Notes:

Based on Archibald's will his brother John had son James. If this is Archibald's brother then son James. Anne Chase believes this James is son of David McNeely of Rowan County. David has a James. John does not mention James in will, however that does not eliminate the possibility of James being his son. John's will does not list daughter Elinor and possibly another daughter as well. SEE NOTES ON JAMES FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

1778 tax list of Rowan does not include James hence was not 18 years old. 1787 tax list does include James age 26 would be born 1761.


The late Betty Mills (Cape Girardeau County Genealogical Society) thinks James married 2 times, Elizabeth 2 wife, probably correct if age is correct tax list of I787 includes male 3 and female 26)

James married Elizabeth Kilpatrick on 25 Feb 1793 in , Rowan County, North Carolina, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of John C Kilpatrick and Margaret Elizabeth McKnight) was born in 1771 in , , North Carolina, USA; died on 08 Dec 1845 in Rutherford County, Rutherford County, North Carolina, USA.
