James, married?: (unknown),

It's possible James was married previously before he married Emma and had his first two daughters. I am theorizing this due to the age differences between them and Emma and that there is a gap between them and the other children. Until I get more information I will list the first two here:

Issue: Wells

James, married 2nd: Emma Ann McKay, Their record continues here.
