James Veatch, Jr. was born in 1725; married Oct. 20, 1751, Eleanor Raymer, of Frederick County, Md.
Daniel and Michael Raymer lived in the same section of that county as did the Veatches, appear to have been of near the same age as Eleanor, and were probably her brothers.
James Veatch, Jr., as noted above, removed from Maryland some years before the Revolution and settled near Camden. S.C. James was a soldier in the war, serving in a regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Taylor. It is said that he was wounded and captured by the British.
