Notes for JAMES TUMBLIN:

James Tumblin was born in 1793 in Georgia according to the 1850 census of Columbia County,Florida. He married Jane Hardee May 3, 1819 in Glynn County, Ga. Jane was born in 1803 in Ga. as stated on the same census. In the 1885 agricultural census for Florida in Brevard county, she stated that she and both her parents were born in North Carolina. So her birthplace is not clear. James stated he was a farmer. Jane Tumblin is shown on the 1860 Columbia County census with two children at home and is farming. On the 1850 census the son James was born in Fla and the next four children were born in Georgia but Samuel was born in Fla, and Seletta was born in Ga. This would show that the family moved between Ga and Florida.

The records of the Bethel Primitive Baptist Church of Echols County, Georgia, show that on Sunday , February 12, 1844 Brother James Tumblen and Sister Jane Tumblen presented letters from Mill Creek Church, Nassau County, Florida. It not being regularly constituted, they were received upon a confession of faith. Sister Saletea Tumblen was received on the covenant. In a list of members with no date (appearing between July 1844 and August records, Saletey Tumblen was dismissed and Jane Tumblin -- Letter. In a list of members in June 1849, it shows James Tumblin was dismissed.

Jane Tumblin applied for a widows pension for the War of 1812, in which she said, that the family moved to Florida in 1824. She stated that James died in 1859 and was buried at Bluff Creek. She stated in the pension application that she and her husband lived one year in Glynn County, Georgia after they were married. They lived in Camden, Georgia until 1824. They came to Florida and have resided in Nassau, Columbia, Baker, Clay and Brevard Counties since. The pension was turned down for lack of proof that James Tumblin served in the War of 1812. Jane stated that he enlisted in 1814 for 160 days in the company of Captain H. Loudes in the Georgia Volunteers. After James Tumblin's death, Jane lived in New River County in 1860, moving to Sanderson Post Office, Clay County before the 1870 census, where she is shown as head of the household with her daughter Jane Harvey and three children living with her. Her son, John Hardee Tumblin is living next to her and is a farmer.

In the middle 1870's Jane Tumblin and several of her children moved south to the area west of the St. Johns River and east of the Kissimmee River in Brevard County, in the area of present day Kenansville. In the 1880 census, Jane Tumblin and her daughter Jane Harvey and sons are in one household farming and stock raising. Close by is her son J H Tumblin and family, daughter Martha Walker and her husband Jeremiah and family, daughter Seletta Johns and her husband Bart Johns and family. She also states in that census that she was born in Ga, her father in SC and her mother in Ga. Jane is found again in the 1885 agriculture census for Brevard County and says she is age 82 and a farmer with her daughter Jane Harvey and her sons living with her. She had 10 acres of tilled land, 30 acres woodland valued ar $200, 1 horse and 5 cows valued at $200 and 20 other livestock. This is the last reference for Jane Tumblin.
