The ancestor you share with James is your great great grandfather, Adam Christie (he seems to turn up quite a bit doesn't he?). Adam Christie is also James' great great grandfather.
James was a second generation American. It was his paternal grandmother who left Scotland as a baby in 1890.
James was a pharmacist like his father and worked in the family business. He was a republican and ran unsuccessfully for Secretary of State - Vermont - in 1992. He ran again in 1994 was was elected and subsequently re-elected in 1996 but he was defeated at the ballot box in 1998.
James and Judith had three daughters and one son.
Despite his 8 year stint as Vermont's Secretary of State I cannot find a photograph of James on the internet.
They now live in Venice, Florida in a nice house near the ocean. I wonder if they'd like some Canadian cousins to come visit....!
