Description of James 1 McAfee:
Woods, Rev. Neander, Woods-McAfee Memorial, 1905; Reprint 1998, Higginson Book Company, pg. 161.
"James McAfee, Sr. was a large, squarely built man, six feet high, with large bones, strong passions, and great decision of character. He had large hazel eyes. When aroused he was ready for any enterprise, and shrank not from danger. Nevertheless, he was amenable to reason, and could be ruled by gentleness and love."
