When the Revolutionary War broke out, James McGaughey joined and served with Jane's brothers and other family members. He first served under Capt. Hugh Whiteside husband of her Aunt Margaret Amberson Whiteside, then under Capt. Alexander Pagan, husband of Jennet Kelsey cousin to Jane, who was followed by Capt John Mills, who was married to Mary Gille daughter of Robert Gill & wife Eleanor Kelsey, and then by Jane's brother, Capt.

On November 6, 1787, James McGaughey witenessed the will of William Weir of Chester Co., S.C. The two other witnesses were John Mills and David Boyd. Three years later James McGaughey is listed on the 1790 census of Camden Distric, S.C. with a family of three males under sixteen years of age and four females. Logically this would mean he had three sons and three daughters, or a total of six children. One would assume they were born between the years of 1772-1790, and that the sons were born after 1774.
Apparently Jane and James McGaughey soon left the Fishing Creek area as they executed a deed on April 6, 1790 selling to John Mills, Jr. for 58 pounds, 6 shillings, 8 pence sterling the 100 acres purchased from Samuel Morrow in 1771. The deed is recorded in Deed Book "B", pp 182-183, Chester Co., S.C. deed records , and reads: "James McGaughey, Planter and wife, Jean". The deed was witnessed by James Pagan and James Graham. No further records were found in Chester Co.S.C. concerning the couple.

He was married to Elizabeth Lackey who died in 1840, and after her death he moved to Duck River in the area which is now Maury County, Tennesee. He died there in 1812. His family has been well documented, but there are no records showing his own lineage of the names of his brothers or sisters. His son, George Washington McGaughey, was one of the signers of the second petiton of 1805 for the formation of Maury County, Tennessse. It is the belief of many McGaughey researchers that Wiliam McGaughey, husband of Elizabeth Lackey, and James McGaughey, husband of Jane Cooper, were brothers.
