................................
James was my grand uncle. His mother's maiden name was not Crosthwaite, but rather, Nixon. Crosthwaite was her second married name. His middle name was Nixon, not "N.".
His father's place of birth, per census records was Ireland,
not Pennsylvania as listed here. All items in (parenthesis)
are my notes. (?) indicates best guess for illegible handwritting.
To my knowledge, James had no children. I have found absolutely no record for any.
Marjorie is listed on all Census records I have viewed, and therefore, to my knowledge, was his first and only wife. It
appears she did not recall James' father's given name.
