From History of Hales Chapel Christian Church, p. 32:
James Madison (1844-1905), the great-great-grandson of Thomas, was the oldest son of John Fuller Gresham and Matilda Louisa (Carroll/Ellis). He married Mary Elizabeth Barnes and they had a family of ten children, most of whom were members at Hales Chapel. Their home place burned in 1985 but was on the land now known as Buffalo Ridge Estates. This was home for Ida and Belle Gresham until they were up in years and moved to Jonesborough. Here their sister, Hassie, joined them when she retired from teaching school in Knoxville, and their brother, James Madison, Jr., when he retired as a lawyer in Oklahoma. Several of the other children married and settled in this community and their descendants are still at Hales Chapel. Charles S. [Sumner] married Minnie [Eckel] Hale, [daughter of William Chamberlain Hale and Sarah Frances Leab.] Horace M. married Bessie Keyes and his home was near the Gresham Cemetery until he moved to Jonesborough. Cordelia married James A. Keebler and their home was near the intersection of the Buffalo Ridge and Jonesborough road known as Keebler's Crossroads. William Winter's home was in Oklahoma, but he is buried in the Gresham Cemetery along with most of the rest of this family. George Newman was also a lawyer and John Fuller, Jr.'s home was in Knoxville where he was in the dry-goods business.
James Madison's sisters, Amanda E. married Julius A. Stafford and Mary E. married Jacob Bacon and they are all listed as early members of hales Chapel. He also had two brothers, George E. who died young and John A. who married Sarah E. Neil in Knoxville.
