    Notes:

    Nathaniel may be been born in Virginia as some sources list him (Dee Lansford).

    In 1804 Nathaniel King and his family migrated to Tennessee from South Carolina. Nathaniel King with his wife, two sons and one daughter stayed for a few years in McMinn County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there. The children settled in the Middle Creek and Wears Cove areas of Sevier County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there.

    Nathaniel King has an entry for 100 acres of land on the waters of Middle Creek in the Sevier County, Tennessee. This could, however, be his son Nathanial as he was married that year. Further evidence suggesting such is that the land bordered his son William's property and was witnessed by his two sons.

    In surveyor's Book No. 1 dated in 1834 is the following:

    "State of Tennessee) "By virtue of Entry No. 1000 dated 7 day of March 1834
    Sevier County )

    "I have surveyed for Nathaniel King one hundred acres of land in said county lying joining the lands of Philip Roberts Sen

    "Beginning on a Poplar near a corner to said Roberts land, running then with Middle Creek S 68 E 60 Poles to a stake, N 59 E 94 Poles to a white Oak near the water fall a corner to an Entry in the name of William King, then with the same N 8 47 Poles to a white oak a corner to same, the with V[acant] L[ands] N 43 94 Poles to a Black Oak, S 70 W 102 Poles to a Black Oak and Pine on a Ridge, S 5 W 83 Poles to a stake & mulberry on or near the line of George Fox, S 38 E 25 Poles to the Beginning.

    "Surveyed 19' day of May 1838

    & ) C. C. John Mullendore, Cty Surveyor"
    Geo. King)

    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.
