In 1807, in Greene County, Tennessee, William Jolly bought land.
In the month of March, 1819, the families of William Jolly, Byrd and his brother Abner Deatherage and most of
their children, married and single, landed their flatboats at Southwest Point. They travelled down Riley’s Creek
Valley until they found land that suited them. They squatted, built homes, and awaited time for the sale. On 7
Nov 1820, William Jolly bought the north half of section nine, 1st township, west of the meridian Hiawassee
District for $2.00 an acre. The summer of 1819 he built a huge two-story house with 12-14 rooms.

12. Dudley JOLLY was born about 1736. He died Apr or May 1821 in Roane County, Tennessee and was buried in Shiloh Cemetery.
Gleaned from notes from Darla Rohan:
William Jolly’s father was Dudley, who lived with William’s family and had moved to Roane county with them.
Dudley died in the spring, April-May of 1821. No one seems to know who his wife was or how many children
there were.
He enlisted for militia service from Amelia County, Virginia in 1756 and one lists his age as 19 while another as
20. It is logical to assume he was born in 1736. He is probably burried at Shiloh Cemetery, as the church was
organized in 1821. However, there is no maker.
There are stories handed down about a Chief John Jolly and their being Cherokee blood in this Jolly family.
14. James WHEELER was born about 1747 in Virginia. He died 28 Jul 1807. James married Margaret WHEELER about 1776.
