Preserving Family History Since 1450
The Justice Family Archive is a private, evidence-based genealogy platform preserving the heritage
of the Justice family from medieval Scotland through colonial Virginia to present-day Appalachia.
This archive contains documents, photographs, oral histories, and genealogical records spanning
over five centuries — built to last 100 years and beyond.
Family Patriarch
James D. Justice (1787–1857)
Pioneer Citizen of Henderson County, North Carolina. James represents the family's deep American roots —
a lineage that began when Henry Justice, aged 21, sailed for Virginia aboard the ship "Globe" around 1700.
From those early colonial beginnings, the Justice family established themselves as pillars of the Appalachian community.
