| Notes |
- James was educated at Merchant Tailors' School from 1764 to 1767, when he entered the Mercantile Service of the H.E.I.C.S., on board the "Houghton" East Indiaman, of which his maternal uncle, William Smith, was owner and commander. He purchased the "Houghton" from his uncle in 1782 for 4500 pounds and commanded it from that year until 1792, when he sold it for 7400 pounds.
After completing ten voyages to Calcutta and other parts of India between 1767 and 1791, he relinquished the sea.
On 19 Mar 1790, he acquired the freehold of the house and estate of Hadley, and when he returned from his last voyage, he took up his residence there early in 1791. In 1794, he moved to Enflied Chase, where he remained until 1802. He then returned to Hadley, where he died. He was buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, where his son, Cecil erected a handsome monument to his memory.
Ref (1) says James and his first wife had no children (p. 440) but on page 444, it lists 7 children.
