I have found a good deal of info regarding this line. James Henry Stockwells'parents were John Stockwell and Eliza Woodhill. Both were born in England. [ I havealittle more info if you would like. ]
Records indicate that John Stockwell and Eliza Woodhill met and then married in the Fall of 1837 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. They had theirfirst twochildren: Caroline AnnandJohn LeonardinCheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.They immigrated to Rochester, Monroe County, New York by Sept. 1845, whereJames Henry was born in Sept.1845.
Records indicate that John Stockwell Sr. died sometime between 1844 and 1850, probably in New York. His widow, Eliza, wasenumerated in Rochester City, NYin 1850 with her three children.
By 1860 Eliza and her three children migrated to St Louis City, Missouri, where she lived and died-04 Dec 1877.
Her daughter Caroline Ann Stockwell married Henry R. Switzer. Although she died relatively young, she had her husband had five children. Her family remained in St Louis.
Her son, John Leonard Stockwell , settled and lived his entire life in St Louis. He married Clara Lavenia Smith.
In 1870 James Henry Stockwell, her youngest child,was boarding in St Louis City and working as a clerk; 25 years old, single.
In 1874 James migrated to San Francisco, California , where he was director of Stockwell & Co. in San Francisco and proprietor, with William T. Baggett, of the “San Francisco Law Journal.” [William Baggett was a Lawyer from Mississippi]
He married Betty Green Claiborne in 1887. They had two children: Betty and son, Roland Woodhill Stockwell. Roland married Mildred R. Conn about 1925 in San Francisco, but I don't believe thaey ahd any children.
