I would like to see the documentation that proves that James had parents. I am the Grandson of photocopies of James and Sarah's bible (the family section) and no parents have ever been recorded.

My Great Uncle, Miller Baird McDonald was the county historian of Campbell and Scott county. He has spent many years and a lot of money researching this. He gave me most of his research before he passed away and told me that if anyone ever found parents for him to ask for clear source documentation.

So I am asking the lady who assigned parents to please post the proof. You don't know how much I really want this to be true so that the mystery is solved.

Thank you

Allen

I would love to compare notes with you Allen. James was my 6th great grandfather.
My line is Isabelle -> Horace -> Hiram -> William Grey -> James

I have no documentation that Dr. Wilton George McDonald Sr. was ever connected to the James McDonald of Scott County Tennessee. I have every newspaper clipping, and history passed down to my Uncle Miller B. McDonald from the family. James McDonald was not a very educated man but many of his sons were... at least all of them were literate and most held offices in Scott County tennessee.

I don't see ANY of those people in his files and they go back over 150 years in Campbell county and Scott County of Tennessee.

Again I please ask for DOcumentation... simp;y saying her husband .... her sister does not give documentation. Any Church Record, like the church trial from the quakers (friends) against Sarah Cox McDonald... or any government record like a tax roll or something would be appreciated.
