On 18 Apr. 1804, at the Mount Vernon town meeting, Solomon Leighton was asked to maintain his "half— brother James Leighton," and was voted a dollar a month for the expenses. On 6 Apr. 1807, Samuel Leighton was voted $12 for the keep of James the year past (TRs 2:115, 154). James disappeared from town records thereafter.
