Notes for: James MCFADIN

James was the fourth of six sons of Captain James McFadin (no daughters names of whom are known). He was born ca. 1778-82 in NC and was residing in Davidson Co., NC (later TN) when his father died in 1790. He appeared in Christian Co., KY, where his brothers resided in 1806. In 1809 James married Polly Isingheart (or Isenheart or Juneheart) in Christian Co., but he is not on the 1810 Census of that area.

Based on historical references which claim that the Christian Co.,McFadins were "moving to Missouri," it is possible (but yet unproven) that this James is the elder James McFadin whose family appears on the1830 Census of Wayne Co., MO, and then on the 1840 Census of Madison Co.,MO. The names of his children are unknown. (Research continues.) [emailfrom David McFadden]
