James H. went across the Great Smoky Mountains and met his future bride, Martha 'Patsy' Bradley on the Bradley Fork of Oconalufty River in Haywood County, North Carolina.
Shortly after the marriage, James H. and his wife Martha 'Patsy' Bradley moved to Sevier County, Tennessee for a 'temporary' two years stay. Then they returned to Bradley Fork of Oconalufty River in Haywood County, North Carolina to establish their permanent home.
On 29 May 1848, James H. bought 89 acres of land from his father-in-law Isaac Bradley for $10.00. This land was located on the watershed of Bradley Fork, part of Oconalufty River in Haywood County, North Carolina. It began 'at a Beech on the North side of said River on the waggon Road...'
James H. and his wife Martha were listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Haywood County, North Carolina. There were three children in the household at that time: Sarah, age; Thomas, age 3; and Jerrymiah, age 1.
On 9 January 1851, James H. bought 25 acres of land from John Hyde of Cherokee County, North Carolina for $25.00. This land was located 'on the left hand fork of Ocona Lufta River known by the name of Morrison's Flats' in Haywood County, North Carolina.
In 1860 James H. and his wife Martha were listed in the Federal Census of Jackson County, North Carolina. They now had seven children in the household. They were: Sarah, age 16; Thomas, age 14; Chasteen, age 10; Marcus, age 8; Jeremiah A., age 6; John, age 4; and Isaac, age 1.
On 22 June 1861, James H. sold 10 acres of land to his brother-in-law Thomas Bradley for $10.00. This land located on the watershed of Bradley Fork, part of Oconalufty River in Jackson County, North Carolina. It began 'at a Beech on the North bank of the left hand fork of Oconalufty on the bank of the Road above the residence of the said Thomas Bradley...' This was the land that James H. had purchased from his father-in-law Isaac Bradley.
Two years later on 2 March 1863, James H. Reagan enlisted as a private in Company F. Thomas' Legion which was commanded by Colonel William H. Thomas. It is most likely that he served out his enlistment in Company F, Thomas' Legion from Jackson County, North Carolina. After he was discharged, he went home to resume farming on his lands.
James H. died in the Oconalufty River community and was probably buried in the Bradley-Carver Cemetery in the Bradley Fork area, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In the Abstract of Titles for Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there was noted 'outstanding interests of the heirs at law of James Reagan for a one-eight each in that portion of tract' of land. Also another interesting item about this family was noted in the file...
'James Reagan died leaving the following children and heirs at law, to wit.; 'Sarah Roberts, husband Dan Roberts 'Thomas Reagan 'J. Chastain Reagan 'Mark Reagan 'Bige Reagan 'John C. Reagan 'Isaac Reagan 'Mary Jane Bradley, husband General Bradley'
Combining these excerpts and the census records verifies the names of the children of James and Martha 'Patsy' Bradley Reagan.
