"Pedigree of Sir John James, Founder of the Fund for Pennsylvania Missions.
Roger James, of the parish of Allhallows, Barking. London, Brewer, was of Dutch parentage, being son of, or descended from Jacob Van Haestrecht, who was of Cleve, near Utrecht. Coming to England in the latter part of the reign of King Henry the 8th, he obtained letters of denization, and (probably to avoid the animosity which at that period prevailed in London against foreigners) he seems to have dropped the family name of Haestrecht, and to have called himself Roger James, taking his father's Christian name as a surname for himself.
His brewery was, I believe, in Lower Thames Street, then called Petty Wales, and he may possibly have taken the idea of adopting his father's Christian name as a surname, from the custom of his Welsh neighbors. He died in 1591, and buried at Allhallows, Barking, London, in the chancel of which church there is still remaining a brass with his effigy, and the following inscription:
"Here under lyeth the body of Rogers James, late of London, Brewer, who being of the age of 67, departed this life the second day of March, 1591, leaving behind him Sara his wife, eight sons and one daughter."
By his wife Sarah, daughter and heiress of Henry Morskin, of London, he had issued...
VI. John James, of Grove Manor, or Grange, in Woodnesborough, Kent, two thirds of which estate had been purchased by his father, and the remaining third part was purchased by his mother and her sons, Thomas and John, in 1594. Thomas dying without issue, John succeed to the whole. He married Susanna, daughter and co-heiress of Peter Vandewall of Antwerp, and had a son Henry, and four daughters, who, on the death of Henry, s. p., became co-heirs of their father..."
