Jesse McFadden purchased a 400 acre tract which is recorded on Deed Book A Page 26. This tract is just north of the Mt. Salem Primitive Baptist Church as marked on the map. It is this tract where he resided until his death. This survey below is an additional tract he received in 1830.

I have highlighted the Mt. Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in the middle of the map since it lies about a half a mile from this survey boundary of Jesse McFadden's.  In this cemetery we find Jesse McFadden's son in law, Joseph W. Jones buried without his wife Lydia.  She is buried approximately five miles east of this survey at Providence Cemetery. The heirs of Joseph W. Jones donated by deed one half acre off of Joseph W. Jones old Home Place for this cemetery. Joseph W. Jones' brother Even is also buried here along with many members and descendants of Joseph.

The middle highlight of course is the tract of land that Jesse McFadden had surveyed.  This parcel is actually south of his original 400 acre tract.

The last hightlight at the bottom is my residence on Hwy 521 in Laurel County approximately five miles from Jesse McFadden's property.
