    Notes:

    James Balford "Jim Bally" McMahan went from Sevier County, Tennessee to Greenville, South Carolina via Yancy County, North Carolina to help his father, Archibald McMahan II, taking a drove of mules to market. In Yancy County, North Carolina Ned Wilson, father of Polly Ann, had a "stop" (a place for drovers to bed down, and a pen to keep the livestock). Jim Bally and his father stopped at Wilson's. Polly Ann helped serve breakfast the next morning. Jim Bally liked her looks so much that when his father paid him for his work, he bought himself a fine suit of clothes and came back to Wilson's, as Granny Mc said, "this time he came a-courting." Later they were married and he took his bride to Sevier County, Tennessee to live.

    Jim Bally McMahan was at the home of McNulty McMahan, Richardson Cove, Tennessee when he took sick and died (according to what Mrs. Lillie Templin told Fred O. McMahan).

    He was buried in a little cemetery at the top of a hill in Richardson Cove near his brother, David. A native slate stone marks his grave with no inscription.
