John Munro

Notes:

**********
The following is from the E.W. Wait reference via the Beckett file.

"John Munroe, second child of Thomas and Mary, was born in Bristol on May 14, 1701. We know quite a bit about him and he appears to have been a good, substantial ancestor. he left a will and from this we get some idea of his property and we learn the married names of his daughters.

"John married Hannah Rosbotham on April 29, 1728 in St. Michael's Church, Bristol. (This church was burned in May 1778 by British soldiers on a pillaging expedition from the island of Rhode Island.) They had a large family, their first eleven children being born in Bristol, their last two in Rehoboth, to which town they moved between December 1748 and October 1750. A deed dated February 20, 1750 shows that John bought sixty-three acres of land in Rehoboth from Jeremiah Allen for '1180 pounds of ye old tenor.'

"John Munroe's will is dated April 2, 1789 - he is 'of Rehoboth' and he calls himself 'yeoman.' He appoints his youngest son, Joseph, executor. To his wife Hannah he leaves all his household furniture, half of his dwelling -house, a quarter of an acre of land for a garden west of the house; also a cow and a swine, 'both to be kept for her winter and summer;' also 12 bushels of Indian corn yearly, 4 bushels of rye, 8 pounds of good sheep's wool, two pounds of flax, 50 pounds of beef, and 8 cords of firewood, 'brought to the door and cut fit for the fire.'

"John's will also leaves to daughter Comfort Bowen 27 pounds; to son Nathan 8 shillings; to son Stephen 30 pounds; to son Rosbotham 3 pouunds; to son Benjamin 15 pounds; to son John 45 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Elizabeth Carpenter 15 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Mary Fuller 15 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Alice Horton 15 pounds; to son Thomas 18 pounds; to daughter Hannah 30 pounds; and to granddaughter Patience Short 'for the love I bare to her and Services She as Done for me' 3 pounds. Son Joseph is to have all the estate, both real and personal, not otherwise disposed of. John died on April 18, 1793 and his will was probated the following 6th of August.

"In the first United States Census, taken in 1790, we find John Munroe of Rehoboth with a household consisting of one male of sixteen (himself) and two females - his wife Hannah and probably his daughter Hannah, as she was unmarried when he made his will in 1789 and was very likely still living at home.

"John Munroe appears in the tax lists for the years 1759, 1765 and 1769 as printed in Richard LeBaron Bowen's splendid work EARLY REHOBOTH. In 1759 he was taxed 12 pounds on his real estate and 6 pounds, 9 shillings on his personal estate. That he was a prosperous farmer is shown by the fact that in 1765 his tax jumped to 30 pounds on real and 13 pounds, 1 shilling on personal property; it was practically the same in 1769.

"John was sixty-three years old when he made the acquaintance of young Hector Munro. In February 1764, Hector, accompanied by a relative named Donald, turned up in Rehoboth and wrote a letter to a cousin back home in the Concord-Lexington area. He stated that he and Donald had been unable to find work in Boston, so had started for New York.

"'We marched from Boston,' wrote Hector, 'that very same day and came to Providence and as I was very curios inquiring after my Relations and Kinsmen, I was informed that there was Great Many of them in Rehoboth & Bristol within six mile of Providence & that same hour we marched of in order to find them out which we did that same night with one Nathan Munroe as stately a man as ever you seied of the name and he keepted us with him Two days and the Third he convoyed us to his father's house a good stately old man that hath great deal of Regard for his relations and he keepted us four days and the fift he and Nathan his son went along with us to convoy us in order to show us the rest of our relations down at Bristol and the very first house we came to was Doctor Munro, Captain Thomas Munro's son at Concord.' (Doctor Munro was born in Concord in 1731, a grandson of the first William Murnoe of Lexington; but had moved from there to Bristol before 1762.)

"It was providential for us that Boston had offered no employment to Hector, for otherwise he might never have gotten to Rehoboth and written the letter which adds proof of the relationship between the Bristol and Lexington Munroe families. (Incidentally, Hector went no further to seek his fortune; he married a Rehoboth girl and had several children born in Rehoboth and in 1776 he made his will because he was going into the Army.)"
**********

Ref 3, p. 26 says John first married Ruth Bowen [9683]. Since this marriage is almost never mentioned in the many references available for John, there is some doubt about its authenticity. Other references (i.e. Rockwell) say that Ruth was the second wife of John [29187].

The Stotler reference says that John sailed on the sloop "Providence" with John Paul Jones.

John and his family moved from Bristol, Rhode Island to Rehoboth between Dec 1748 and Oct 1750. There he bought 63 acres (ref 1) of land from Jeremiah Allen for 1180 pounds. Ref 2 says it was 69 and a half acres and that it may have been part of the land left to Hannah's mother. This land was in Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts until an 1812 boundary change set it in the rural town of Seekonk. It was situated a short distance west of the Rehoboth/Seekonk boundary, south of Winthrop Street (later Highway 44) and southeast of the intersection of Lake and Lincoln Streets. The family built a house to live in and some out buildings on the property. The farm produced grain and supported cattle, pigs and sheep.

John was a charitable and hospitable man, a patriarch who valued family connections. A letter dated Feb 1764 gives an account written by Hector Munro, a young soldier, a descendant of William Munro of Lexington, who had been recently discharged from the King's Army after fighting in the French War for King James. Hector tells of his travels to seek work in New York and Boston and to locate his "kinsmen" in Rehoboth and Bristol. During this time Hector met John, who was then almost 63. Hector was delighted by the elder Munro and described him as "a good stately old man and a man that hath a great deal of regard for his relations."

His will, in which he calls himself "yeoman," is dated 2 Apr 1789 (Beckett says 2 Apr 1781), and contains a wealth of genealogical information. He left the family farm to his son, Joseph, with the stipulation that Joseph care for his mother in the family home for the rest of her years.

He was buried in the family cemetery on the farm. His grave stone reads: "The Sweet Remembrance of the Just/Shall Flurish when they sleep in Dust."

Notes:

Nathan married Hannah Allen on 21 Nov 1751 and on 3 Dec of the same year, he became the guardian of Hannah's siblings, Phillip, Solomon, Zachariah, Charles, and Jemimah Allen, all under 14 years old.

On 4 Feb 1754, he was made administrator of the estate of Hopestill Allen, widow of Benjamin Allen of Rehoboth. At that time, he also became the guardian of his wife, Hannah, who was still a minor over 14 years old, and Hopestill's granddaughter. On 1 Apr 1760, he became the guardian of Jonah Humphrey's children including Sarah, Mary, Jonah, William, and Silence. Jonah Humphrey was from Swansea.

He served in the Americal Revolutionary War from Rehoboth for 7 days on the alarm of 19 Apr 1775. He served as a Sergeant with Captain John Lyons or Captain Jesse Persin's Company. On 13 Mar 1777, he was appointed by the Council of War to command a flotilla of boats in an expedition against the British. At that time, he was given the rank of major.

His name appears on a list of officers and men belonging to the sloop "Providence," commanded by Captain John Paul Jones, who were entitled to prize shares in the ship "Alexandria," captured 20 Sep 1777. His name also appears on a list of men raised for six months service and returned by Brig. Gen. Paterson, as having past muster on a return to Camp Totoway on 25

Nathan left a will dated 3 Jan 1806.

Notes:

The Beckett reference says that Benjamin married (2) Rahamnah and together they had five more children that are not shown here, but it is more likely that Rahamnah was actually the wife of Benjamin's son, Benjamin.

Ref. (4) says Benjamin married Bethamy Luther, but it is more probable that Bethamy was the wife of Benjamin's son, Benjamin. Bethamy may be the same person as Rahamnah. Page 56 of ref. (4) also attributes several children to Benjamin who were probably children of Benjamin's son, Benjamin.

Ref. (5) says Benjamin was born 5 Feb 1735.

Family/Spouse: Margaret Carpenter. Margaret was born about 1742; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Munro reference says John was born in "Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA/RI".

The name of John's wife may have been Bethany Cornell. One reference says they married on 20 Jun 1782, and he may have had an earlier marriage. Parthenia was the daughter of Gideon and Hepzibah (Lewis) Cornell.

John served in the Revolutionary War from Rehoboth, Massachusetts 1 May 1778 to 1 Jan 1779 in Captain Jacob Fuller's Company, Colonel John Jacob's Regiment in Rhode Island.

He moved to Plainfield, Connecticut where he was a member of the Legislature. He became a Quaker after the war.

At his death, his estate was worth $417.55 but he may have given away much to his children before that. His wife's will was proved in 1835. She left $1 each to her sons Job and Cornell, $130 to Samuel and the rest to her daughters.

Notes:

The Munro reference says she married Thomas Chafee in 1781. This may be an error because Hannah has a niece named Hannah, the daughter of her brother, Nathan, who is said to have married Thomas Chaffe in Dec 1780. These two Hannahs may have been confused.

Family/Spouse: Joseph. Joseph was born about 1751; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There is a controversy over whether Hannah married Thomas Chaffe or Thomas Chase. The uncertainty arises because of the similarity between the old way of writing "s" and "f". Thomas Chafee was Hannah's brother-in-law since her sister, Sarah married Amos Chaffe, Thomas's brother.

Even the marriage date is disputed. The marriage to Thomas Chaffe is said to be 7 Dec 1780 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts; and the marriage to Thomas Chase is said to be 8 Feb 1781.

The Munro reference gives Hannah's birthdate as 8 Nov 1776.

Hannah married Thomas Chaffe, Jr. on 7 Dec 1780 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, USA. Thomas was born on 9 Mar 1753; died on 26 Nov 1788. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

One reference spells her name Munroe.

An interesting note about her husband, Amos, is that though he was born on 11 Dec 1750, he was baptised on 17 Mar 1750! This is not an error, but an excellent illustration of the fact that until 1752, New Year's Day was March 25.

Sometime before 1783, Amos changed the spelling of his name to Chafee. He lived in Rehoboth, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island.

Amos' brother was Thomas Chaffee [4281].

**********
(The following is from an e-mail sent by Mark Munro - 26 Feb 2013)

«i»I am fairly certain that Squire was not a title but a name. I think the best evidence for this is that his birth is recorded in a family bible as "Squire" - or something close to that and I don't think he would have had a title as a baby. See Munro Eagle #16 Winter 1985-1986 page 21. Although this lists him as "Square" - a typo that would plague his mentions in newspapers later in life - I believe that is a typo or mistranslation from sloppy handwriting. I have hoped to locate the original bible for inspection but have yet to do so. While this bible is said to have been purchased by Nathan Munro in 1784 - when Squire would have been 26 - giving at least a chance he may have and the title at that time, it still seems unlikely to me that his father would have listed his title but not name in the family bible. Just a thought.«/i»
**********


The following is from the Sikes reference:

Squier hired 50 acres of land in New Framingham, where he brought his family in 1779. On his way, he , with his goods, through some accident, was thrown into the Connecticut River. Narrowly escaping with his life, he sacrificed some of his goods, and all ofhis money, ten dollars in silver, so that he was forced to accept charity until he could locate himself and commence a course of labor that would bring him remuneration. Here he learned a lesson that was never forgotten. Whenever the poor applied to him for aid, after God had blessed him with the wealth of this world, they were never turned away empty.

It so happened that when the country began to grow, and lands in Central New York were offered for sale, a neighbor of (John) Deacon Munro's caught the western fever, sold his little farm half way up the mountainside, and moved to Elbridge, N.Y. Feber and ague lurked behind every tree; the weevil destroyed the first crops, and the rains drowned out the second. The family grew very sick of their bargain, and pined for the healthy mountain breezes and pure spring water that bubbled up in the crude trough by the door of the little red farmhouse they had left behind. So, returning in the fall for a visit, they took tea one day with neighbor Munro, the bent of the conversation tunring upon the mistake the farmer had made in going west. He was full of regrets and complaints and wished that he had never made so unwise a move, when (John) Deacon Munro exclaimed, "Well, well, neighbor, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take your western farm off your hands without seeing it, and you may take mine; even swap all around." The visitor looked at him in surprise, saw that he was in earnest and seized the proffered hand and said, "Yes, yes, of course I will." Squire said, "Wife, you and the children pack up," and without further ado, Squire and Mary and four sons, John, David, Nathan and Phillip were off for their new home of 300 acres which Aschel Buck had acquired from the Indians for twenty-five cents an acre. The first white settlement was made there in 1791 by Captain Lindsay. He built his house by a clear running stream. He was a surveyor and he began laying out roads on which he collected tolls.

Squier opened a general store and a hotel and saloon. In 1806 he was asked to build eleven miles of the new turnpike road running through the towns of Elbridge and Camillus, finishing in 1808. In 1807 he represented Onondaga County in the Assembly of the State, and for several years was one of the judges of the county court at Onondaga Hill. With Scottish thrift he continually added to his estate. In 1825 he was assessed for 819 acres valued at $11,300, and personal property at $4000, taxed at $84.06. He built the first grist mill in Elbridge. In 1813 the Baptists formed a Church Society at the school house near Squire Munro's and his son John Munro put up a new church building in Elbridge costing $14,000. In 1826, Squier purchased slip No. 14 in the Baptist Church in the village of Auburn, taking a formal deed executed by the trustees and signed by order Elias Laxell, Secretary. The Baptist Church was then located at the junction of Exchange and South Streets, now Richardson Square.

The descendents of Squier became so numerous that Munro reunions held in Elbridge became large afairs, attended by 300 or more Munros. Squier expanded his farm holdings to 2700 acres.

Squier died in 1835 and with Mary Daggett, is buried in Elbridge cemetary. In his third and last will, he provided that the three daughters and three sons, Betsy, Hannah, Polly, David, Nathan and Phillip had, at their marriages, received farm homes of two to three hundred acres. They were each given two seats in the Baptist meeting house in Elbridge. To his wife, he gave the use of the home, farm, and other property during her lifetime, in case she did not contract matrimony. To John, the eldest son, he gave the entire residue, and remainder of every name, or nature, consisting of about 1400 acres of land with the livestock, and other personal property therein; mortgages, bonds, notes, book accounts, etc.

****************************************************

Ref (2) says that the name Squier or Squire was not a title, but that it was derived from ancestors on his mother's side of the family. In Ref (3) Prof. Yard speculates that Squire was a title and not a given name. Yard believes that Squier Munro is the same person as Joseph Munro, Esq. [10056]. Ref (6) also says that his name was not a title.

Ref (5) says Squier and Mary were married 1 May 1779 and that Squier died in 1836. Squier served as a soldier in the American Revolutionary War and was granted land in Elbridge, New York. He moved his family there from Cheshire, Massachusetts, and built a mill there. He usually spelled his name "Munro", but he signed his will "Manro".

He was successful in business and a leading figure in the church and the affairs of the town and county.

Ref (7) calls him Deacon Squier Munro and says that he died 31 May 1835, but notes that his tombstone says 31 Mar 1835. Ref (7) also says that Squier and Mary were married 16 May 1779.

Notes:

The following is from the Sikes reference:

"Phillip came with his father and family to Elbridge, N.Y. in 1799, locating on lot 81. After marrying Sibel, he settled in Cayuga County on a farm about twelve miles west of the Elbridge home, in the town of Throop, about three miles north of Auburn, living on the same farm until his death, aged 74.

Phillip's farm was located on the Turnpike about two miles west of the crossroads and the Baptist Church, on the north side of the road. On the map of 1875 of Throop, the residence is located under the name of his widow, S. Manro, across the road from the school. It appears he had accumulated over 1000 acres in several farms in this area and in Aurelius. He started with 150 acres purchased in 1820 from Squier in lot 15, Aurelius district, for $3500.

The village, known first as Jefferson, then Mentz, then Throopsville, was larger in 1800 than Auburn, and a main stopping point for covered wagons moving from Albany to Buffalo and on west, traveling down Turnpike road. At the crossroads was a hotel and tavern, with stable for ox teams behind. Across the road was a general store, a cheese factory, two flour and gristmills, a wine press, a scythe shop (as all hay was cut by hand), a machine shop, carpetner shop, post office and the Baptist Church, founded in 1803. As late as 1880, Baptists at Throop were immersed in the Owasco River. In winter a hole was cut in the ice. After steam threshing machines were invented, a thresher motor was parked outside the church throughout the winter to warm the baptismal font in the floor near the altar. The two front windows were named for Phillip A. Manro and Thos. Jefferson Manro. There were two services each Sunday and families arriving by cutter and sled, with hot stones under blankets to warm them, brought lunches and stayed for both sermons.

Phillip was of a genial disposition and made much of his grandchildren, whom he would greet by placing his hand on their heads with the blessing, "noble boy," or "noble girl." His wife, Sibel, was of soft speech and of personal poise. One of her sayings was, "Very little talk makes very little trouble." Her recipe for longlife and health was a glass of water from the west well before breakfast every morning, and her grandson, Squire Codner, recalls being the carrier for many years. She was interested in the daily news, and during the last years of her life, continued her habit of reading the daily paper without the aid of spectacles.

While Phillip had a goodly share of Scottish thrift, he loaned much to the Lord in gifts to the poor in the vicinity. On the occasion of a man's asking for a coat, Sibel said there were but two and both were needed. Phillip said if there were two, one should be given. There was always a very bountiful supply on the table. A visit brought joy to hearts and stomachs.

In 1830, Elder Jeffries, the pastor of the Throops Baptist Church, and 39 members were dismissed to organize the second Baptist Church in Mentz (now Port Byron). The Throop church was greatly weakened by this division, so that they felt scarcely able to support a pastor. Phillip Manro told Elder Noah Barrell that if he would locate with the church in Throop, he would guarantee him shelter and food so long as he himself had them. He came to the church in 1830 and 48 persons were added by Baptism and letter during the four years of his pastorate. In 1839, he was called to the pastorate again and 92 were added to the church in the three ensuing years. Upon the death of Phillip in 1870, it was found that he had provided by his will an annuity for the maintenance of the pastor of the church so long as it continued as at present organized. In 1931, this annuity had been paid regularly for 60 years and the sum set aside was still intact. For years, Phillip acted as sexton of the church. Directly after breakfast on Sunday mornings his custom was to walk to the church, removing all stones from the roadway as he progressed. The wood-burning stoves were built through the partition between the vestibule and the audience room so that the wood could be fed to the stove from the vestibule and the greater part of the heat radiated in the audience room.

Two days before the wedding of Mary Manro to Stephen B. Harlowe, Phillip, at the breakfast table, told Mary that she might go with him to Auburn that day to buy the wedding dress. The garment was truly new and fresh for the ceremony. As his children married, they were given farms near the homestead, Jonathan, the "Fish" farm in Aurelius, and Thos. Jefferson the "Rice" farm on Donavan Road, each of 180 acres. Mary and Betsy Louise (Atwater) each received about 50 acres, Mary's portion adjoining the Harlow farm. Cynthia H. (Benham) first lived near the Benham farm and later at a place adjoining the Fish farm.

In his will, after providing an annuity for his widow and the church, Phillip divided the estate equally among the five sons and daughters; "all honors to ancestors who, whether educated in high schools or low schools, if there be any low schools, have obtained trained hands and disciplined minds, and have in the main practised justice, mercy and humility."

Sibel Roberts, daughter of Harvey Roberts of Danbury, Conn. was a widow of William Davis of Camillus, whose will was dated September 18, 1830. Since all of Phillip's children except Cynthia were born before 1830 it is believed that Phillip was married to someone whose name is not known, and only Cynthia was born to Phillip and Sibel, however other references attribute some of Phillip's other children to Sibel."

In the 1870 census, the value of Thomas' estate was estimated at $300. In 1875, he was living at 59 Lester Street (Ward 6 or 8). In 1885, he was living at 69 South Street.

He was a business head in the company of "Munroe and Legg" located at 17 Dyer Stree, Providence, Rhode Island, during the middle and late 1800's, a teaming business. His partner, George O. Legg, lived at 130 Lester Street. His wife, Louisa Legg was the sister of his business partner.

**********
The following is an obituary of Thomas Munroe which appeared in a local paper:

"Thomas J. Munroe died Monday morning at the home of his son-in-law, Orin S. Mowry, 64 Bridgham street, aged 92 years, two months and six days.

He was the last of a long-lived line dating back to an ancestry of Scotch barons, and in this country, to forbears who served the nation in many walks of life.

Mr. Munroe was born in Rehoboth, grew up there and learned the trade of a stone mason. He worked at his trade in a number of places, helping to build among other things the forts in Boston Harbor and the old Tockwotton Hotel on Tockwotton Street in this city. Sixty years ago he entered the teaming busi- ness with a partner under the firm name of Munroe & Legg, and for 10 years of the time he was connected with this business he served as night watchman of the Bank of North America. He retired from business 12 years ago.

He was married about 1831 to Louise Legg, a sister of George Legg, and his (..unreadable..) children were born to them of whom six survive. There are also 11 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Mr. Munroe was a member of Eagle Lodge I.O.O.F., which he joined in 1842, and of Moshassuck Encampment I.O.O.F. He was for some time connected with Hand Engine No. 2 in the days of the volunteer fire department in this city. He was a member of Trinity Methodist Church. Old age and pleurisy united to put an end to his long life.

The genealogy of the Munroe family dates back through a line of Scotch barons to the 11th century. Among the more immediate ancestors were Richard Warren, who came to this country in the Mayflower, and Col. Benjamin Church, the hero of King Phillip's War. Mr. Munroe's father served in the Revolutionary War. The family is noted for longevity, many having passed the 90 mark."
**********

The 1885 census of Providence, Rhode Island is a bit confusing. It shows a Thomas J. Munroe age 72 and wife Julia A. age 60 living with son George W. age 24 and daughter Mary E. age 26. These names don't match up with information from other sources. It appears to be the right Thomas Munroe, but with different family members. I've entered Julia as a second wife of Thomas and the mother of the two children.

Notes:

James was a man of thought and a man of action. A scholar and teacher, legislator and ambassador, he spent his life serving the abolitionist cause, his country, and Oberlin College.

James was well-educated in both public and private schools and began teaching in the public schools at the age of fourteen.

In 1841, after attending a meeting of the Connecticut State Anti-Slavery Society he became convinced to postpone his plans for college and begin giving lectures for the Society. During the next two to three years, he delivered several hundred addresses on the lecture circuit. His antislavery efforts provided him with frequent contact with the most prominent eastern abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles Burleigh, Alvan Stewart, William Godell, and Frederick Douglass. In his autobiography, Douglass recalled that James was one of the few white abolitionists who also worked against Northern racism.

In 1844, James left the lecture circuit because of poor health and entered Oberlin College. He served there as an assistant teacher and tutor between 1845 and 1848. He earned his A.B. degree in 1846 and his theology degree in 1849. At the 1846 Commencement, James delivered an address entitled "Moral Heroism". His speech, a defense of abolitionists, prompted the "Cleveland Herald" to write that the young graduate was destined to "leave the impress of his own mind and genius upon the age."

In 1849, he became pastor of a Congregational Church in Sandusky, Ohio, but after six months in Sandusky, he was offered the position of professor of Rehetoric and Belles Lettres at Oberlin, which he quickly accepted. At Oberlin, he was also engaged in fund-raising for the college.

His political views evolved over the years and he finally made a break with his Garrisonian past and became an advocate of the Liberty party. He gradually embraced the Free-Soil ideology and accepted the more moderate goal of containment of slavery rather than outright abolition. In 1852, he endorsed the Free-Soil ticket before joining the ranks of the newly created Republican party.

In 1851 and 1853, James was approached by the Free-Soil party to run for the state legislature. He declined both times, but did accept the Republican nomination in 1855 and won easily winning close to 90% of the popular vote. He retained his professorship since the legislature met only briefly at the start of each year when classes were not in session. In 1859, he was elected to the Ohio Senate, and served as president pro-tempore in 1861 and 1862. During his seven years in the state legislature, James developed an impressive record of reform legislation including protection for escaped slaves and school system reform. His advocacy of black suffrage raised the ire of women suffragists in Oberlin who were disgusted that he was willing to strike "white" and not "male" from qualifications to vote.

During the 1850's, James took a more active role in the abolition of slavery. In Dec 1859, he went to Virginia in an effort to recover the body of John Copeland, the black Oberlin resident who was executed for his part in John Brown's failed raid on Harper's Ferry. He was persuaded to make this attempt by Copeland's father, who was prevented from going because Virginia law forbade the admission of free blacks. John received a hostile reaction in Virginia and was forced to return to Oberlin without the body which was never recovered.

James campaigned hard for Lincoln in 1860, delivering more than thirty speeches. The Republicans won a huge victory in Oberlin and a majority in Ohio. James was reelected to the state legislature in 1861.

The sudden death of James' wife, Elizabeth, in 1862 cast him into a state of depression. Seeking a change of scenery, he sought and secured the consulship to Rio de Janeiro. In that position during the Civil War, he provided for the crews of captured ships which were put ashore in Brazil, and gathered information about Confederate cruisers which prowled the South Atlantic preying on shipping. This information aided the Department of State in pressing claims for damage in the final adjustment with Great Britain.

At the conclusion of the Civil War, James was offered the presidency of Oberlin College, but he declined and remained as Consul in Rio where he helped provide for destitute American emigres, many of whom left the South in search of new opportunities. After briefly serving as Charge d'Affaires ad interim, James resigned his post and returned to New York on 25 Sep 1869.

Upon returning to Oberlin, he resumed his political career and in Oct 1870, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 19th Ohio district. He served for ten years from 4 Mar 1871 to 4 Mar 1881 when he declined renomination. During that time he served on the Banking and Currency Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Appropriations Committee and was chairman of the Committee on Education and Labor. He was a solid backer of Republican policies and a defender of human rights and national economic stability.

James was a long-time friend of President James A. Garfield and was about to be appointed to a post in the diplomatic service when Garfield was assasinated in 1881. An offer of the presidency at Ohio State University likewise failed to materialize. In the fall of 1883, James accepted a newly endowed chair in Political Science and International Law and resumed his teaching career offering courses in political economy and modern history.

He continued teaching until 1896 when, at the age of 75, he retired. He was still in demand performing community service and delivering speeches. In 1897, he published a volume of his speeches and addresses in the book "Oberlin Thursday Lectures, Addresses and Essays". He also managed to continue leading a large adult Bible class in the First Congregational Church.

He died at his home in Oberlin on 7 Jun 1898. The city mourned the loss of one of its most famous citizens by closing businesses and lowering flags to half mast.

James' first wife was the daughter of Louisa Maxwell. His second wife was the daughter of Charles Grandison Finney, second president of Oberlin College, and his wife Lydia Root Andrews.
