It is believed [2009 update: see the page for Nancy Ellis!] his wife was an Ellis from the Oshawa area. They moved to the Guelf area about 1830 and raised a family of nine children. In 1845 Eld. Henry writes : "This has been a marked year in my life. Our cup is a mixed one. 'We may have joy in the morning, but sorrow cometh in the evening. In the first part of February I was moved to visit my brothers who lived near Guelph. I started accordingly, accompanied by my wife. The snow was deep, and we had an uncommonly hard journey. When within about three miles of the place we met my brother William. Being very tired we were overjoyed at the meeting, but soon, alas, our joy was turned to sorrow, for he informed us that my dear brother James was dead. He had died the day before of inflammation of the lungs, and we had arrived in time to attend the funeral, which was to take place at two o'clock the next day. We had expected to meet him well and happy, and enjoy a pleasant visit with him. We arrived at his house and found him cold in death, with his wife and nine children weeping around him. It was an affecting time. The next day about eighty sleighs filled with people met at the house, and followed his remains to the Manse burying ground."
