Joan,
Thank you for your reply, it is hard for me to put these James together
with the
James family out of Loudoun Co. Va. I have at least a twenty year gap and
do not
believe the James from Loudoun Co. where Quakers. However, I am just
beginning
my research in Pa. so I could be wrong. I need to find more information
on the James
families from Pa.
Again Thank You
Sondra
