Notes 
Text:
Dated April 15, 1843
James Crain Admin. of Cuthbert S. Crain Decd. VS Elizabeth Crain, Now Elizabeth McConnel, Moses McConnell, now husband of the said Elizabeth and Ephrain Bilderback.
James also was that administrator of the estate of Cuthbert and bought items. James and his wife, Elizabeth sell their share of Benjamin's land to Cuthbert in 1842.
Probate of Cuthbert has a note that states that a new administrator was chosen because James was deceased, note dated 1848.
I think this James is the one who married Elizabeth Crain in Perry County in 1838.
Don't know where James was in the 1830 census, his father died in 1829, James would have been about 20 in 1830.
1840 Perry Co., Illinois Census Census was written out 30 Oct 1840 > James Crane > 000010 2000100 > 1 male 20 under 30 > > 2 females under 5 > 1 female 20 under 30

1840 Perry County, census
CRAIN, James CRAIN, Elizabeth 06 Mar 1838
James was listed as being in Perry County in 1844, when brother, Hall Crain sold him land.
CRANE, JAMES* State: IL Year: 1840 County: Perry County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: No Township Listed Page: 072 Database: IL 1840 Federal Census Index
This could be James the brother of Cuthbert? Also is his name James Henry Crain, which could explain Emri as the father of James FM, Henry and Emri sound alike to me. I have a court document now that names him as James S Crain, could be James Shelton Crain also probate document names him James H Crain. Think James FM was named after his father who would have died shortly before he was born.
