James was referred to more than once in the histories. He owned ten acres of land and lived in a home near (Number 2 on the 1958 Highland map). The only James William Telford who may be the one indicated was born May 26, 1857, to John and Elizabeth Robinson Telford and was living in Bountiful, Utah as a child.
