James G. Fanning, Class of 1844

Fanning was a teacher in Talbot County, GA 1850. By 1855, he was living in Union County, AR. Fanning, a farmer, enlisted as a corporal in Co. F of the 19th AR Infantry on an unknown date. Fanning was discharged on June 9, 1862 at Camp Priceville, MS. There is some indication that Fanning may have served as a recruiting officer.

After the war, he continued to farm in Union County, AR, where he also served as county surveyor from 1872-1874 and from 1878-1884. Family histories list that Fanning died in Ravenna, TX around 1885.
