His mother was with her parents. Dr. and Mrs. Coward of Galveston at the time he was born, while her husband was a soldier in the Confederate army, and his father did not get to see him until six months after he was born.
James A. McFaddin was one of the most noted cattlemen of Southern Texas, and a brother of W.H. McFaddin, widely known resident of Beaumont. He laid the foundation for the vast McFaddin farm and ranch interests in this section by moving from Jefferson County, where he was born, to Refugio County, at the age of 18. He remained there for 29 years before locating in Victoria County.
A.M. McFaddin was associated with his father in the ranch business and also followed that business on his own account with large cattle interests in Brazoria County. When oil was first discovered in Texas at Spindle Top he became associated with the late W.C. Tyrell of the Heywood Oil Company in that field and others throughout the country. He was former member of the Texas Legislature from the Victoria district and also had served as president of the old Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, as well as a director of the Victoria National Bank and other financial and business institutes here and elsewhere.
McFaddin was the owner of one of the first Brahma herds in the United States and assisted in the importation of these cattle from India, raising them exclusively for many years. About five years ago he disposed of his cattle to his brother-in-law, William H. Crain and nephew, Claude McCan and retired from all active pursuits, devoting his time to travel. He made a trip around the world, and more recently a tour of South America. It was following this trip about a year ago that his health began to fail.
McFaddin is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Ada Pettus, a member of the well known Pettus family of Goliad County, to whom he married in 1869: one sister, formerly Miss Emma McFaddin, Mrs. Royston Nave, now the only surviving members of a family of 10 children and by a number of nieces and nephews.
