There is a discrepancy in the date of James’ birth. His grave marker states that he was born in 1759. However, in the book “Let the Drums Roll”, Veterans and Patriots of the Revolutionary War who settled in Maury County, Tennessee by Marise Parrish Lightfoot disputes the 1759 date. This book states that he died at the age of 72 in November of 1829, which would indicate he was born in 1757.
James has been accepted as a “Proven Patriot” in the Sons’ of the American Revolution. His Patriot number is 195803. He was accepted for his service in Virginia’s 10th & 6th Regiments.

In August of 1782, James, his close friend Aaron Reynolds, and his brother-in-law Richard Tomlinson fought in the battle of Blue Licks. Richard was killed in the battle.
