I’m speculating that he is the brother of Rosamond, in whose household she was living in 1850. there are 2 Sarahs in the household of nearly the same age; I’m surmising one was his sister and one his wife.62

In his household were the 2 Sarahs, Rosamond Peck, and James, Judson, Phinias, John, Mary, and Oliver Bull. James was listed as a merchant and iron maker, and had property valued at $10,000, a considerable sum. He lived next to a George A. Purmort, age 37, and a John Purmort, age 54.62
