Descendants of James Quarles

Generation No. 3

3. JOHN BANKS¹² QUARLES (DAVID WALKER¹¹, JAMES¹⁰, JOHN⁹, ROGER⁸, ROGER⁷, JOHN⁶, RICHARD⁵, JOHN⁴, JOHN³, GEORGE², GEORGE¹) was born May 29, 1815 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died July 15, 1893 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He married MARY BALLARD WITCHER February 12, 1844 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, daughter of John Witcher and Judith Edwards.

Notes
John Banks Quarles was appointed constable of Pittsylvania County, Virginia in 1850. He served in the Civil War in the 6th Virginia Calvary, 2nd Company E as did his son David Walker Quarles. He is buried beside his wife in Bedford County Virginia very close to the Franklin County line. There is a United Daughters of the Conferacy marker on his tombstone. I visited their graves in November 1996. He wrote lovely poetry, especially a poem to his wife as she lay ill just prior to her death.
