Notes for James William Weems

[junk.FTW]

There is much dispute about who James married, Susannah Mackell or Sarah Isaack. Those who believe James married Susannah Mackell believe that Sarah was a wife of James's brother, Col. John Weems. The other side believe that Col. John Weems's first wife had no sons living at his death, according to his will.
