JAMES Family Genealogy
My interest in my JAMES ancestors started when I first contacted a cousin of my grandmothers — Glenn Warren. He and his wife were family researchers for many years. Through contacts that he provided, I received a hand-written descendant chart with many, many James family names listed, from Scottish and English Kings down to my James ancestors. That chart was drawn (or distributed by) Jesse Sibert James, who was the father of Thurston James, both now deceased. There is also an “upside down” family tree — a drawn outline of a tree with the earliest known ancestors of this family listed down to John James & wife Lucy Mosby (my 5th great grandparents) and lists some of their children and grandchildren. Jesse states on the pages that “the authenticated material used to put together this “upside down” family tree, was obtained through the research efforts of two of our relatives, namely his son Dwayne James, and a distant cousin Dorothy James Turner. I have acquired a lot of documents and papers on the JAMES family over the many years since I received those “charts.” Since no source documents were listed I am currently attempting to document the ancestors in my James line by doing research in Virginia, Kentucky, and Washington, D.C. I’ll be adding my source information to this website as time permits. I’ve also taken photos of James family tombstones and I’ll be adding those also.
Some information on this webpage was provided by Thurston James and also came from the research of other family researchers and gathered in a very comprehensive James Family Tree which was compiled by Mike Nelson.
Some history follows…
In 1712 John James was 24 years old. He met a 19 year old woman, Justina Thurston, and they were married. Almost immediately after the marriage, John and his bride made plans to move to the Colonies in the New World. The young couple were sailing directly to a township, then known as “Martin’s Hundred,” (now known as Carter’s Grove) in the Colony of Virginia. Justina was coming to claim her inheritance, a home that had been established by her parents, in the late 1600s. The property was comfortably situated along the James River and was known as the “Loveing Estate.” Justina’s estate in Martin’s Hundred, which is located on the James River, the site where our American history begins. The story of how they came to acquire this land is interesting.
Justina’s great grandmother, Elizabeth Beverly Kingston, had sailed to Martin’s Hundred on the James River from England in 1618 along with two hundred and twenty settlers to populate the settlement that would include a fort and the fledgling Wolstenholme Towne, which was part of Martin’s Hundred.
The Mayflower would not sail to America for two more years. Jamestown had been established eleven years earlier. And three years after my ancestors arrived in America, in 1622, the Martin’s Hundred settlement was ravaged by an Indian massacre. The Indians, who had until then maintained cordial relations with the encroaching English, staged a surprise attack on the James River settlements and massacred nearly 350 people. Elizabeth and her first husband, Thomas Kingston, survived.
According to the 1995 book Martin’s Hundred by Ivor Noel Hume, http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/martins/index.html ” the story of the archaeological breakthrough at Martin’s Hundred is a marvelous account of sleuthing, suspense, and feats of deduction. Noel Hume was a Williamsburg archaeologist and his team pieced together the cultural and social fabric of the settlement from the shards of pottery, hardware, and other fragile artifacts painstakingly unearthed with trowel and brush. From the graves, a story emerges of disease and violence, eloquent testimony to the desperate, tragic lives of these early arrivals in the New World – a skull split by a heavy blow and showing signs of scalping; skeletons without coffins (four in a grave), and evidence of epidemic.” According to Washington Post Book World “The story of his archaeological dig is one of the most significant in American Historical archaeology.”
After the massacre, Thomas Kingston served as Burgess for Martin’s Hundred Parish in 1629. After he died in 1636, Elizabeth married Thomas Loving (Loveing), who was also a landowner in Martin’s Hundred, owning at least 2,700 acres.
Elizabeth and Thomas Loving, my 9th great grandparents, had a daughter named Anne, who married Edward Thruston on October 28, 1666 in Martin’s Hundred. Anne and Edward had a son they named John Thruston, who was born in Martin’s Hundred on December 2, 1668. It would seem that Edward and Anne traveled to England shortly after John’s birth, because Edward died in England in 1670.
John Thruston (shown as Thruston and Thurston in various records) and his wife Elizabeth Cary Thruston married in England on September 23, 1690. They had a daughter named Justina Thurston, who was born in England on Aug. 26, 1691. She married John James, who was also born in England in 1688. As stated earlier, John and Justina married before 1712 in England. John and Justina then sailed to Virginia in 1713. Christopher James was born to them in 1720, also in Martin’s Hundred. Christopher married Lucy Thompson in 1746. They then had John James in 1750. John James married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Frances Morris and they married in 1774. Elizabeth died at the birth of their first child or very soon after. The daughter was named Elizabeth Morris James.
John married his second wife, Lucy Mosby, in about 1780. John and Lucy left James City County, Virginia soon after their marriage, and had several different homes in Virginia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_City_County,_Virginia
John and Lucy had ten children. The first was a son, William, born in 1780 in Hanover County, VA (my 4th great grandfather.) This is about 70 miles NW of where John was born in James County. Then, they moved another 80 miles west and were living in Buckingham County, Virginia in 1783. Their 3rd child, John James, Jr. was born there.
They evidently returned to Hanover County by 1786, when Foster was born. Mosby was also born in Hanover, in 1787. As John and Lucy continued to travel west, their family continued to grow. In 1794 they had eight children and they had moved 110 miles SW to Campbell County, Virginia. A daughter, Susannah, was born here. The adventurous couple finally settled in an area we now call Ohio County, Kentucky in 1799, and only three years after it had become a state. No towns or settlements are shown on the “Kentucke” map of 1795, for none had yet been settled. The large area was known as Nelson County, Kentucky – Ohio and Butler Counties did not yet exist. Their 10th and last child, Mariah James, was born in 1802. John was then 49 years old.
John and Lucy (my fifth great grandparents) were “pioneers” in the purest sense of the word. John could easily have been acquainted with Daniel Boone; they lived in the same general area, and at the same time. There was only 16 years difference in their ages. John James lived in Kentucky for 20 years. He died in 1819. His grave marker can be found in the cemetery at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, Beaver Dam Kentucky. It reads:
JOHN JAMES
DEC. Sept. 26th 1819
Aged 69 years
“Long affliction have I born
Physicians were in vain
But Christ was pleased
To call me home
And rid me of my pain.”
After much searching, I could find no published webpage that contained this particular James family history. In an attempt to help other James family researchers, I have published this information on this webpage.
I list below some of the descendants of John and Justina James. I only show eight generations to protect the privacy of living persons. So far, no family researcher has found documented proof that Christopher is the son of John and Justina Thurston. It seems that those records were destroyed in Richmond during the Civil War. Many cousins have shared their James ancestry with me and I’ve included those names.

Elaine,
Thank you for posting the James lineage. Have you come across any documentation that Christopher James (1720-1779) or John James (1750-1819) served in the Revolutionary War?
Thanks
Hi Karen,
Little is known about these James men because so many records were burned either during the Rev. War, mostly during the Civil War, or from courthouses that burned. James City County is considered a “burned” county.
In my research I have never seen any evidence or proof of any military service for John or Christopher.
Christopher was born in 1720 and died in 1779. Very little is known about him. Courthouse records of the period that might have provided clues to his life and precise lineage were destroyed during the Civil War, when Richmond was burned. Christopher married Lucy Thompson. Since he would have been age 55 at the start of the Rev. War, I doubt he was in the war. However, I did see a website some years ago that suggested that he was in the war as a Major. I’m sorry to say that website is now defunct and I did not copy the content of that website.
John James was born in 1750, the son of Lucy Thompson and Christopher James, and it says he was named after his grandfather, John James, who immigrated from England to the new world in 1713.
If you have any evidence of their service, I would love to know of it.
Thanks for contacting me.

Hi David,
Family Tree Maker program 2011 has a great feature where you can search by PLACES so I did a search. And yes, my ancestor John James and his wife Lucy Mosby did live in Buckingham County, VA for a short time betweem 1783-1786. They had their 3rd child John Jr. while living there. You can read more about the John James that lived in Buckingham on my website at http://www.theheritagelady.com/james-family-genealogy/
Is there any more information I can give you on this James family?
Regards,
Elaine
Hi Karen,
The website is my own personal website and the James family listed are my ancestors.
That’s great that you’ve tracked your family back to our shared ancestors John and Justina James. I only have one son for Samuel Mosby James and his wife Patsy Rogers, and that is Thurston James. I’m glad to hear there was another son that I’m finding out about. So yes, I’d like to have as much information as you are willing to share about your James family. I will never put any info on the web about living persons.
My line of descent from John James is below my signature.

Elaine,
Do you have documentation of death dates or headstone pictures for Samuel James (8 Apr 1790-16 Dec 1862) and his wife Sarah Sallie Mae Borah James (28 Sep 1796) buried Green River Cemetery, Ohio Cnty, KY? I have a copy of Samuel’s will but nothing for Sarah. I’ve put a memorial to them on Find A Grave but no one has picked up to take headstone photos.
Thanks!
Karen
Hi Karen,
I took some photos at the Green River Cemetery, but not many. I took more at Warren’s Mill Cemetery. There is an “old” section and a new section at Green River. I took photos in the old section, since most of my ancestors that lived there were there long ago. I have a photo of a tombstone for Sallie James. It is attached to this email. I’m not sure if it’s your Sallie or not. I took notes to write down dates and names in case the photos didn’t come out well, but can’t seem to find them right now. However, this stone is badly worn. Some of the older stones in that cemetery are in bad shape — broken and lying on the ground. I don’t have one for Samuel’s tombstone.
Have you contacted the church office to see if the cemetery has been recorded?
You can also try calling the Ohio County Genelogical Society P.O. Box 293 Hartford, KY 42347, Ruth Goodman 270-256-0267. They also sell some funeral home record books. I doubt that there would be any funeral home records going back as far as your Samuel James though.
Most of the info for names and dates on my JAMES website came from my cousin Glendon Warren. He lived in Ohio County, KY but died last year. He researched the Warren and James and related families for many years. I’m sure he had collected all the documents on your Samuel James. I have copies of his book but don’t have documents myself. I don’t know what happened to his documentation when he died. I do know another cousin that went to the area and took photos of every grave and got a lot of Glen’s documents. I will contact her and ask about your Samuel.
How are you related to Samuel? He was a brother of my ancestor William Samuel James.
I would like to have a copy of Samuel’s will if you would like to share it. You could send via email attachment.
They may not have had death certificates back as far as 1862, but not sure.
Statewide vital records registration was first enacted in 1852 for the state of Kentucky. Compliance was minimal and the legislation was only in place for ten years. Sporadic maintenance was also performed between 1872-1910. Mandatory registration was again enacted as of January 1, 1911 for births and deaths. Marriage records have been kept on a county basis since the formation of each county, with some pre-dating official formation. State registration was required beginning in 1958. An every name index to births and deaths after 1911 exists at the Office of Vital Statistics.
For birth and death records prior to 1911, write:
Public Records Division
Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives
300 Coffee Tree Road
P.O. Box 537
Frankfort, KY 40602-0537
To verify current fees, the telephone number is (502) 564-4212.
There is another cousin that stayed at Glen’s house for a couple weeks several years ago and took photos of a lot of the tombstones for related families. I will contact her and ask if she has anything on Samuel Mosby James.

Hi There Could you please tell me and details on who Sandford Craig James father or line was?
Thanks
Marina
Marina,
I would need MUCH more information for me to give you details. When and where was Sandford James born? Do you know his wife’s name? If you don’t know his wife’s name, brothers and sisters names would help.
Thanks,
Elaine Powell
Hi Elaine,
Thank you for this ..it’s wonderful. I’m still trying to figure it all out. I have both the James and Warren Histories. I’m not sure how we’re related but I know that my great great (?) grandparents are William Warren and Yettie Goodall.
My grandmother is Ollie Dee Warren.
Freya
Hi Freya,
I am glad to hear from you! It’s always good to hear from a newfound cousin.
If Ollie Dee Warren is your grandmother then William Volney Warren and his wife Yettie Goodall are your great grandparents, because they are the parents of Ollie. Ollie is one of 15 children! So you and I are 4th cousins.
William Volney’s grandparents Arthur Warren and wife Martha “Patsy” Arbuckle are my 3rd great grandparents.
What are your parent’s names? I would like to add their names to my family tree. You may email me in private at Elaine64@aol.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Elaine
