Isaac James, Wife and Children

In Salt Lake, the Jameses initially worked for Brigham Young. Their family continued to grow, eventually including seven living children. The Utah Territorial Legislature passed “An Act in Relation to Service,” requiring that those brought to Utah in slavery be made indentured servants. Although the James family was not directly affected by this act, it illustrated the race-based social hierarchy in which they lived. By the mid-1850s, the Jameses owned property and were prospering. A small African American community developed in the Salt Lake Valley. The US Civil War had little immediate impact, though Jane James’s oldest son enlisted in the local militia. Mormons largely remained outside the conflict, but some African Americans in Utah were more open about their hope that the Union would win. In the late 1860s, Isaac James and a woman believed to be Jane James posed for photographs by a Salt Lake photographer.
