James may have been the son of George and Hannah.
He was a vestryman and justice in Norfolk County, and was one of the initial eight aldermen for Norfolk Borough when it was formed in 1736. He was also the owner of a ship called the Anne, built in 1739 in Norfolk, of which his brother, William, was the captain.
He first married Mary Furlong on 11 Nov 1728. Her will, dated 30 Nov 1730 but not proved for another seven years, left her husband a town lot in Norfolk given to her by her uncle, Daniel Porteen. Daniel Porteen’s will of 1714 had left the lot to Mary Furlong, daughter of his sister, Ann Furlong. Richard Furlong’s will of 1712 had mentioned his wife, Ann, and minor daughter, Mary. [1]
James remarried to a different woman named Mary, who survived him. The 1743 will of John Hayes gives £20 to James Ivey’s daughter Elizabeth, suggesting that James Ivey’s second wife might have been related to Hayes.
