Can anyone provide a primary source that James is the son of Francis?

My source is Adventures of Purse and Person Virginia 1607 - 1624/5 Fourth Edition Volume Two Families G - P. Page 567 MASON - does not include James as a son of Francis.

The book was published to commemorate the 400 anniversary of founding of Jamestown by The Order of First Families of Virginia and is considered by the Jamestown Society as "pretty reliable". http://www.jamestowne.org/faqs-on-application.html
