James appears on the Orange Co. VA list of tithables; the list of Philip
Bush in 1749, and that of John Bryant in 1756. These enumerated white
males over 16, and slaves over 16. Bought 200 acres in Orange in
1754; in 1761 James and wife Frances of Orange sold this land. James
of Albemarle Co. bought 320 acres in Orange in 1771. James and Frances
of Albemarle sold 145 acres in Orange Co. in 1777 and 225 in 1779.
Road overseer in 1775, also in western end of Orange. Family records
state that he and his wife are buried at the Old German Burying Ground
near, Wilkesboro in Wilkes Co, NC. This may be the old Dutch
Cemetery, across from Antioch Church, in eastern Wilkes Co. A British
mercantile claim says he had a very good estate in Wilkes Co., but before
the peace he became deranged in his mind and shot himself; his estate
after his death was squandered among his children, most of whom settled
in the same neighborhood.
