2 CONT about 21 years old.  Shortly thereafter he joined the Masonic Lodge in Dublin.
2 CONT  When he was about 22 years old he left Ireland for America.  His occupation
2 CONT is listed in the ___ Census as Farmer/Planter.  The family believes that he,
2 CONT with others, was motivated to leave Ireland for a country where there was more
2 CONT religious freedom.  He landed in Georgia and later went to Livingston, Alabama.
2 CONT  He was a member of the first Livingston School Commission.  He served as
2 CONT County Clerk and Recorder of Sumter County, Alabama (County Seat Livingston)
2 CONT for many years.  All the County Records made by him were written in ink with a
2 CONT goose quill.  These many records are, as we understand it, well preserved and

2 CONT which was free from blots or erasures.  There are many of his letters that he
2 CONT wrote to Thomas Bradford Savage (his son) in the hands of the Leslie J. Savage
2 CONT family and other members of the family.  One story from Martha Savage is that
2 CONT James's sister converted from Protestant to Catholic and became a Nun.  James
2 CONT promised to rip off her veil if she did become a Nun.  He did so and because
2 CONT of the public furor had to stow away in a barrel on board a ship for America.
1 NOTE DEATH: He died in Livingston, Alabama and the tomb at his grave has all the
2 CONT Masonic emblems on it with the inscription: "Erected to the memory of James
2 CONT Savage, Esqr.  Born March 1780 Died Livingston, Sumter County, Ala. 19, Dec.

2 CONT the Country.  Fanny Pace Goodman spend a good bit of time at his home.  During
2 CONT the Winter we lived on the River, while in the Summer, we went to the

2 CONT Dr. Isaac Newton of Arkansas.  About this time his wife died and a few years
2 CONT later he remarried.  After that we seldom visited him since his children were
2 CONT violently opposed to his wife.  He closed out his Mercantile business and
2 CONT lived on the Plantation about 3 years prior to his death there.  He had his
2 CONT Minister, Reverend Shahine, of Georgia, come twice a year to hold meetings in
2 CONT the Big Loom-house.  Great preparations were always made for such meetings.  
2 CONT Everyone who came to Church was fed, horses were cared for.  His house was

2 PLAC Probably SC
1 NOTE BIOGRAPHY: She was the daughter of John Coates of Newberrie, South Carolina. 
2 CONT I think she married in South Carolina.  The Coates family was Scotch and came
2 CONT to North Carolina sometime in the seventeen hundreds.  They first lived in
2 CONT Saulsberry, North Carolina and owned considerable land.  I don't know whether
2 CONT they bought or patented their lands - they may have been ceded to them by the
2 CONT King.  John Coates then located in Newberrie where he had considerable land
2 CONT and leased the ground for 99 years, where Newberrie was build - donating the
2 CONT Public Square.  The lease expired during the Confederate War.  All of the
2 CONT original heirs, but one, were then dead.  The one living heir, Uncle Billie
2 CONT Coats, sold his interest in 1800.  Some little effort was made to investigate
2 CONT this estate to determine whether or not living descendents had any interest
2 CONT but the families were scattered they could not unite to agree upon one Lawyer
2 CONT to represent them,  so each branch sent its own representative.
2 CONT It is believed they were paid in hush money, since we know that some members
2 CONT of the families of the original heirs came back after investigating, with
2 CONT considerable money.  John Coates' brother, Andrew, went to New York and
2 CONT established the factory that manufactured the Coates thread.  I suppose some
2 CONT of his family are still connected with the factory.  Uncle Billie Coates came
2 CONT to Alabama in 1800 and opened a farm at Clarksville, Clark County, Ala.  The
2 CONT first Courts held in the County were at his house.  He died in 1870 supposed
2 CONT to be one hundred years old.  He was said to be scrupulously exact and honest
2 CONT in all his dealings and lived every day as if that was to be his last.  He was
2 CONT on good terms with everyone.  Shortly before his death, he was baptized.  He
2 CONT was carried from his bed to the baptismal pool and immersed.  A former
2 CONT servant, then blind and about 80 years old, was baptized at the same time. 
2 CONT The more aged and feeble master, ever careful and kind of his servants,
2 CONT remained on his bed after his own baptism and would not be removed until Uncle
2 CONT Joe was baptized.
