James Grant Ficklen, son of Fielding and Elizabeth (Fant) Ficklen, was born in 1794, at the old homestead in Culpeper county, Virginia. He was a man of great energy and ability, being first engaged in farming, but later as a merchant. He lived at "Belleville," a handsome estate near Winchester, Virginia. He married Miss Katherine Davenport, of Jefferson county, Virginia. He had a high appreciation of the value of education, and early employed the best classical teachers to instruct his children. Failing health compelled him to move to Winchester, where, in 1846, he died at the early age of fifty-two. He is buried in Mount Hebron cemetery in that city.
