James was a Captain in the Missouri Militia.
James and his brother, Benjamin, were founding members of the Poplar Bluff
Masonic Lodge, #209, A.F.&A.M. The lodge was organized in
1860 with a membership of eleven as follows: J. W. Baldwin, J. T. Adams, James M.
Jennings, James D. Dennis, Charles L. Scott, T. M. Ritch, C. P. Phelps, T. J.
Bledsoe, S.W. Miller, B. D. Jennings and James S. Ferguson. The first meeting
was held on the evening of May 7, 1860, and the election and installation of
officers took place, as follows: J. W. Baldwin, W. M.; J. T. Adams, S.W.; James M.
Jennings, J. W.; T. J. Bledsoe, Treas.; T. M. Ritch, Sec.; James S. Ferguson, S.D.;
C. P. Phelps, J.D.; C. L. Scott, Tyler.
The last mention of Rachel was in December of 1869 when she won an auction of
some land on the Poplar Bluff court house steps and handed the deed to a man in
payment of debts. She then seems to have disappeared.
