James was the son of Andrew Jackson Whitman, and the nephew of the poet Walt Whitman.
His Philadelphia death record claims that he was born in New York state, a single laborer, age 32, resident of Doylestown PA Bucks County at the time of death, and that he was buried in Evergreen Cemetery Camden NJ on Jan 30 1892.
The cemetery claims that others still buried in the plot are a "child of Whitman" died 1877 (no first name given), and a "Sarah Clark" died 1904 age 80 years. Also the cemetery claims that originally buried here were James' great-aunt (mother of poet Walt Whitman), Louisa, died 1873, and James' cousin Walter Whitman (son of Walt Whitman's brother George Washington Whitman) age 8 months died 1876. However the remains of both Louisa (F-G #10325859) and little Walter (F-G # 10325894) were later removed to Harleigh Cemetery.
