| Notes |
- [Simmons Jones Baker Manuscript]
"...My great Grandfather had a Brother by the name of James no opportunity has occurred before for naming him - He is represented to have been a handsome & elegantly formed remarkably swift of foot - He was the last who visited & was recognized by the Family in England. In the French war of 1756 he carried off a large number of the Nottoway tribe of Indians from Southampton Virginia - My old Aunt
Jerrell told me she saw him at the time dressed in the Indian costume. He was in a battle at or near to Fort Duquesne now Pittsborough Pennsylvania was severely wounded & refusing to throw away his musket, was drowned in attempting to swim the Ohio -"
