Notes
a. Note:   l Box 81 He served in the military between 1792 and 1794 in Northwest Campaign of Wayne's Indian Wars. 1,5,6 He signed a will on 15 Dec 1831 in Henry Co., KY.7 He died on 17 Apr 1836 in KY.8,9,10 The date of his death is not well documented. His will was probated in June 1836, but in affidavits in 1850 Sarah (his wife) said he died on 17 April1836 and in 1857 she said 20 April 1837. Thomas James, in his later years, resided in the Six-Mile Creek area, East of Bethlehem, KY. Thomas James was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and the North West Indian Wars of 1792-1794. Not much is known, at this time, about his Revolutionary War service, but there are several documents that chronicle his service in the Indian wars. These documents exist as affidavits in the attempt to have his pension reinstated and to qualify Sarah (his wife) to receive a pension after his death. The pension was reinstated.
  Thomas served as a private in Whitaker's Battallion of the Kentucky Militia (or Kentucky Volunteers) during several Indian War campaigns in the Ohio Valley under General Anthony Wayne in the 1790's (also known as Wayne's Wars). Thomas served under Captain Adair, who later became Governor of Kentucky (William Clark, of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, also fought in these campaigns).In a skirmish on 6 Nov 1792 the Indians scalped Thomas;. There is some information that he served through 1794: However , in 1795, Timothy Pickering , Secretary of War, said he was discharged with a one third disability on 25 July 1793, and he received a pension of one and two-thirds dollars per month. On 7 November 1827 he was declared two-thirds disable and his pension was increased to five and one-third dollars per month, and on 3 Nov 1829 increased to $8 per month. He died on or about 17 April 1836 from an inflammation of his scalp wound.
  Below is part of an affidavit by Rich Taylor, 10 September 1821
  "I served with him in the northwestern campaign in 1792. Was present in the action of the 6th of November in that year at Fort St. Clair, where I was myself severely wounded, and where he was knocked down with a war club in personal conflictwith the Indians & scalped. I do not hesitate to say that on that occasion he acted bravely - that he was a good soldier - and is a respectable man. Such is the general belief of those who know him, and I can not but be grateful to findhim thus spoken of by Gen. Ray and Governor Adair, the both of whom was his commander and whose observing mind could not have been deceived. He also served with me in Gen. Scott's campaign in 1792 and under Gen. Wayne in 1794 and on alloccasions found him in the line of duty and at the front of danger."
  In a newspaper article in THE SHELBY NEWS, Shelbyville, Ky of 7 May 1903, G.W. Demaree wrote the following about "Some Early History of Six-Mile Creek" :
  "Among the first settlers on Six-Mile Creek were three soldiers of the Revolution, Dan Pierson, Tom Sell, and John James (This and the following should be Thomas James not John James).......... John James, the third old soldier, located on lower Six-Mile in a very early period in the history of the early settlers. He was known as "old" John James - pronounced "Jeems" in those days - because he hada son named John, who was advancing in age. Old John James was more widely known than either Pierson or Bell, on account of the misfortune he had met at the hands of the red skins, having been scalped by them. I remember when a small boy the old soldier was at my father's house, and he removed the cap he wore under his broad brimmed hat, and exhibited his marked scalp. It presented the appearance of a dried raw hide, It used to be said that few people survived many years after being scalped, but John James lived to be an exceedingly old man and was the father of a large family. Giving him due credit, for the times and disadvantages he labored under, he was a successful man."
  Thomas JAMES was married to Sarah CLARK on 5 Feb 1795 in Mercer Co. KY. 11,12,13,14,15,16 Marriage license dated 5 February 1795. Sarah , in an affidavit for Revolutionary War pension gave wedding date as 14 Feb 1795. The consent for marriage was given by Charles Clark.
