About James A Sanders

James came to Washington County, Missouri from Kentucky with his parents, then on what became Crawford County. James & his brother, John, settled on adjacent land claims on the Huzzah. Though James came to the Huzzah when game was abundant, it is said he never killed a deer. A farmer by occupation, he was also active in area politics and was a staunch Democrat. For many years he was Justice of the Peace, was Postmaster of Osage (now Berryman) in 1837, and in 1858 was 1 of 3 court judges. During his years in Crawford County, James, through well applied efforts acquired 2000 acres of land and gave each of his children farms.
