Note 1: About James TARPLEY I, from
Elroy Christenson [Elroy
Christenson's Family Records]:

"James TARPLEY seems to have
been a very diligent farmer who was not active
politically or militarily. In 1704 he helped
George Glasscock set off an acre of land for a
grist mill in Richmond County on Farnham Creek on
the southside of 'Runn.' William BARBER, his half
brother and Edward JONES, perhaps a cousin
through marriage, also helped the venture."
