Plot Lawn-17, Section 33, #15; Shares marker w/ Ida S. Fletcher (1856-1938)
James was the son of Moses Fletcher and Lacey (Grey) Fletcher. United States Census enumerations show him living in Ohio County, Virginia, in 1850 and 1860, and in Fremont County, Iowa, in 1870. Those enumerations do not include marital status or family relationships.
In 1850 James lived in an eight-person household headed by 19 year-old laborer Andrew Jackson; also in the household were 35 year-old Lucy Kemp, one year-old Josephine Kemp, and five persons between the ages of six and 19 with the surname "Fletcher." (Perhaps Lucy Kemp was James's mother, widowed by his father and by a subsequent husband.) In 1860 James was part of a six-person household, all named "Fletcher," and ranging in age from four to 24 years. (Three of these persons were also in the 1850 household.) In 1870 James lived with 24 year-old Lucy Fletcher and two year-old Mary Fletcher; perhaps they were his first wife and daughter.
James Fletcher and Ida Moyer married on October 4, 1876, in Scott County, Iowa and lived in Iowa at the time of the 1880 and 1900 U. S. Census enumerations. By the 1910 U. S. Census the family had moved to Spokane, Washington, where Ida remained after James's death.
