James was the 1st-born of nine children.
Husband of Nancy Arabelle/Aribell "Airbell" Whitlow, daughter of James Whitlow and Temperance "Tempy" Howell; married about 1860.
Father of eight children, 6 boys and 2 girls, all survived childhood: John William "Willie", Rufus Albert "Rufus", Milton Thomas "M.T.", Edward "Hardy", Mary Susan "Sudy", Matilda "Tilda" or "Tildy", James "J.G" or "Gooden", and Samuel C. "Clarence". [Names in quotation marks are how they were known to family.] All of them are listed below.
Family records have birth day as January 31, death certificate states July 31 (see on next page). Tombstone says June 31 -- we know that one is wrong... only 30 days in June.

Gravesite Details
Engraver Error: Birthdate should read January 31 not June 31. (Too bad the engraver did not realize there are only 30 days in June)
