James Henry was the 7th child born to Thomas Smith, Jr. and Rose (Getty) Smith. He was born in 1857 in Illinois, probably St. Clair County since that is where the family was living in the 1860 census.
According to family sources James married Jane Melinda McBride on September 19, 1878 in St. Clair County. I could not find a record of their marriage in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, however, James and Jane do show up on the 1880 census married and living with Rose Smith.
James and Jane had one known child - Robert James Smith, born May 31, 1882 in Illinois. Robert married Elizabeth Jane Montgomery about 1904. Robert died December 31, 1925 in Sparta, Randolph County, Illinois.
James is believed to have died in September of 1914 in St. Clair County. Wife Jane died December of 1907 in St. Clair County. This information is from family sources. I do not know where this family is buried.
If anyone has more information I would very much appreciate your getting in touch with me.
