Tradition has James Fears' death date at 5 April 1857, but there is a probate record in Morgan County GA of 8 March 1856 for a will drawn exactly 20 years earlier on 8 March 1836. The memorial has been changed pending a determination as to whether the record is accurate or indicative of a clerk error.
