In 1604, King James I (VI) of England authorized a committee of about 50 scholars to prepare a revision of earlier English translations of the Bible. The new version apeared in 1611 and became known as THE KING JAMES, or AUTHORIZED VERSION.
The beauty and grace of the translation established the King James Version as one of the great treasures of the English language. No English translations of the Bible appeared for more than 200 years after the publication of the King James Version. During this time, the King James Version was the most widely used translation in the English-speaking world.

Ames Plantation Land Base
Settlement of the Ames Plantation area began about 1820 when John T. Patterson
established a homestead on the North Fork of the Wolf River. Settlement was
rapid, particularly during the 1830's and 40's with many settlers coming from
the Carolinas, Virginia, Alabama and Middle Tennessee. Settlers traveled
overland hauling their belongings in carts or covered wagons, driving their
livestock along. Some traveled the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers to
one of the tributaries of the Mississippi where their journey turned upstream
into the interior of West Tennessee.
A few of the residents of Ames Plantation property during the early years of
settlement were: Robert Cotten, John W. Hunt, Elisha W. Harris, David
Jernigan, John W. And Wiley B. Jones, William M. May, Benjamin and M. B.
Moody, Alexander McNeill, Willis Person, David Putney, Robert Thornton,
Nathaniel Ragland, and William Whitaker.
The production of cotton was foremost on the minds of most of the settlers.
Plantations were established on thousands of acres of newly cleared land. This
cotton plantation based economy thrived from the 1830's until the Civil War.
The Ames Plantation includes the sites of several 19th Century plantations.
Some of the plantation owners or "planters" were: Thomas E. Chambers, Matthew
B. Dyer, Benjamin Moody, Fanny Dickens, John W. Hunt, David Jernigan, John W.
Jones, Wiley B. Jones, Alexander McNeill, William Winfield, and Elisha W.
Harris.
Along with the end of the Civil War came an end to the plantation tradition of
the Old South. Much of the old plantation lands were shifted to the share-crop
arrangement of farming. This practice continued throughout the remainder of
the 19th Century.
Historically significant sites found at the Ames Plantation include: the Ames
Manor House constructed in 1847 by John W. Jones, the homestead of John T.
Patterson, one of the earliest in Fayette County, and the homestead of Robert
G. Thornton which was the location of the first court session held in Fayette
County in 1824. Other important sites of local historical interest include:
the location of the Mount Comfort (Morgan) Store, Andrews Chapel Methodist
Episcopal Church, the townsite of Pattersonville, and the earliest documented
burial in Fayette County.
