Burial Notes: Many people have suggested that James is buried in the Vinson Cemetery on Shepherdsville Road, several miles outside of Gainesboro, TN, in Jackson County. There is, indeed, a Vinson Cemetery at that location, and there are a number of Vinsons (and a few Vincents) there. Some of the stones are old field stones, and others are barely readable. I could not locate a stone that referred to anyone names James.

Additional Notes for James Vincent
Database Note No: 26
According to oral history and legend, Francis Vincent's sons, William, James, and John, came to America c. 1775 and landed in Saint Bartholomew Parrish, South Carolina. John and James moved to Gainsboro in Jackson County, TN, c. 1800, while the other son, William (or George), moved on to Georgia. In the end, there is no objective, conclusive proof of that he was the father of James, William, and John or that he ever even existed.

In any event, Francis (or the person he might have been) is the progenitor of many Vincents, Vinsons, and Vinzants in the American South, including those that eventually made it to Edmonson County, KY.
Database Note No: 1
Most people believe that James Vincent was born either in France or in South Carolina.
Database Note No: 25
Many have suggested that Francis Vincent was born in France, although others dispute the conclusion. It does, in some respects, seem too convenient that "Francis" was born in "France," much like some suggest that one of his sons (William) might have been named "George" and moved to "Georgia."
Database Note No: 24
Some have suggested that William Vincent's name was "George" and that he moved to Georgia when he and his brothers arrived on American shores. This possibility is reminescent of his father, Francis. Some have suggested that "Francis" was born in "France," much like "George" moved to "Georgia."
