  DEATH: "HUNTSVILLE ADVOCATE", published March 15, 1872. Died at residence of J. K. Rainey, Limestone County, Alabama James W. Qualls. It does not give how he died.
  Sources: Remembered by William (Billy) Roberts, grandson of Mollie Baker Rose, who was four years old at the time on the river trip. She told her Grandson what she remembered. After the War Between the States, some of the Baker family ran a ferry on the Tocca River. Whether from the Tocca or Oconee River, several families along with many returning Confederate soldiers, decided to pack up everything they owned and post a sign GTT (Gone to Texas). The families of James Qualls and James Baker joined a flotilla of flat-bottomed boats down the river to the Tennessee River to the west. When they left Tennessee, they intended to go to Texas. Upon reaching the dangerous shoals in the area of Decatur, Alabama, the women of the party decided they had gone far enough. The river was not controlled as it is today by various dams and lakes. It was very hazardous to try to cross these shoals areas. Several of the boats were destroyed and women and children drowned. The remaining women of the flotilla issued an ultimatum. We go no further! An Indian translation of the word "Alabama" means "Here we rest". The James Qualls family and the James Baker family went ashore in the Decatur area and eventually settled in Morgan and Limestone Counties of north Alabama.
