In years past there has been talk that there was no proof that James Withrow (1801-1877) of Rutherford County was the grandson of Cptn. James Withrow , b, Va about 1746. I came across this yesterday from the Bulletin of the Old Tryon Genealogical Society and thought it might be of interest:

From the Rutherford County Deed book #34, p. 293:

8 Mar 1824 - James Withrow Senr of Rutherford Co, NC to grandson James Withrow of the same, 75 dollars - negro boy child Bob - Wit: Elijah Sweasey, Jefferson Withrow #451, 9 Aug 1824
