After Amanda died James C married Hannah Winnifred "Winnie" North 9 Dec 1874 in Bates County, Missouri. They were found on the 1880 Census Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA. He age 44 and she age 24. Three of his children are present on this census, Charles, Lizzie and Mary 'Dora'. And two children born to James and Hannah, Archie and Gertrude.

In a 1910 Census he was found in Kansas City Ward 5, Wyandotte, Kansas, USA aged 74 with Hannah and daughter Gertrude. And a final 1920 Census he is aged 84 with Hannah and Gertrude who was married at this time to George L Brooks.

A 1924 Directory of Hannah shows she is a widow so this means that James died between 1920 census and 1924 directory in Kansas City Ward 5, Wyandotte, Kansas.

I will continually update as evidence is found.
