(II) James, son of Russell Walker and Sarah (Nicklen) Furman, was born in the town of Schuyler Lake, New York, January 17, 1794, died January 29, 1874. He was a soldier of the war of 1812, serving at Sacketts Harbor, and along the northern frontier. He served for many years as justice of the peace of Herkimer county.
