Five years younger than George, James was born in 1808. Married with two children, he too was a Methodist preacher.

A founder member of the Tolpuddle Union, he was singled out by Squire Frampton as a fire brand as early as 1830 during local riots at Piddletown. Of all the emigrants to Canada he alone did not buy land, opting instead to become sexton of the North Street Methodist Church in London Township, Ontario. He remained so until his death at 65 in February 1873.
