Notes:

[R56.6]

Was his middle name Haight or Hinton? A message on the Maries Co mail-list says Judith Crismon married James Capehart and their daughter Elizabeth married Haight Rigsby. That has to be this James H. His gravestone says Hinton, though.

Note: Possibly I have him mixed up with this James.

both buried in Powers Family cemetery, Maries Co MO, as are children Leonard and Margaret

Note: These land records might not be him. I haven't found him on the 1870 census, though it sure appears he should be in Maries Co.
The other James in Maries Co, mentioned above, did die before 1870, as his wife is a widow on the 1870 census.
