Notes

Need to find information on James while he lived around Utica, New York from 1884 to 1889 including locating his naturalization paperwork. Richard Dowsland, an uncle of James' wife Elizabeth, immigrated in the 1840s and lived in Westmoreland, Oneida, New York. He would have likely been a reason for the Vasey family, and James Langdale, to settle shortly in upstate New York after they immigrated in 1883.
