    Other Events:

    Notes:

    The Jackson County, Alabama Census says Sanders McMahan was born in Virginia.
    Settled in Jackson County, Alabama.

    Sanders McMahan lived for a time in Warren County, where his first child was born. When he came to this area he first settled in Gourdneck Cove, near Anderson, Tennessee. He and William Ake entered 200 acres of land jointly in January of 1821. This entry is recorded in Marion County, Tennessee, because the Big Crow Creek area was assigned to Marion County, from 1816 to 1824 when it was returned to Franklin County.

    When Alabama became a state, Sanders moved his family to what is known as McMahan's Cove and lived there until his death. He and his wife and several of their children are buried in the family burying ground on a cedar-topped knoll just above the spring where Benge's Creek begins as a small branch.

    Sanders was a 1st Lt. in Capt. Meredith Price's Co., Lt. Col. David Cawlfield's Battalion, Alabama Mounted Volunteers, in the Florida War 1836-37.
