JAMES McQUADE, SR., was one of the first preachers, raised up to the 
ministry, within the bounds of Long Run Association.  The place of his 
nativity is not known, but he was born about 1761.  He was among the 
first emigrants who forted in what is now called Shelby county.  When 
William Hickman first preached in the little forts in this region, in 
the begining of 1789, this youth attended his meetings.  Of him, Mr. 
Hickman says:  "Brother McQuade stood by me from the first, and was my 
singing clerk.  A little after this, Brother Gano baptized him and two 
or three others."  Mr. McQuade united with Brashears Creek church; and 
here he was set apart to the ministry.  He was more distinguished for 
his piety and devotion, than for the brilliancy of his gifts.  But he as 
a good and useful preacher, in his generation, and was held in high 
esteem by his brethren.  He was called to his heavenly reward, May, 23, 
1828.
