Notes for CLARENDON JAMES: NOTES: John and Clarendon married sisters, who were Quakers. An item from the Monroe County Deed Book A says that " 17 Oct 1835 George C. Harris deeded to John Perr of Cumberland Presbyterian Church Camp Ground, land on Chestua Creek." Jennie James told (Norman S James) that Dick and the unnamed son were in the Army during the Civil War. The unnamed one died of smallpox not long after he went to camp. Dick never came home or wrote to his family after the war. Clark went to some of the men who served with him, about the remembered having talked with him shortly before they were to be discharged. He was never found, however. Alice married a man name Eisenhower. He had been a Captain during the War, and afterwards still wanted to be called "Captain". They lived in Texas, and had a large family. The Clarendon James family is on the 1870 census of Whitfield Co., GA, but late moved to the Maysville, Arkansas area. That is where Myrtle Overley knew them. They may have lived in the Cherokee Nation instead of Arkansas. In the Index of 1890 Census of Persons Living Under Permit in Delaware and Cooweescoowee Districts of the Cherokee Nation, there is a Clark James listed; he was 74 year old, had arrived in the Cherokee Nation in 1890, and there were two in the household. This may be the right Clark James. There is also a Wiley James, no age given, three in the household, arrived 1872. There is a John James, age 23 arrived 1890.

Fact 1: Clarendon & John married Sisters Notes for AUGUSTA OCTAVIA EVANS: [TERRY2.GED] NOTES: Augusta Jane "Aunt 'Gusta" James was a plain, homespun type of woman, very religious, and well loved by all who knew her. She was a pillar of the small church in Maysville, which had begun with a brush-arbor revival led by a preacher from Grove I.T. The church's first meeting place was a small log building that had been used as a hog barn, and which was donated by the owner. SOURCES: Letters to Norman James from Jennie James and Myrtle Overlay.

RUFUS JAMES, b. Abt. 1818, Blount Co., TN; d. Bef. 1918, Georgia. Notes for RUFUS JAMES: NOTES: I have found little on Rufus James. There was one item in which a Rufas M. James was a witness to the will of James Reveley (An item from the Monroe County Deed Book A), and there is a Rufus James on the 1860 census of Monroe Co., Georgia (p. 713 1.73). I am not sure that the latter is the right one, but feel the the first one is. These are the only references I have found. Note that Garrett James named one of his sons Rufus. This child died in infancy. SOURCES: The James Family: the genealogy by Norman S. James (self published) ix. MARY ANN JAMES, b. June 05, 1824, TN; d. May 01, 1890, Whitfield, Georgia; m.
