James Hamilton Berry was married three times. First to Martha Caroline Triplett. His second wife was Elvira Catherine Pettygrew . She was born February 26, 1834 and died September 7. 1915. Both Martha Caroline and Elvira Catherine are buried in Fair lawn Cemetery, Stillwater Oklahoma. James Hamilton is buried between them. Some records spell his middle name Hambleton.

His third wife was Mary Matilda Brown. She was born April 16, 1844 and died February 19, 1929. James only lived a little less than 6 months after they married.

James was in the Civil War and was wounded at Hartsville and Pea Ridge. He fought for the North, was a Private in Company D, 48th Regiment of Missouri Infantry. He entered the armed service August 25. 1864 and served six months. He was discharged March 25, 1865. He had a bullet in his knee and drew a pension for this war injury.

James and his first wife had 13-14 children and there were four surviving at the time of his death. They had 3 sets of twins all died at an early age.

He also claimed to be a relative of Jesse James (the outlaw) but never mentioned the relationship or closeness of it. His mother-in-law was Matilda James Brown and perhaps this was the connection.

James's cousin, Charles A. Skiles, born Feb 15, 1886, died Feb 13, 1904, he is buried beside one of the James's wives. The tombstone in Fair lawn Cemetery has his name spelled Charlesa. J. H. had his body moved to the cemetery in Stillwater because he was buried in a cemetery somewhere north of town. It is not known if the cemetery was being abandoned or if he just wanted his cousin lo be close to his family. William Lafayette Berry helped moved the body to Fair Lawn Cemetery in Stillwater, OK.
