Notes

  • The memorial for James McAfee on Find a Grave has his full name as James WIllis McAfee.  The memorial comments that there is now no gravestone, and provides no source for his full name.  Several other genealogies also have this full name for James.

    A McAfee genealogist states that their McAfee family records show no middle name for James.

    "The generational McAfee private family papers of my family do NOT show a middle name of "Willis" for my direct generational grandfather, Honorable James McAfee Jr. buried in Bostic NC.  These graves are no longer marked with the gravestones, but I know exactly where they are located, and have been there through time."
    --  Carolyn McAfee-McGuire, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins etal, 13 February 2016

    Carolyn comments further on the FAG memorial page:
    "Honorable James McAfee, Jr, buried in the tiny hamlet of Bostic, NC located on the NC border line to SC.  May it be known that, to date, no early NC courthouse record for this James McAfee Jr. reflects the middle name name "Willis." ... All of the grave markers for the McAfees and the Greens have disappeared from this gravesite in the old Bostic Brick Yard.  Nothing remains of the cemetery location but the little high rise where all were buried."
