• Notes

  From "The McSpad(d)en Family Ancestry" by Joseph L. Haw III. In the early days of the Mexican War, James Walker McSpadden, 1818-1864, helped organize a company of soldiers and served as orderly sergeant in Captain Vaughn's Company of 5th Regiment Tennessee Volunteers. He left for Mexico in 1847, and served, among other places, at Vera Cruz and San Juan. Soon after he returned, James moved from Tennessee to Lawrence Co., Missouri, near Verona, whither his brother Thomas Alfred had moved in 1845. At the outbreak of the Civil War, James enlisted in Richard Campbell's Company of State Guards in the Confederate Army, and was soon elected first lieutenant. They were in the battles of Dug Springs and Wilson Creek, in Missouri, and were a part of General Price's army. In 1862 James was made captain. His company later moved to Arkansas, then to Mississippi (to Iuka), took part in the battle of Corinth, where James was wounded by grape shot, remained ill in Alabama for some time, then made his way to Williamson County, Texas, to the homes of three first cousins there: John Anderson and Thomas Addison McSpadden, and their sister Nancy, Mrs. Jeremiah Sterling. James' second wife Susan is buried in an unmarked grave 10 miles west of Springfield, Missouri, a mile north of the McSpadden corner.
