and the family subsequently moved to Monongalia WV. I think his father and mother are Sebbeus II (Main-995) and Mary Keenan (Keenan-699), although how James got lost among all those siblings is unclear. The branch is a bit tangled around the two wives named Mary Keenan and the several spellings of Sebbeus (Sabeus, e.g.) in the census documents. I'm gonna see what I can dig up.
