  Notes	King.GEDCOM. Electronic. Date of Import: December13, 2001. Robert P. Dixon, born 1867, died 1957, son of William Henry and Mary Ann "Polly" (McMahan) Dixon (Dickson), told of how his maternal grandparents, Mary Ann Wilson and James Balford McMahan, met: 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, take 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 livestock in). Jim Bally and his father stopped at Wilson's and 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 Mac said, "this time he came a-courting." Later they were married and he took his bride to Sevier County, Tennessee, to live.
