-----
James Iredell married Miss Hannah Johnston, sister of Gov. Samuel Johnston and daughter of Samuel Johnston. He was appointed by President George Washington as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. v\ as one of the most prominent leaders of the Revolution in North Carolina, and many of his public papers and letters written in the interest of Independence have been preserved in 'McRee's Life and Correspondence of James Iredell." He is buried near Edenton in the burial lot of the Johnston family at Hayes. We hope to give a more extended notice of him and his family in a future issue of the Register.
*The Register record gives the 1794 date as if it were the date of probate, but this is clearly incorrect, as historical records document Iredell's service on the Supreme Court until his death in 1799 (See, e.g., New York v. Connecticut, 4 U.S. 4 Dall. 1 1 (1799), noting that Justice Iredell did not take his seat on Aug. 5, 1799 because he was ill), and his subsequent replacement in December 1799 by Samuel Chase.
