Notes:

Edward Mahan's place of birth is not confirmed.

This family was a next door neighbor to Timothy Ragan's family and the John Marshall's family in the Middle Creek area of Sevier County, Tennessee in late 1790's and early 1800's according to the land records of the county.

All, Timothy Reagain, John and Edward Mahan, and John Marshall signed together on the 1813 petition to Tennessee General Assembly from the "South of French Broad and Holston" country. The signatures appeared to have been signed by the individuals themselves. This petition asked for redress on land titles there.

Land records in Sevier County, Tennessee also show that Edward Mahan owned land by right of occupancy. He received land grants for two entries, (1) 21 acres, 1 rod, 9 chains, and (2) 22 acres, 3 rods, 5 chains on 15 May 1810. These both were on the watershed of Middle Creek.

Edward Mahan enlisted on Thursday, 23 September 1813 for three months service as a private in Captain Simeon Perry's Company, a part of Colonel Samuel Wear's Regiment in the War of 1812. This regiment originally was recruited from Sevier County, Tennessee. Edward was discharged at Sevierville, Sevier County, Tennessee on Tuesday, 28 December 1813.

After the U.S. Congress established the Alabama Territory in 1817 from Creek Indians land, Rachel and Edward Mahan migrated to Bibb County, Alabama from Sevier County, Tennessee. They lived on the Watershed of Mahan's Creek for the remainder of their lives.

Edward Mahan was listed as the head of household in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 Federal Census of Bibb County, Alabama.

Edward Mahan was buried in the Smith-Mahan Cemetery on Mahan's Creek.
