Born in Spartanburg, SC in 1795, James followed in the footsteps of his cousin, 
Miles Rainwater, and became a minister.  He later moved to Campbell County, GA 
and served many chuirches in the area, including Ramah Baptist where he is 
buried.  He and his wife, Polly Ann Mason, had the following children:  Zebulon
