Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Archibald McMahan was born Scotland (son of McMahan and Catherine Cole); died Jul 1826, Bibb County, Alabama.

    Notes:

    It is believed Archibald McMahan left his home in Ireland and came to America about 1746 to seek his fortune in the wilderness of the new world. Archibald McMahan, then 16 years of age, landed in either the state of Virginia or North Carolina.

    His great grandson Sanders McMahan said "Archibald 'the elder' was born in Scotland and he went to Ireland, met Mary McNulty and married there, then came to America through port of Washington North Carolina and settled Buncombe County, North Carolina.

    There is debate over Archibald's given name. Some believe Archibald and Redmond are one in the same, but both names have not been found to be used together. We now believe they were brothers.

    During Archibald's lifetime he accumulated quite a bit of wealth and at the time of his death he owned seventeen slaves.

    It is not clear where Archibald McMahan was buried. Some say he was buried in McMinnville or Morrison, Tennessee.
