Nov. 8, 1813, Morganton, Burke Co., NC md. 1) Mary Mitchell June 10, 1770 at the ten-mile house, a tavern ten miles north of Charleston, SC. She was a cousin born in Charleston, SC, d. July (?) 1787 in Burke Co., NC (when son David was six days old). She was the daughter of James Mitchell & Margaret McDowell. , 2) Ruth (--?--) Howard who died January 22, 1812.
James Greenlee came to Surrey County, North Carolina from Virginia, before the Revolutionary war. He bought a fine farm on the Dan River but sold it again and went to Morganton, Burke County. He owned all the best lands about Morganton. His possessions are now divided into more than half a dozen fine farms. Besides this he owned lands in Yancey, Mitchell and Rutherford counties, and two fine farms in Turkey Cove; also land on the Catawba River where his son David Washington settled, is now divided into five good farms. He also owned fine lands near Memphis, Tennessee. He was a cattle raiser and the Catawba bottoms were green with cane and the hollows were knee-deep in wild pea vines. He drove his fat cattle to Philadelphia and to Charleston, South Carolina, for sale. He owned a great many slaves. While he was absent from home during the Revolutionary war the tories robbed him of stock and grain and took off a female servant, which was all the help Mrs. Greenlee had on the place. While he was in camp, the Tories killed his stock, wasted his grain and feasted on beef, mutton and honey. They heard that Colonel Campbell was coming and hurried off unceremoniously. The servant was secreted by a kind neighbor while the Tories were travelling several miles away and was sent back.
James Greenlee was a business man, public and private. He said he could never wirte a deed to convey land from him, but could write one to himself. He never sold land, but bought all the good land that he could. He settled his six sons on good farms, all of them within a day's ride from home. His six sons settle their own matters without any lawsuits. He was Land Inspector in North Carolina and Tennessee; member of North Carolina Convention in 1788. In politics, he was a Whig; in religion, Presbyterian.

She was a woman of remarkable energy and character.
Gen. Charles McDowell, at the beginning of our Revolutionary troubles, was commander of an extensive district in this section of the country. He and his brother, Gen. Joseph McDowell, were called the "heroes of Kings Mountain." Both distinguished themselves in times that tried men's souls. They were residents of Burke County and rendered important service to their country. Their father settled in Virginia, where Winchester now stands, but removed to Burke County, North Carolina about the time of their birth. In June 1780 Colonel, afterward General Charles McDowell was joined by L.Shelby, John Lewis (?) of Tennessee and Colonel Clark of Georgia. This the beginning of the fight of Kings Mountain, which memorable spot is on the border of North and South Carolina, Cleveland County. It extends from east to west and its summit is five hundred yards long and fifty wide. On this summit Ferguson was posted, Major Joseph McDowell, Colonel Lewis and Major Winston formed the right wing, Campbell and Shelby the centre and Colonel Cleveland and Colonel Williams on the left .The officers were all of equal rank, but as they were in Charles McDowell's district he was entitled to command. He was a brave and patriotic man and a good soldier. He was a member of the Senate and State Legislature, 1786-1788; Senator from Burke, 1782-88; also in 1778; Member of the House, 1809, 1810, 1811.
