Notes for: John MCFADIN

John was the third of six sons of Captain James McFadin (no daughters names of whom are known). He was born in 1780 in NC, was apparently raised in Davidson Co., NC (later TN), and arrived in Christian Co., KY,ca. 1797-1803. John settled near Trenton, KY, and is on the 1810 Census (Christian Co., KY). In the following census (1820), he is shown along with his son Isaac in Todd Co. (which was created from Christian Co.). John appears to have remained in Kentucky after his brothers departed the state, possibly for Missouri. He died in 1844 in Todd Co., KY." [emailfrom David McFadden]
