Question:

Does anyone have any information on James Meng or Ming?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Which? Don't forget the Minge, Minga, and Mings spellings. Too many to discuss.

It seems to me I already got 2 points for answering this (about one during the Civil War) and then another 10. I guess this is another 2.

I suggest that you need to get a little deeper into research - begin digging out documents where James lived and died, and making copies. Document, document, document.
