| Notes |
- From Ed Fitzgibbon: "According to E. L. Smith, his grandfather James was an Irish Catholic who came to America as a crew member on a ship from England. He deserted in New York with another fellow and made his way to Tennessee by hiding in the daytime and walking at night. He took up land which was the family home in Monroe County (Jalapa) for many years. James was a fine woodworker who made beautiful furniture. He was killed felling a cherry tree to obtain wood for that purpose. [2]
