convenient to Capt. James' vessel. To the mariner and his partner were born three child¬
ren : Sally. Aug. 27. 1798; William Kellogg, Sept. 18, 1800, and Mary PZsther. The
first child, Sally James, married a Keeler, and was a Winnipauk mother, who died quite
before she was eighteen ;  her child also died early.

The second child, Williain Kellogg James, became one of Norwalk's strong, ener¬
getic, enterprising and successful business and banking men. The late William K.
James was bred to industry. He read human nature, was an observer of human
actions, and quickly discerned the general trend of things. His acquaintance was large,
he was a responsible and much respected man, and his reputation as a strict, sage finan¬
cier was wide. He amassed a handsome property, was a capitalist of integrity and influ¬
ence, and an unostentatiously liberal and charitable man. The ending years of his life
were happily passed with his wife, Alaria Philips Selleck, in the substantial residence which
he erected (1840) some years before his marriage. He left, at his decease, what is known
as the "James Legacy" to St. Paul's Church.     He had no children.
