“ Do u think george is actually the son of Samuel w james born 1827ish and Martha Ann O'bryant 1830 Or George William James and Gemima Brazil? ”

I am not familiar with this family at all, so input requested.

I don't know that everything is correct on it, I just look for sources.

Kyle Dean Perkey, I think that George William James is a different person from George Washington James. They are over 50 years apart and not near each other in geography.

George Washington James is my 21st cousin five times removed.
Elijah James is my 21st cousin four times removed.

Kyle Dean Perkey, ok. I was trying to answer the original question - Who are the parents of George Washington James? I think it is pretty clear that Elijah and Jane are the parents based on census data.

I am not sure I follow what you are asking about George Williams James. They may or may not be related and anything before 1850 is going to require more than census data to confirm. Maybe a will or something.
