James O. Tunstall, the son of Dr. John O. Tunstall and Patsy Jefferies, was born on August 14, 1828 in Arkansas. At the time of the 1830 Census of Chicote County, Arkansas, his mother was not listed with the family. She apparently died between James O.'s birth on August 14, 1828 and the time the 1830 census was enumerated. By 1840 Dr. John O. Tunstall was in Grayson County, Kentucky where he had married Frances Patterson, daughter of Joseph Patterson and Sarah Martin, about 1834.

James O. Tunstall was the husband of Eliza A. Shrader, who was born about 1834 in Kentucky. At the time of the 1870 Census of Falls of Rough, Grayson County, Kentucky the James O. Tunstall family consisted of: James O, age 41, b. in Arkansas; his wife Eliza A., age 36; and children: John M., age 17; Sarah J., age 13; Mary A., age 11; Josephine, age 10; Cath, age 8; Palestine, age 6; James O., age 4; and Eliz., age 2. Their son Thomas was born in 1874.

James O. Tunstall died sometime after the 1900 Census of Grayson County, Kentucky. At that time he was shown as age 72 and born in Louisiana. His wife Martha was shown as age 56 and born in Kentucky.

Traditionally he was buried in the Tunstall Cemetery near Lone Star, Grayson County, Kentucky with a marker with the initials of J.O.T. It is believed that the marker with the initials of E. T. is for his wife Eliza Tunstall. The markers have no dates. His father Dr. John O. Tunstall is buried in this small cemetery.
