(I) Hugh James (1785-c.1803) was baptized in Rhaeadr church on 31 July 1785. He was named after his brother, who had died a few weeks previously (baptised 21 March 1784; buried 4 June 1785, outside his mother's tomb at Rhaeadr). The second Hugh was a midshipman and died at the age of 19 (1803 x 1804) of yellow fever and was buried in Plymouth. (Ii) Miss Catherine James (1787-1863) was born 31 Jan. 1787, died 26 April 1863, aged 74, and buried at Rhaeadr. (Iii) Miss Jane James (1782-1866) was born 11 July 1782, baptized in Rhaeadr church 12 July 1782, died 24 March 1866, aged 83, and buried at Rhaeadr. She seems to have had a son, John E. James, who resided in New York and was dead before 1860. (Iv) Miss Margaret James (1788-1872) was born 17 Feb. 1788, probably away from Rhaeadr, as there is no mention of her baptism there. She visited India in 1829, and stayed for a time in Liverpool, 1851 and 1862. She died 29 Oct. 1872, aged 84, and was buried at Rhaeadr. (V) Miss Sarah James (1790-1869) was also probably born away from Rhaeadr. She was born 11 April 1790, died 19 Nov. 1869, aged 79, and was buried Rhaeadr. The 1841 census shows that Horatio James, his wife, and his daughter were living at Fir Grove, South Street, Rhaeadr, and next door, presumably at old Penralley although it is not named, lived his mother and three of his sisters.:. 1841 Census. Fir Grove: Horatio James (50), Sarah James (30), Harriet James (5), Mary Owen (25; servant), Mary Lewis (25; servant) and Edward Evans (15; servant). 1841 Census.
