Lola,
Have you done the IL research for this family? James would have been born
in a Census year - 1860 and they were still there in 1870. That is where
you research to back up to PA needs to begin. Once you have found the
county that they lived in the first thing you will want to do is obtain
copies of his VERY FIRST deed record. Many times that will tell you where
he came from in PA. Good Luck. meg
