Son of Rev. Thomas Edward Justice, Sr., a prominent Baptist minister in the area, and Mary Dyer [1735-1810]

After his father's death, James, at the age 18, married Miss Anthroit Thomas, and soon became involved in the future of the community where they lived.

To both friends and relative he became one of the important men of the times, both in growth of the community and in his own personal worth to the people.

Quote an excerpt from one of the speeches made by another descendant at a family reunion held in Asheville, many years ago, wherein Thomas E's grandson had already begun to carry on, where we feel the elder man had left off.

Who can discredit the influence old Thomas must have had on this young man...and we quote..."He helped with the surveying of the town of Hendersonville, this James Dyer Justice.. and produced sons and daughters who also helped in the betterment of the small village and rightfully so, he earned the name of "well beloved citizen'. He was mourned by all that knew him when he died at the age of nearly 70
