Subject: James McBride died in White co., TN
I finally found a date for a land sale (I have a partial copy of the sale lacking the date) of 145 acres from John McBride to Roland Lee, witnessed by James McBride Sr. The guy who gave it to me didn't copy the date and told me it was from Virginia in the 1790s. Roland Lee was there in the 1790s along with James and John, his son so that seemed reasonable. But it was wrong.
I just proved that the sale took place in White Co., TN where the McBride brothers and Roland had moved to. The signature suddenly took on significance. It was witnessed by James McBride Snr. meaning, he had a son named James, and that he was alive on Feb 10, 1812 which then means his birth was probably 1726 per Thomas Jefferson McBride's statement that he was 86 when he died.
James 1726 doesn't show up in the White county tax records because old men without land ownership didn't pay taxes back then. The deed is a courthouse copy, handwritten so the signatures are in the script of the copyist.
I know where James Jr was. He appears in 1801 on the Patrick county land records 3 miles from where the other McBrides lived (a short walk back in that day and age. He stayed on the tax list until 1829. I believe I know (can't prove) 3 children and maybe one grandkid.

Research Notes |
19 Mar 2013 |
- Extensive study of Glenn Morton found that James never lived in the Carolinas as has been recorded elsewhere.
email from Glenn 18 Mar 2013:
documented history of the Patrick Co. VA James McBride. I know this is the correct one because 1. his signature is the same on the 1793 wedding bond as it is on the 1802 wedding bond of Joseph McBride and Elizabeth Brammer, who moved to White Co., TN and are attested by Abner Hill to be a brother of Thomas Crawford McBride. There are no Brammers in Guildford NC, but there were lots of them in Patrick Co. at that time. I have searched the records for Brammers in NC.
Note below that at no time did James live in NC or SC. I have an 1840 interview by the son of the William McBride mentioned above who died at Blue Licks which speaks of his Uncle James who was the guy who carved his name in a tree in Kentucky in 1754. That interview lists correctly where James lived in VA. James was a neighbor to John Colyer on Buffalo Creek, which is what the 1840 interview says.

Notes |
- from Glenn Morton:
From my Great Grandfather's manuscript held at the University of Wisconsin
Now sometime about the close of this war, so the story runs, it was the custom of the country then to hire a shoemaker to come to your home and make the shoes for the whole family. There was in that neighborhood a rich old planter by the name of Crofford, who hired James McBride, Sr. to make shoes for the entire family. I never learned how many children there were, but anyway he had a daughter about eighteen years of age at that time, so it turned out that while James was making the shoes for the family he fell in love with the girl and the girl with him, and that by the time the shoemaker was ready for his money she was ready to go with him. Now, the young couple knew it would not do to let the old folks know, because the Croffords were a wealthy family and would not consent to the marriage, so they planned that when he left she would meet him at a certain place that evening. So James took his pony bob and his blankets, his old trusty gun with plenty of ammunition, his stew kettle in which he stowed his grub. This stew kettle he used to cook with, and went to the place appointed. And the young lady true to her promise met him there, so she rode the pony bob and her lover walked by her side to lead and guide the pony, and so they traveled all night to the Southwest. And you must remember that one hundred forty years ago Southwestern Virginia was a wilderness, so that by daylight the next day they were way out in the wilds of Western Virginia. Their departure was taken so slyly that that the Crofford family could find no trace of them, so they continued their journey to the southwest part of Virginia to the Clynch River Country, and there they made their home, and this young lady who was my great-grand-mother on my father's side lived away from her people for there was bad blood between the Croffords and James McBride, Sr. but when the oldest son, William McBride, was sixteen years of age he went back to visit his mother's people and was welcomed by them. Now I want to say that to this woman there were ten sons born. The oldest one was named William. I can not now recollect all of the named but I have heard Father speak of his uncle Joseph, Andrew, John, and so on.
William is my ancestor, but he is not the one of Botetourt Co.
