From my mother's notes: JAMES JUDGE III, born circa 1789 in Halifax Co, NC, married Martha Jenkins on February 22, 1811, in Granville Co, NC. [1] Fairfield Co, SC court records make it appear James JUDGE III died in 1815 or 1816 in Fairfield Co, SC (probably near Winnsboro.)JAMES JUDGE III left three small children: Fletcher Taylor Judge, born 1813 Mary Ann (Polly) Judge, born 1814 James Judge IV, born 1815.

JAMES JUDGE III, was the son of James and Christian (Hilliard) JUDGE II .James Judge II was the son of James and Hannah (Horn) Judge I, all of Halifax Co, VA.

She then moved to Madison Co, AL with a Taylor uncle where she married (2) Ebenezer Byrum in 1827. They moved to Jackson Co, AL about 1831 where Fletcher Taylor Judge married in 1833.
