Biography

James was born in 1821.^[1] He was the son of Robert Stringer and Mary Burton. He passed away after 1850.

Research Note

Some believe he moved to Missouri and appears in the 1860 Census with a new wife and family. However, even if his wife Rebecca and daughter Margaret Jane have died by 1860, this James Stringer in Missouri has two children born in Missouri in 1847 and 1849 which conflicts with the facts provided by the 1850 Census in Arkansas when James C. Stringer was living next door to his father. This brings into question that James Springer in Missouri is James C. Stringer, son of Robert and Mary (Burton) Stringer.
