James Colvin

Notes:

...Family stories say that James was born in England in 1740 but raised in Dublin, Ireland and was a tailor. Not proved, but possible. Family stories also credit James Colvin with having served in the Revolutionary War during all 8 years of it, and state that his death was the result of his exposure during that war. However, no proof of any such service has ever been found.
...By 1787, James Colvin and family, and a number of the Salisburys had moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania (then Westmoreland) where they appear in tax records, and James is listed in the 1790 census in Georges Twp. of Fayette County. He does not appear in the 1800 Fayette County, Pennsylvania census although his sons were still living there at that time. Shortly after 1800, the Colvin sons with their widowed mother removed to Highland County, Ohio after a short sojourn in Mason County, Kentucky.

James married Frances Salisbury about 1768 in Virginia, British Colonial America. Frances (daughter of James Salisbury and Frances Hawkins) was born in 1747 in Virginia, British Colonial America; died after 1807 in Hamer Township, Highland County, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
