James Taylor "Jim" Falwell, also served in the Civil War in the 4th Tennessee Cavalry, Company A, the same company as his older brother, Elisha L. Falwell. James was born in 1846 in Chapel Hill, Marshall County, Tennessee and he died on 16 March 1893 in Gardner, Weakley County, Tennessee. A Muster Roll for him in the military rolls s was not found, but a Widow's Pension Application was found. His wife, Tennessee Jane (Elder) Falwell applied for his Civil War pension on 20 September 1905, several years after his death. In the application she stated that she was born on 16 November 1846 in Chapel Hill and that she and James were married there on 14 January 1869 by Rev. Jerry Stephens. They were married in Marshall County, Tennessee.
Several questions were asked on the application that were quite interesting. Some of the questions were: Q.

"5 children, 2 sons aged 28 & 25, 3 girls aged 35, 31 & 17."
