Another very interesting note - James was business partners for a time with Isaac E Barwick of Wildwood, Sumpter Co, Fl. Though they shared the same name, there was no awareness of how they were related. See Isacc E Barwick in these files...He created the town of Wildwood, FL..purchased the land and designed the town.
Issac E was James third cousin once removed AND uncle to James's wife, Tilly.
James appears in the 1920 Grady Co Census as living with his mother..occupation given as Salesman and something unreadable follows...
His son Lavelle is also listed in Octavia's household.
