestown Company, was Jesse’s 6th great grandfather. John Woodson is my 10th great grandfather. So Jesse is my 6th cousin, 4 times removed. Here is a good WOODSON website by a descendant that does a great job of giving the history of Jamestown… http://rootsandall.blogspot.com/2014/07/ancestor-spotlight-dr-john-woodson.html

Some information on this webpage was provided by Thurston James and also came from the research of other family researchers and gathered in a very comprehensive James Family Tree which was compiled by Mike Nelson.

It’s important to know that there were several JAMES family members who married cousins. Estil Perkins James married Lucy Ellen James, both descendants of William “Billy” Samuel James so they were 2nd cousins. And Estil’s grandparents were 1st cousins, both share grandparents — John James and Lucy Mosby.

Several Ancestry.com trees state that John James served in the Revolutionary War. I found two men with the name of John James who served. One of them is listed as having served in the Continental Troops in Virginia; however, that John James died in Pulaski County, Kentucky in 1833, so he could NOT be “our” John James who married Lucy Mosby because he died in 1819 in Ohio County, Kentucky.

The other John James served in Kentucky in 1793 in Hall’s Regiment, Cavalry, Volunteers in Kentucky. However, our John James had 10 children by that year and he still lived in Virginia, so it is unlikely that he served in the Revolutionary War in Kentucky.

I list below some of the descendants of John and Justina James. I only show eight generations to protect the privacy of living persons. So far, no family researcher has found documented proof that Christopher is the son of John and Justina Thurston. It seems that those records were destroyed in Richmond during the Civil War. Many cousins have shared their James ancestry with me and I am indebted to them. I’ve included those names.

There is an incorrect compiled genealogy in the book Selden and Kindred.

John James did not have a middle initial of E. nor the middle name of Edmund. This error occurred in the book Selden and Kindred of Virginia, pg. 106 where the compiler mixes up two brothers: Edmund James and John James. Also, none of the nine siblings of John had middle names, so it’s unlikely that John would have had one.

The book lists the following and my comments are in red:

John and Justina (Thurston) James had among their issue:

Major Thurston James (1715-1780), of New Kent Co., VA.
Christopher James, died 1779. He married Lucy Thompson.

They removed from James City Co. to Hanover County where they lived and raised a large family from whom there are numerous descendants. Issue:

Mary James, born 1747, married John Garland
John James, born 1749 (John was born in 1750), disinherited, moved west. (This is “our” John — he married Lucy Mosby (his 2^{nd wife}) and his first wife was Elizabeth Morris who died in childbirth.)
Foster James, born 1752, married Rebecca Clough
Elizabeth James, born 1754, married John Pendleton
Lucy James, born 1757, married Nathaniel Thompson
Thurston James, born 1759
Edmund James married first Susannah Sheppard; second Lucy Mosby (This is incorrect. Edmund only married once — to Susannah Sheppard on 20 Dec. 1788. Susannah was his only wife. Lucy Mosby ONLY married John James and he was her only husband – see child #2 above.)
George, twin of Edmund. They were born Jan. 15, 1763.
Frances James, born July 9, 1766; married Mr. Child.

THE ERROR THAT JOHN JAMES HAD THE MIDDLE NAME OF EDMUND HAS BEEN COPIED MANY TIMES INTO TREE ON ANCESTRY.COM.
