Marriage:

Sources:
1875 Kansas Census
1880 Census
1910 US Census
1920 Census
Notes:
                   All the census say that he was bron in KA.
1875 Kansas census - Uriah and JH were there, his wife is not. This was on 1 Mar 1875.
James was not in the 1885 census with Mattie (after Uriah died). He ends up living in N.J. so possibly he was sent to live with blood relatives after his father died.
1895 census, he was in the Township of Lower, County of Cape May, New Jersey. He was married to Alice at the time.
1910 - He was 36 Living in Vineland, Cumberland, N.J  He was and insurance agent.
1920 - He was 45. He was living in Ladis Township, Vineland Borough, Cumberland, New Jersey, during the 1910 and 1920 census. 1920 census he was living with his daughter and son-in-law.
Middle name very well could be Henry. One tree (Hoffman-Melland) had Henry as the middle name.

He and Alice were in Lower Township, Cape May, NJ. in 1895. Bertha was there also. This would confirm the theory that Melinda (Melvany) was his mother - since that is where she was from.
