I do not have info re his parents, siblings or place of birth. James Helton married Nancy Horton. Nancy was born abt. 1806 in Wayne Co., TN. Her parents were Isaac Horton & Hannah Farris. I found James & his wife on the Lawrence Co., TN 1820 census. They were on the Rutherford Co., TN 1830 census with their children. (My gg grandfather was Peter Jake Helton.) The family settled in Old Tishomingo Co., MS sometime after the 1837 census. Nancy was listed as head of household on the Tishomingo Co., MS 1845 Territorial & State census.
