Upon the ending of the Civil war, he returned to his wife and three children in Collin County, TX. They then moved to Kansas City where J.M. was born and then back to historic Brownville. Here he operated a flat boat ferry across the Missouri river. It is believed to be the first licensed ferry on the river. In 1892 James and Sarah moved to Newport to be near their sons and their families, William and James Madison. Another son, Sterling Price was at Long Pine."
