Excerpt from Journal and Essays on Religious Subjects, 1854

James Bellangee, son of Thomas and Mary Bellangee, was born at Little Egg Harbor, Burlington county, New Jersey, on the 20th day of the Eighth month, 1788, of very exemplary parents, who endeavored to train up their children in the way they should go, and whose precepts and example have remained as a seal on their minds. In the year 1818, James removed with his family to Ohio, and became a member of Plainfield Monthly Meeting, and, after a time, was recommended by them as a Minister. After remaining in Ohio about twenty years, he removed to Illinois, near Ipava, Fulton county, where he. resided during the remainder of his life. His death took place on the 8th day of the Eleventh month, 1853. A little more than a year before that time I was at his house on a visit, and looking over some of his writings, he said I might take them home with me, and publish them, if I thought it would be right. Since his decease it appeared to me to be right for me to do so on my own responsibility.
