JOHN JAMES, page 527, from the Chapter on Monroe Township, Section titled
Incorporation, which is about the incorporation of the County Seat, Winamac,
Indiana, which occurred in 1868. The part discussing JOHN JAMES occurs
eight years later: "May, 1876 - Trustees, JOSEPH COLLINS, JAMES TOBY, SIMON
WEYAND, J. N. LITTLE and J. H. KELLEY; Clerk, S. PEARSON; Treasurer, H. E.
PATTISON; Marshall, JOHN JAMES;......."

LEWIS JAMES, page 599, from the Chapter on Tippecanoe Township, section
titled "Settlement".......In 1843, the following persons from Wayne County,
Ohio, settled in the Township: LEWIS JAMES, PETER YOUNG, JOHN YOUNG and
HENRY CUTT......."

LEWIS JAMES, page 600, from the Chapter on Tippecanoe Township, section
titled "Early Land Holders. - .....LEWIS JAMES, 160 acres in Section 14,
November 7, 1842;.........[NOTE I have a 1873 Plat of Tippecanoe Township,
there were no JAMES having property in Section 14; however, to the East in
Section thirteen, specifically, W1/2 of SW1/4 (80 acres) is listed as L.
JAMES, EST (L. JAMES Estate?).

DAVID JAMES, page 638, from the Chapter on Franklin Township, section titled
"First Settlement - ........In the fall of 1852, DAVID JAMES came from Ohio,
and purchased the northwest quarter of Section 30, and at once began the
improvement of his new home,........" NOTE I am not sure the author was
correct on this entry, when the book was written in 1883, further
investigation is needed, and here are my reasons 1. Early elections in
Franklin Township do not list a DAVID JAMES, but do list a DAVID JONES. 2.
Looking at a 1873 Plat of Franklin Township, shows that the NW1/4 of Section
30 was deeded to a David Jones.
