James Brisbane appeared in the 1850 U.S. Census, residing in Liberty Twp., Trumbull County, Ohio, 14 years of age, born in Ohio, residing in the household of Calvin Applegate and his family. James's relationship to the family is undetermined. He did not appear in the 1860 U.S. Census.

Bodies from the battle were moved to Culpeper National Cemetery after the war. The U.S. Government can not account for his burial there but he is likely an unknown U.S. soldier interment there.
