He definitely did not die in 1745, that was the other James. I have been trying to figure out a way to identify the maiden names for his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter in law, Eleanor, in the hope it could give some clues...but not getting very far with that. Also since he was a cordwainer he must have apprenticed with someone to learn those skills...I did identify a cordwainer in Dover NH who would have preceded him thinking he might have had a daughter Elizabeth...but that didn't go anywhere. Also pursued the idea that the tanner he sold his property to in 1746 might have had a daughter, no luck there either....so the search goes on. Any ideas?
