John married Eliza E. Braithwaite before 1856. Eliza was born about 1838 in England, United Kingdom; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ancestry.com *suggests* that her maiden name might have been Braithwaite, linking her to West Yorkshire, England. This appears to be correct, as she is listed as Elija Braithwaite on the marriage license of her son, Edwin A. James.
