Looking for information on JAMES SPENCER JAMES.  Married FRANCES DAVIS in Orange Co. 8/1780.  They had at least one child:  Catlett James-b.1786, who married Elizabeth Thompson.

I have information that Catlett James and Elizabeth had these children: Bryant, Catherine, Phoebe, Mildred B., Frances, Elizabeth, Mary and Waddy T.

Is anyone else searching this line that could help me out with information on either of these related families? Thanks        Leslie
