Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Company H, 8th Kentucky Cavalry, U.S.A. in Henderson County, Kentucky and served as a wagoner. He was listed on the muster roll as a 21 year old resident of Henderson County at the time of his enlistment for a one year term on August 13, 1862, although his family was listed in 1860 Webster County census, which was newly formed, in part, from Henderson County in 1860.
Also serving in this company was his future brother-in-law, Corp. Cornelius Alexander Brown, who married James’ sister, Mary Brown. Cornelius Alexander Brown died in 1912 and is buried in the Shady Grove Cemetery in Poole, Webster County, Kentucky. Many of the members of Company H were recruited from the Poole (or Poole’s Mill) area of Webster and Henderson Counties.
Company H was one of the companies in the 8th Kentucky Cavalry that was a part of the Federal forces that pursued the famous cavalry command of Confederate Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan (aka Morgan’s Raiders or Morgan’s Men) during Morgan’s Indiana-Ohio raid in the summer of 1863.
