John James Faries (born Jan 12, 1855, died Aug 30, 1933) was son of John Robert Faries and Nancy E. Barber. Thanks, Wanda >> Wanda, Are you related to John James? He was the brother of my 2nd great grandfather William Caldwell Faries. I have him born 12 Jan, 1856 and died 30 Aug, 1932 and is buried at Woodside Cem in Clover, SC. Was he old enough to serve in a Confederate Unit? I have yet to check the Civil War lists for the Faries' in York, SC. I can if you wish. Kurt Matheson Greenville, SC
