• Notes

  James was born in Almance Co., NC according to the Cane Creek MM church records. (I believe Almance was the same as Orange Co. then.) He was disowned for an unknown reason when marrying his Quaker wife on 1774,8,27 by Bush River MM. Hes wife had four sons and seven daughters. James still followed the faith and at 22 when the Revolutionary War started he moved to the back woods of Tennessee to avoid the war. He was again accepted back into the Quaker faith as a member of the New Hope MM in Green Co., Tenn. He moved with his family to Clinton Co., Ohio in 1808 where they were members of the Center MM and where he finished his days. (C-610)
