James Garland McAllister/McAlester was born in Louisa County Virginia to Winifred Allen and James Garland McAllister. As a grown young man, James migrated to the New Territory of Kentucky. It was there that he met and married Temperance "Tempy" Jackson, daughter of Congrave Jackson and Margaret Bush December 12, 1805 in Winchester, Clark County, Kentucky. Like James Garland, Tempy had been born in Virginia but came with her family at a young age to the New Territory of Kentucky.
James received a Kentucky Land Grant on December 2nd in 1809 for 300 acres in Logan County. His land grant was signed by Isaac Shelby, esq., Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He then received a second land grant for an additional 160 acres.
James Garland and Temperance had five children who survived infancy: Nathaniel, Brightberry, William Jackson, and two daughters, Tempy who married and died without heirs, and Fanny who married Robert Rudolph of Johnson County, Missouri. He gradually purchased additional land to add to the size of their farm. The farm was located approximately 5 miles northwest of Franklin, Kentucky which is the county seat of Simpson County (formerly Logan County).
