| 0-1-1-1 James Isaac Plymale I was born in
Giles County, Virginia sometime between 1804 and 1807. He was raised from infancy
by his grandparents instead of his mother. He moved to Gallia County with them about
the year 1820. His mother Elizabeth stayed behind and lived with her husband Joseph
Rowe. It is unclear who James Isaac's Plymale's father actually was. As an adult, 0-1-1-1 James Isaac Plymale I visited Pike County, Kentucky to see
some of the Rowe family that he knew from when he lived in Giles county, Virginia.
It is thought that while on this trip he met and fell in love with Mary (Molly)
Rowe. They were married on May 27th, 1830 in Pikeville, Kentucky.
James Isaac bought a farm near Pikeville, Kentucky on Russell Fork, a
tributary to Livitha Fork of the Big Sandy river. Here on this 700 acre farm, that
was also rich in coal, they raised a family of fifteen children.
During the Civil War, three of his sons, 0-1-1-1-1
Hugh, 0-1-1-1-8 James II, and 0-1-1-1-9 William, fought with the Union Army.
After the war ended, 0-1-1-1 James Isaac and his son 0-1-1-1-1
Hugh had to flee Pike county for their lives as the local people were in sympathy with
the Confederacy and were going to kill them for fighting with the Union Army.
They rode horseback to Catlettsburg, Kentucky where they settled down. They bought a
small farm on the Twin Fork of Catlett's Creek about three miles south of Catlettsburg.
0-1-1-1 James Isaac remained in Catlettsburg until his death in July of
1888. He is buried there in the Warner graveyard.
As of the mid 1960's, 0-1-1-1-14-6 James Isaac Fields
owned and lived on the little farm where his grandfather 0-1-1-1 James Isaac Plymale spent
the last fifteen years of his life. |
