Surnames: James Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2hB.2ACI/107.1.1 Message Board Post: Joyce,my great-great-great grandparents came from N.C.John James was b. abt. 1820 in N.C.and m Barbary Roof b.abt. 1822 in S.C. or N.C. They were married in 1841 in N.C. and had two children before they moved to Union Co. Ga. where they were listed in the 1850 census. Next, they were listed in the 1860 census of Polk Co. TN. and then the 1880 census of Cumberland Co. TN. To my knowledge, only one of their 7 children stayed in Cumberland Co. TN. and raised his family there. I can't find the other children, so I'm searching for descendants in all the surrounding counties. Wish we could have made a connection. Thanks for your reply. Shirley
