Huntingdon From 'The James, Pyne, Dixon Family Book' publ 1977, account by Alicia C Percival of the life of Dr Thomas James, Headmaster of Rugby:
John James, grandfather of the Headmaster (furthest back known to his descendants) used to be referred to in family tradition as 'The Equestrian'. This was explained to the child whose later reminiscences are the source of knowledge in that branch of the family, as meaning not a Knight, not even to her disappointment a Circus rider, but - an ostler. There is a vague, unsupported tradition that he was of Welsh origin, but he worked at an inn in Huntingdon and is said to have married the daughter, or widow, of his master the inn-keeper. In 1706 there is a record of a John James marrying Mary Colton, by licence, at Christ's College Chapel, the traditional year of the marriage of Thomas's grandparents; this has been accepted as relevant. One son, John, born 1714, survived to become a surgeon in Cambridge; there may well have been other children before Thomas (father of the Hcad- master) was born in 1725.
