He was the son of John (122) Mears and Mary 'Molly' Beach. James was named in his father's will on 17 December 1784 at Accomack Co, VA.

Later records incicate he had moved..3 James was listed as a head of household in the census of in 1830 at St. George Parish, Acc Co, VA. He was shown as James Mears (of M), age 40 to 50 years.
