James was born before 1778 in York or Chester County, South Carolina. He was in Madison County, Illinois very early, at least by 1805, because he signed a petition from residents of Illinois, dated 2 December 1805 (Territorial Papers of the united States, Vol. 7). He was then living near his cousins Thomas, Francis and John Kirkpatrick in the neighborhood of what is now Edwardsville, Illinois. He served in the war of 1812 as an ensign in Capt. Samuel Judy's Company, made up mostly of Madison County men. In 1820 he sold his Madison County land to Josias Randle. About 1818 he bought land in Bond County, Illinois, near Greenville, and about 1824 he moved to Sangamon County. About 1839, James and his brother John sold their property in Sangamon County and moved to Jefferson County, Iowa. His wife Leanah was living in 1840 but is not mentioned in his will, so she probably died before 1845. He died in Jefferson County, IA, 19 April 1845 He had eight children in total, five from his first marriage and three from the second marriage with Leanah.
