James stated in a short biography that he inherited his father’s land when he was 12 years old but had to wait until he was 21 to sell it…1838-1839. Then he and his sister, Mary, immigrated to America. Once in America he bought 160 acres of land on a miner’s reserve (lead mine) in the Galena area. Since the land was worth $5000 USD at that time, he must have had money to buy land, giving credence to his claim of selling his father’s land, probably to a brother or uncle.
