• Notes

  James enlisted in the Civil War three times. The third time, he joined Company G, of the 5th Michigan Infantry on 10 Apr 1862 in Detroit, Michigan. He was assigned to the Army of the Potomac and fought in the Siege of Yorktown, and the Battle of Williamsburg where he received a bayonet wound above the knee of his left leg. In the Battle of Five Oaks, he had three bullets shot through his clothing. He also fought in the Battle of Peach Orchard, Chantilly and the Battle of Malvern Hill and at Harrison's Landing. At one point, he suffered a heat stroke and was in the hospital for a time. He was discharged on 17 Nov 1862. He had a well-developed farm of 100 acres in Ingham County. Ref: "Lexington Mass.
