Notes from "The Descendants of Matthew Glaves":
James, Eliza and five of their sons were charter members of the New Hope Baptist Church in Hermitage, Tennessee. The church was founded in November of 1846 with 30 members. He and his family had been members of McCrory's Creek Church and it appears that New Hope was founded to serve the community living on the east side of Stone's River. During certain times of the year the river was impassable making it difficult for these families to attend church services. The Church records provide valuable insight to James, his family and subsequent generations. The minutes of the organizational meeting of New Hope are included here.
"The Missionary Baptist Church of New Hope was constituted at Cedar Glade School on the East Side of Stones River in Eastern Davidson County and State of Tennessee. Agreeable to previous arrangements we who had been members of McCrory's Creek Church met at Glade School House on Saturday before the 4th Lord's Day in November 1846 then seated ourselves and chose a Moderator who presented and read the Articles of the Constitution which was adopted. We then received a lecture from Elder Peter and Thomas Fuqua which was opened and closed by prayer after which we was pronounced a distinct and Independent Church and while a hymm was sung the right hand of fellowship was given. The Church then elected Brother Hollis Hagar, Church Clerk.
Done in regular conference on Saturday before the 4th lord's Day in November 1846.

James and Eliza's marriage is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. They are buried in the Clements Cemetery on Earhart Road in Hermitage, Tennessee.
