Parents unknown

James Cunningham (b. 1738, d. about 1785)

James Cunningham (Generation 1 — Cunningham Family)[2] was born in 1738 in Ulster, Northern Ireland, married Arabella Goode about 1760, and in 1769 emigrated with her and four children to Virginia via the port of Philadelphia.

They settled in northwestern Virginia in the area of Dunmore in Rockingham County[3] — moved later to Shanandoah County, Virginia. Arabella's brother

Henry Goode was a neighbor in northwest Virginia. In 1777 James received a deed for 275 acres in Dunmore County. Part of this land was sold in 1783 by James and Arabella.[4]

James was an active member of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Ulster and these family devotions continued at the Church in Shenandoah, where James died about 1785. There are records in Shanandoah County that suggest James Cunnyngham saw "military service" during the American Revolution.
