He was given the west hearth of Raynham Forge by his father about 1675. We are led to believe that James worked at the Raynham Forge as long as he worked in iron. He was Surveyor of Highways in 1669 and 1678, on the Grand Jury in 1680 and 1685, a constable in 1686, a Selectman in 1689, 1690, 1691 to 1696, 1697, 1703, 1705, and 1706, representative to the general court 1697-98, 1703-5-6-8-10-17.
