Trying to find out who James Sr.'s parents and siblings were. I know they came here from Grainger Co,. TN <NC. James Sr was born ca 1765-70 in NC (I think). He married Purry Warbleton. James Jr. married Clarrissa Davis. Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? Please help me crumble my brick wall! Thanks in advance. Teresa
