Marriage Notes for Jonathan Fine and Rachel Mankins:
History of Benton County
CRAWFORD COUNTY.
William M. James was born on the farm where he now lives, in Rudy Township,
Crawford Co., Ark., in May, 1846, and is a son of Robert and Elizabeth
(Freeman) James, natives of Warren and Cannon Counties, Middle Tenn.,
respectively. In 1842 they immigrated to Crawford County, locating at Van
Buren, and two years later moved upon the farm our subject now owns, which
formerly belonged to Mr. James' brother, John. Robert and John were both
carpenters, and built three of the first gins
erected in the county. In 1849 Robert went to California, and mined for seven
years, after which he was never heard of. The grandfather, William James, was
of English descent, born in Carolina, and early settled in Warren County,
Tenn., where he died. The mother of our subject was married a second time, in
1854, to Moses Ford, and died in November, 1885, aged sixty. She belonged to
the Methodist Church. William M. is the third of five children. One of his
brothers, Romulus, died in the Little Rock hospital of measles during the war
while in the Confederate service. William remained at home until sixteen, and
then began farming on his own account. Two years later he joined Company G, of
the Sixth Kansas Battery, and a month later went to Texas, where he remained
until the close of the war. He then returned home, and in December, 1866,
married Millie, daughter of Jonathan and Rachel Fine, who were born in
Tennessee, in 1814, and Kentucky, in 1819, respectively. They were reared and
married in Washington County, Ark., and in 1858 came to Crawford County,
settling at Fine Springs, where the father died in
1875, and the mother still lives. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. James was a
pioneer of Washington County, Ark., where he died, and the maternal
grandfather, Peter Mankins, was also an early settler of that county. He
outlived four wives, and died a few years ago at the advanced age of one
hundred and thirteen. Mrs. James was born in Washington County, Ark., and has
borne our subject ten children, five sons and five daughters, all of whom are
Undisclosed in the neighborhood of their birth-place. Mr. James is a self-made man,
and has 356 acres of land, 125 being in bottom land. He is a successful stock
raiser, owns seven fine jacks, and spares no pains in the cultivation of his
stock. He has a large number of Poland China hogs, and is one of the well-to-
do men of the county. He has always been a Democrat in politics, and cast his
first presidential vote for Greeley. He has given his children good
educations, and one son is now attending school at Pea Ridge. Mrs. James
belongs to the Primitive Baptist Church.
