I just completed the proposed merger of the profile for Lemuel James-1241. I have listed the FamilySearch record on profile and did the same for his parents.
I read through the Family Source record and I can find no evidence or facts to confirm that John James-2270 (FS MIP2-M1Z) nor Elizabeth Dearmore-5 (FS K2LL-5C4) were the parents of this Lemuel James-1241.
Both were born and died in Norfolk, England and there is no evidence that they immigrated to the Colony of North Carolina where Lemuel James-1241 was born, and then returned to England.
