From "History of Heard County, Georgia 1830-1890" by the Heard County Historical Society on page 300 was the following article:
James D. James was born Co. 1789 in Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown was located at this time in James City County. He married Mary Foster, born Co. 1799 in Jamestown, Virginia. Mary was half Cherokee Indian. Eight of their nine children was born in Virginia. The two oldest sons was married. One lived in Patrick Co., Virginia, the other in Franklin Co., Virginia. James, Mary the two sons that was married and all the family left Virginia by covered wagon to come to Georgia. One of the covered wagons was a complete blacksmith shop. They were farmers. The family first settled in Ridgeway Community, then nearer to Texas Community near Cedar and Town Creeks. The Creek Indians were in this area. The James's had brought two "Cur" dogs to Georgia. During the building of their log houses and getting settled the dogs disappeared. It was thought the Indians had killed them. Two years later Mr. Daniel Arrington came from Franklin Co., Virginia. He brought their dogs home. The dogs had gone back to Virginia.
The James's knew they had been accepted by the Indians when they found 2 bags (sacks) of seed corn hanging in a tree. Another time they found a wild, dressed turkey in a bag hanging from a tree limb.
During the wagon trip to Georgia "Mandy" and Lucinda rode "shotgun" on horseback. Lucinda broke a limb to use as a whip. When she got to Georgia, she stuck it in the ground. It rooted and grew to be an apple tree.
The children of James D. and Mary Foster James were: Foster (builder of bridges and one of the builders of Campground) who married in Virginia, Nancy Arrington, Spencer (Mar: Susan Foster, in Va.), Penny (Mar: a Johnson), Amanda, Lucinda (Mar: "Jim" James Moore), Luvinia (Mar: A.C.S. Strayhorn), James Turner, Charles, John Henry (Mar: Serena Brown Philpot.) John Henry was the only child born in Georgia. James D. and Mary Foster are buried in unmarked graves in the Almon Cemetery.
