James Cunningham was a state pilot of Virginia, and during the war of the Confederacy was attached to the Confederate States navy, rendering faithful and efficient service to the cause to which he was thoroughly devoted. His son, E. H. Cunningham, commander of the Pickett-Buchanan camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, of Norfolk, was born at Richmond, Va., March 23, 1863. He was reared in his father's line of duty, and after some years spent in study in the schools of Norfolk he entered the service of the Virginia State pilots association at the age of sixteen. During the subsequent period he has been constantly devoted to that calling, his field of service being the piloting of vessels from the high sea into any of the Virginia ports. He holds the position of secretary of the association, and is also interested in several other enterprises, being a member of the board of directors of the Southern Land company at Pinner's Point, vice-president of the Arcade Land company at Ocean View power house, and owner of the Norfolk Base Ball Club. He is active and alert as a business man, and will undoubtedly have a successful career. He has contributed greatly to the success of Pickett-Buchanan camp of Sons of Confederate Veterans. He also maintains memberships in the Brotherhood of Steamboat Pilots, and in the orders of Masons, Odd Fellows, Red Men, Knights of the Ancient Essenic order and the Elks. In 1887 he was married to Miss Mary E. Clark, daughter of William H. Clark of Norfolk.
