  Lucretia died some time around 1855.  In the 1860 census, his wife's name is Rosa M Webb.  On the 1870 census record, Rosa M is reported as Mariah Webb.  Another researcher reports Rosa's maiden name as Mariah Collins.  Her first child with James was born about 1854, going by his age here, so we place Lucretia's death and James' marriage to Rosa in 1855.
