The LIfe Sketch in FamilySearch has a note: CAUTION: This is a combined record of at least 4 persons. It references the birth of James as ca. 1670, the header is 10 May 1655, another reference as ca. 1675. The death date of 1740 seems to be constant. Parents are completely unsourced.

In more descriptive terms, I screwed up, by removing a hold (unmerge) status and then proposing a merge that I have now fixed by placing the proposed merge on hold (unmerge status) that S Hill Wilson recognized as the appropriate condition in May of 2020
Sorry for the confusion
Unmerge term should be called "not ready" or "uncertain" or "Uncertain-Not Ready/Hold"
