About James Wesley Pease

James Pease was a blacksmith and outlived his wife. He is found on the 1880 census living with David Pease, who is his younger brother and David's wife, Paitence at Geneva (now Plato Center), Kane County, Illinois. David is 77, James is 81, and Patience is 64. James and Phinas/Phineas may have been twin brothers, as they are born in the same year; in the 1850 census, James wife, Saloma, is enumerated in the household of Phinas, and he states she is his sister-in-law. He also states his birth year, as does James and it is always 1799.
