He was enumerated as head of household in Matawan, along with his wife, Caroline (23 years old, born in Prussia), son John (2 NJ), daughter Christina (1 NJ), and brother Frederick (34, Wurttemberg), who was also a butcher. Christian's real estate was worth $7,000 and personal property was valued at $2,000.

Henry James, age 35, born in England, appears in the 1870 Federal Census in Matawan, along with his wife, Agnes (35, England) and a seamstress named Elizabeth Currie (35, England).
A well-to-do 79 year old widow named Susan Bailey resided with them in 1870. She had $12,000 in real estate and $2,000 in personal property. The 1850 and 1860 censuses show this woman to be the wife of Dudley P Bailey, a merchant. They were living in Raritan Township in 1850 and Middletown Point in 1860 and were said to have been born in New Hampshire, while the 1870 census said she was born in Maine. There were three young Baileys living with them in 1850 -- Caleb (16, Massachusetts, possibly a grandson), Caroline (36, Maine, possibly a daughter-in-law), and Susan (10, Texas, possibly a granddaughter). Caroline and Susan were with them in the 1860 record.
