   JAMES M. RECORDS, eldest son of James and Sarah (Wilson) Records, was born
February 10, 1827, in Boone County, Ky., and removed with his parents to Greene
County, Ind., the spring of 1840, which has since been his home. James Records,
Sr., was a prominent man in Kentucky during his time, having served as Colonel
of State militia and Justice of the Peace, also serving in the latter capacity
in Greene County. He also operated the first tobacco shop ever in this county.
James M. lived with his parents on the farm until twenty-two years old, and June
28, 1849, married Alvira C. Dobbins, to their union being born nine
children—Sarah F. (deceased), James Byron, William M., Walter S. (deceased),
Almeda J., Anna B., Benjamin Butler, and two that died unnamed. Mr. Records is
one of Greene County's best citizens and farmers. He has 260 acres of good land,
upon which he has the largest orchard in the county, consisting of 1,000 apple
and 2,000 peach trees, all of which were set out and cared for by his own
labors. The farm is beautified by substantial buildings, and serves to produce
large quantities of tobacco, which is marketed principally at Terre Haute, La
Fayette and Louisville. Mr. Records is a Republican, has served as Treasurer of
the Board of Township Trustees, and he and wife are members of the Baptist Church.
