Vita

 * Born: Friday, January 3, 1795, Ireland. Death certificate indicates that he was 98 yrs 5 months 10 days at death. This works out to a DOB of Friday, January 3, 1783.  The age based on the death certificate is reasonably consistent with his age in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census records for Washington Co VT, (75, 85. 96, respectively), but highly inconsistent with his ages in the 1840 and 1850 census (c45, and 55). This looks very much like "age creep" and that at death, James was being presented as ten years older than he actually was. It seems likely that the year of his birth was actually c1795, but that the day and month of birth is accurately reflected in the death certificate.
 * Married: c1832 to Katherine McNulty (1802-1894) in Ireland. Based on YOB of eldest daughter Maria born in Ireland in 1833.
 * Died:   13 June 1881, Waterbury VT, Death Certificate.
 * Burial:
