James, born about 1842, was the son of James Abernethy and Jane Ferguson. He married Mary Strong in Kingston in 1872. At the time of their marriage, he was an engineer.[1]
James and his wife left Kingston and we don't know where they died. Their daughters stayed in Kingston. Mary A (Minnie) married James Wilson Kirkwood and Fred Ford and lived in Deloraine, Manitoba, Canada. Anjane married Hugh Bennett In 1894 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I believe Matilda married first, Charles John Dine in 1895, later, after a divorce, she married Herman C. Fessman in 1917 in Richland, Ohio and then John C. Snyder in Richland in 1928.
