About Robert James

1855 - as per his father's Will, Robert received one Negro woman named Eliza.

1889 Net Proceeds - Heirship Records -provided by Sandra Ryley (page 4) 3. Robert James dead his wife dead left children names are as follows, a. Jincy b. Calvin c. Melviny

Is this a coincidence or what? I am presuming that Jane Jones in the census below is Jency James Jones the one who married Impson Jones. She would be a widow in this record since Impson Jones died 2/15/1885. She is living right next to Henry James a known son of Benjamin and Mary James. Well, Benjamin James has a known son also by the name of Robert James. I understand that Jency James Jones was the daughter of Robert and Christina James. Has anyone ever seen this connection before?

Also, since Reason Jones married Rhoda James it is totally believable that Impson Jones (maybe brother of Reason Jones) married a James also.
