• Notes

  s/o Francis JAMES (1561 - 1613) & Margaret WARNER ----- Philip was probably the brother of Francis James. He was born about 1600-1605 in or near Hingham, Norfolk and died soon after arriving in MA. His widow Jane married George Russell on 14 Feb 1639/40, and she died 22 Feb 1688/89 in Hingham "age about 83 years" (Russell genealogist George Ely Russell gives her maiden name as Davenport though I'm not sure of the original source). Diligent passengers William Pitts and Edward Mitchell came as servants of Philip and Jane. The four children of Philip and Jane were: 1. Anne b. abt. 1629; d. prob. bef. 1689. She married John Turner, Jr., s/o Humphrey and Lydia (Gamer) Turner, on 25 Apr 1649 at Scituate MA. They had eleven children. Note: This Anne James who married John Turner, Jr. is listed a "almost certainly a daughter of Philip" James in source #1 below. That John Turner, Jr. was the s/o a Humphrey seems a bit odd, but in his will he writes: "I, John Turner, Jr., sonne of Humphrey Turner late of Scituate...". 2. Francis b. abt 1622 at or near Hingham, Norfolk; d. 29 Nov 1684 Hingham MA. He married Elizabeth Hiland, dau. of Thomas and Deborah (___) Hiland, before 1657. They had six children. 3. Jane b. abt. 1634; d. aft 13 Feb 1661[?/2]. She married John Adams, s/o John and Ellen, poss. Helen or Eleanor (?Newton) Adams, and they had three children. 4. Sarah bp. 13 Mar 1636 at Hingham, Norfolk; d. 30 Jun 1664 Barnstable MA. She married Robert Parker 28 Jan 1656/57 at Barnstable MA. They had four children.

Footnote no.39 in this article lists the following for more information about Sarah James and husband Robert Parker: - The Mayflower Descendant, 11 (1909); 99-100 - "Robert Parker of Barnstable, Mass.," by Maclean W. McLean, NEHGS Register, 112 (1958), 113 (1959) and 114 (1960) - Genealogist George Ely Russell - P.O. Box 505 - New Market, MD - 21774 ----- Francis James was named as a passenger on the Diligent. Francis was probably the brother of Philip James. Francis died on 27 Dec 1647 in Hingham MA, and his wife Elizabeth died 11 Apr 1660 in Hingham. They apparently had no children. Thomas Sucklin and Richard Baxter, also on the Diligent passenger list, came as servants of Francis and Elizabeth.
