Book 11, 367 Jan 3, 1825 JOHN of Thetford has deeded to him by heirs of James part of the land on which James lived -- Elizabeth [Betty Carswell, widow of James Sr.?], Esther, James [Jr.?], Dolly Shepherd, SALLY WALLACE and Mary Godfrey -- for $5 [to each of them?] witnesses Samuel Niles & Mary Godfrey

Birth date unknown, but his penion papers filed by his widow, shows he entered the service in 1777, to be about 18 years of age, this date is given.

James Sr. died in 1821, his spouse and son James moved to Waterbury, VT. The above deed apparently is part of the estate settling land to John of Thetford, who by later deed appears to be a brother to James Jr., and son of James Sr. Children placed in order as seen in deed with the exception of John.
