Notes

James' birthplace was likely Lanarkshire, Scotland, but there are 2 people named James Gaittens with similar ages and both born in that area. One was born in Glasgow, while the other was born in nearby Cambusnethan. I haven't been able to conclusively determine which is which. A clue to his life in Scotland comes from an article in The Oregonian regarding the death of one of his daughters which notes he had lived in Kilsyth.
