• Notes

  On 29 Mar 1841, William C. James, his brother, Thomas A. James and William's soon to be father-in-law. Joseph Birchett, showed up at the government land office in Fayetteville where William and Thomas each paid $100 for 80 adjoining acres of land that was located just west of Valley Springs. Joseph paid $50 dollars for 40 acres in what is now the SW quarter of Harrison, AR. Where do you suppose William, age 22, and Thomas, age 21, each got $100? That was a lot of dough in those days! - from Milt James family record. Milt also noted that the land deed for Thomas James listed his middle name as Anderson.
