Excerpt from James Iredell, Lawyer, Statesman, Judge
James Iredell was born in Lewes, Sussex County, England, October 5, 1751.His father, Francis Iredell, a merchant of Bristol, married Margaret McCulloch. The family were allied by blood to Sir George Macartney, the Earl of Wigton, the Fergusons, McCullochs, and, by marriage, to Governor Lyttleton. Henry McCulloch was connected with the Government of the Province of! North Carolina, where he owned large landed estates. Through the influence of relatives, James Iredell was appointed Comptroller of the Customs at Port Roanoke (Edenton) N. C. It was said at the time, "The office is genteel requiring little or no duty, so that he will have time to apply himself to business; it is worth upwards of one hundred pounds sterling a year." Iredell appropriated a large portion of his salary to the support of his father and mother, thus "illustrating in a forcible manner his filial piety and generous nature."
