Note: Jane died while taking care of James and William during their father's illness.  This means the two boys, James (age 17) and William (age 15), were alone in America.  John, their little brother, did not leave for Canada until 1830.  The question is, what happened to this family?  Did James and William return to Ireland?  Who did John, the youngest, live with and who apprenticed him to a weaver?  Did he live with an older sister?  Did James and William go to Canada and that is why John went there?  Did they stay in Pennsylvania? Lots of questions without answers, so far.

James Telford
Born 1794 Ireland
1) Possibly became a naturalized citizen in 1840 in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania.  I found a naturalization application for a James Telford in that year, but there was no birth date given and no way to identify him - so far.  It it is this James, then he waited a long time to become a citizen.

2) Possible marriage to Ann Eliza McDowell in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania and had a daughter, Emaline Telford who married a Bradley (I found Emma's death certificate, which names a James Telford as her father and her memorial on findagrave).  With all of this said, I still need to find more information.  Emma wasn't born until 1849 which would make James close to 60 years old - so it is possible, but unlikely.  OR James could be her grandfather.  OR not related at all...
