James Lawson Hathaway's childhood home was in then Harrison County, Virginia, which later became part of Barbour County. The 1750 Census has him, his wife and children in Randolph County, Virginia, parts of which were also folded into Barbour County. In the Civil War era, Barbour County was included in the new State of West Virginia. James also lived in Van Buren County, Iowa, and Scotland County, Missouri.
