A McMAHAN Family of Saline County,
Missouri
Compiled by Paul Zebe
Contents
Introduction
|
I descend from the two old interrelated McMahan families of
Saline County, Missouri. The founders of the particular family
line from which I descend were John McMahan and his wife Susannah
McMahan, who came to the area that would eventually be Saline
County sometime before Missouri became a state. They moved to the
area from Kentucky with McMahan relatives from both his family
and hers.
John's parentage is something of an open question. Some say
that his father and mother were John McMahan and his wife Sallie
Boone, daughter of Isaac Boone and niece of Daniel Boone. Others,
however, argue that Sallie Boone died before puberty, so she
could not have been John's mother. Furthermore, the man
frequently identified as John's father failed to mention John or
any of his brothers who were residing in Missouri in his last
will and testament, a curious oversight for a father. John is
said to have been born in Kentucky.
Susannah McMahan was a daughter of Thomas McMahan and his wife
Diana Adams. Thomas may have been one of the sons of James
McMahan and his wife Susannah Hildebrand of Rowan County, North
Carolina. Diana was the daughter of Abraham Adams and his wife
Triphena of the Northern Neck of Virginia, then Rowan County, NC,
then Clark County, KY, and finally Madison County, KY. Susannah,
daughter of Thomas and Diana, may have been born in Kentucky,
where her parents are known to have lived, although she and some
of her children are inexplicably identified in census returns as
having been born in Tennessee.
John and Susannah married in Madison County, Kentucky, in the
early 1800s. After their marriage, John and Susannah lived in
Clark County, Kentucky, for a number of years. They owned land
there in the vicinity of the county seat. For a period, John may
have been the Clark County jailor. John died in Saline County in
1843; Susannah, however, is said to have moved with family to
Wise County, Texas, after the Civil War, where she reportedly
died in 1865.
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who is also
descended from this family.
