V. James, son of James and Elizabeth McDade, was born in that part of Georgia, which in 1793, became Warren County, and died in Alabama. He was buried in Manning Springs Cemetery, near Mt. Meigs. His tomb, the largest in the cemetery, bears the following inscription."Sacred to the memory of James McDade, Sen. who was born in Warren Co. Ga. May 13, 1788. Emigrated to Alabama in 1818 and died at his residence in Montgomery County, June 17, 1850."

James McDade's will dated May 25, 1850, in which his son Alexander W. McDade, was named executor, was probated July 9, 1850. (Will Bk 3, p. 141, Montgy Co. Ala.) Recorded, also is a deed of trust to his son, Alex W. McDade, for the wife and children of Jas. McDade. Negroes and certain property in Range 20, were involved. However, the two youngest children, Richard M. W. and Helen Unity were not mentioned in the deed of trust.

Sarah, the widow, dissented from the provision of the will and claimed dower in the lands belonging to her husband. Some of the land in this estate was known "as the Judge McDade place."

When Sarah McDade died, the lands so assigned to her, as her dower interest, reverted to the estate. On November 2, 1871, the executor, Alex W. McDade, reopened the case and petitioned the Court for permission to sell the lands, for the purpose of making an equitable division among the heirs.

The petition listed the living children of James McDade and their residences; and, also, the names, approximate ages and residences of the children of his deceased children.

Prior to leaving Georgia, James McDade married, but name of first wife has not been ascertained. There were three children
