!NOTES:Maiden name Martha James per D/C of daughter Martha and daughter Charity;
!NOTES:Probably a grandchild of Willis James, but I don't know who her father is, so I'll leave her as his child until it's figured out.
She is *not* named among the heirs of Willis James in his 1843 probate. However she is listed as an aunt to William H. G. James's sons in 1910, and William is a proven son of Willis.
