He died between 1850 and 1860.
His mother's name was Tabitha.
I think he was the James who was brother of Frederick and Jesse.
William of Surry Co NC probably had a daughter Tabitha, which suggests William was another brother of this James.
married in Wake Co NC
His children might include: Wooton, Edward, Archibald, Tabby who married in Wake Co NC 1816-07-30 Jesse Sykes
