77. Mrs. John McFalls Sr.⁽¹⁾ was born about 1723. There is a book in the Cleveland Community College library entitled

i. John McFalls Jr.⁽¹⁾ was born about 1745 in ? Botetourt, Virginia. John McFalls, listed as John McFall in some writings, was hanged at Kings
Mountain after the battle of Kings Mountain for being a Tory. His brother,
Arthur McFalls, was spared because he knew Colonel McDowell, Patriot leader.
John McFalls was hanged because he dashed up to a patriots house and caused
his family considerable grief.
38 ii. Arthur McFalls Sr..
iii. Durham McFalls⁽¹⁾. Durham McFalls shows up in the 1810 Burke County, North Carolina Census. He

Arthur and John McFalls.
