1816 Birth:1610,2292 Birth date of 5 June 1816 from another researcher is supported by 1850 census enumeration, which gives age as 33 years. Birth place is given as Ohio in the census enumeration and Bourbon County, Kentucky by another researcher. Parents James and Susanna Frame were enumerated in Bourbon County, Kentucky1480 in 1810 and in Preble County, Ohio2285 in 1820. The Frame family is believed to have relocated to Preble County in 1816 based on a land purchase827 by family patriarch Jeremiah Frame.

Five sons of James Frame2293 and Susannah Bradshaw (Jeremiah, John, Thomas, James, and Silas) were enumerated as adjacent families in the 1850 enumeration in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. The 1850 enumeration indicates that two of these sons (Jeremiah and James) married women who were born in Illinois, tending to validate this James Frame family as the same one that previously lived in Preble County, Ohio, relocated to Vermilion County, Illinois, and then to Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
