I have no idea where he originally came from, except that he was an inhabitant of the United Kingdom. When the ship was near or around Boston harbor, the story goes, James jumped ship. This episode probably took place about 1875.

He married into two upper middle class families in Victorian era Malden and Melrose, Mass. These were the Upham's and the Coffrin's. He is a very mysterious and interesting man.
