One died in Culpeper in 1786 and left a very good estate but he never had any dealings with McCall, Smellie & Co., and was remarkably clear of debt, being a very honest man. He enumerated the few British debts which he owed shortly before his death and desired that they might be paid by his representatives. The other James Gaines removed to North Carolina in 1776 in very good circumstances and now lives in Tennessee on the Holston some small distance from the Block House. He
is a member of the Senate in the Legislature of that state and is very able to pay his debts.
