| Isaac McFadden Descendants |
| Isaac McFadden Descendants began
as a bicentennial project but keeps growing as new material and “new”
descendants are located. The text includes a documented biography
of Isaac McFadden Sr. of Chester County, South Carolina, who died
in 1820. Succeeding sections of the book highlight each of Isaac’s
16 children with their census records, vital statistics, and identified
descendants. Updates include additional pages on more-recently-identified
descendants and photocopies of Isaac McFadden’s family Bible register,
which shows his children, the family of his daughter Catherine Ewing
(McFadden) Patton, and some of her grandchildren.

Texas, motivated the research and the book. Other biographies or genealogical
sketches include Rev. Sam Black of Virginia; Sam Black of Kentucky;
James Shaw of early Nashville and Kentucky; several generations of
the Turley family of Virginia and Kentucky; Henry Brantley Brown of
North Carolina and Arkansas; several generations of the Holmes family
of Gonzales County, Texas; Almanzon Huston of San Augustine County,
Texas; and Cummings and White families of Cherokee County, Texas.
