Was in the partnerships of Harris & Lemon with John C. Harris 1830-1832 and Lemon & Kendrick 1832-1843.  Partnered with Edmund J. Daumont in 1857 and they operated under the business name of James I. Lemon & Co., working primarily as jewelers and silver retailers. Son James Kendrick Lemon was added as a partner in 1865 and Daumont withdrew from the partnership in 1866.
