In 1900, James wrote an eighty page book called, "A Sketch of the Munro Clan", also of William Munro who, deported from Scotland, settled in Lexington, Massachusetts, and some of his posterity. He also assisted Alexander Mackenzie in Mr. Mackenzie's book, "History of the Munros of Fowlis": his assistance to Mackenzie's book was supplying him with information about the Lexington, Massachusetts Munroes. Mackenzie's book deals in the most part with the Munros of Scotland.

In the preface of James Phinney's "Sketch of the Munro Clan," he says, "Learning that this (Mackenzie's) History of the Munros was in preparation, I entered into correspondence with Mr. Mackenzie, and was so far fortunate as to induce him to include in his genealogy as many of the American branches of the Munro Clan as the limited time before publication would permit us to follow up." Mackenzie's book was published in 1898 at Inverness, Scotland.
