John Fleetwood McFadyen inherited over 1,000 acres of reservation area land that he managed for his turpentine business (Johnson 1984). He also was an elder in the Long Street Church and served as Cumberland County Commissioner between 1914 and 1918. John Fleetwood McFadyen was one of the first landowners willing to sell to the U. S. Government; he thought the Army base would benefit the region economically. John Fleetwood and his wife, Ursula Howard McFadyen, had ten children, the oldest of whom, James Scott McFadyen, served in France during World War I. James Scott McFadyen later purchased the Blount music business in Fayetteville, renaming it McFadyen Music House.
