22. Montgomery County, Alabama History When the Alabama Lands were offered for sale in 1817, two groups of The Georgians abandoned the Alabama Town and built the town of East Alabama, http://www.mc-ala.org/history.htm

Montgomery County is the fourth largest of the 67 counties in the state of Alabama. Only Jefferson, Mobile, and Madison counties have larger populations. Montgomery County's population, according to the 1990 census was 209,085. Montgomery County has a very colorful background. Settlers first began to populate the area in the early 1800s. The county of Montgomery was created by an Act of the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory on December 6, 1816. It was carved out of Monroe County and originally embraced the whole of central Alabama, east of the ridge dividing the Tuscaloosa and Tombigbee Rivers from the Cahaba River, west of the Okfuskee and Coosa, and south of the mountains of Blount. However, it was soon subdivided and portions were set apart which made up Elmore, Bullock, and Crenshaw counties. Montgomery County was named in memory of Major Lemuel P. Montgomery, of Virginia, who fell at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, on March 27, 1814. He was shot in the head by a Redstick musketball, becoming the first man to die in the battle. A statue of Major Montgomery graces the entrance of the Montgomery County Courthouse, located at 251 S. Lawrence St. The lands of Montgomery County were put up for auction at the Federal Land Office in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1816. Larger parcels were sold to developers who subdivided the land into lots for urban commercial and residential use, predetermining a major city on the banks of the Alabama River at Montgomery.

Section 508 COMMAND HISTORY of USS ALABAMA (SSBN 731) USS ALABAMA (SSBN 731) is the sixth TRIDENT class nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarine, and the fifth United States ship to bear the name. The keel was laid 14 October 1980, and the crew was formed in July 1983. On 19 May 1984, Mrs. Barbara Dickinson , wife of The Honorable William L. Dickinson, United States Representative from Alabama, christened ALABAMA during launching ceremonies held in Groton, Connecticut. Builders Sea Trials were conducted between February and April 1985. Each sea trial set a record for efficiency and the ship was delivered sixty-eight days early. On 25 May 1985, USS ALABAMA was commissioned at Naval Underwater Systems Center, New London, Connecticut. Vice Admiral B. M. Kauderer, USN, was the Commissioning Officer. The principal speakers included Congressman Dickinson; The Honorable Jeremiah Denton, United States Senator from Alabama; Admiral Kinnaird R. McKee, USN; and Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN (Ret.), a native Alabamian and former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. ALABAMA then commenced shakedown operations and underwent a series of ship-wide inspections. The Blue crew completed a Demonstration and Shakedown Operation (DASO) and launched the ship's first TRIDENT (C-4) missile. In July 1985, the Gold crew relieved the Blue crew and completed the shakedown schedule. In October 1985 the Blue crew relieved the Gold crew to take USS ALABAMA back into the shipyard at Electric Boat for Post Shakedown Availability (PSA). Following PSA, USS ALABAMA transited to Mobile in February 1986 to participate in Mardi Gras festivities. The Gold crew relieved the Blue crew in Mobile and commenced the voyage to their new homeport in Bangor, Washington.

Notable Women in Alabama History By: Vickie R. Rumble Eugenia Levy Phillips Although Eugenia Levy Phillips was not a native-born Alabamian, she and her husband played a big part in Alabama history, partly becaues of Eugenia's staunch support of the Confederacy, and partly because of her husband's political ties to the state. Eugenia Phillips was born in Charleston, SC, in 1820 to parents, Jacob C. Levy and Fannie Yates Levy. She was one of six daughters who were very well educated for the times. Jacob brought up his children in the Jewish faith and apparently encouarged their individuality. At age l6 Eugenia married a prominent Jewish businessman, Philip Phillips, who was l3 years her senior. By the time of their marriage he had already established himself in a successful law practice in Mobile. Philip Phillips was a successful Mobile attorney and he and Eugenia lived there for the next l8 years. Eugenia gave birth to nine children, seven of whom were born in Mobile. The family suffered financial setbacks during their time in Mobile such as the loss of their home and possessions in a horrible fire, but Philip always managed to recoup their losses. Philip served as chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, served two terms in the Alabama State Legislature, and upon being elected to Congress in 1853 he moved his family to Washington, DC. Eugenia delighted in the social whirl of the capital and there gave birth to her last two children. While Eugenia delighted in the many parties Philip established a very successful political career, but in 1855 he left politics, and returned to private practice in Washington.

34. Crossville Alabama Web Site. Crossville alabama history, Mayor and Town Council, and local news. History Crossville Alabama. . . Crossville is a small town on Sand Mountain in http://www.crossvillealabama.com/town.html

History Crossville Alabama Crossville is a small town on Sand Mountain in Northeast Alabama, yet it is very rich in history and tradition. Andrew Jackson battled the Creek Indians during the early 1800's in parts of this area because 250 Alabamians had been brutally murdered by the Indians. Later Cherokee Indians inhabited parts of North Alabama, but they too were eventually pushed out as more American settlers moved in. This area of Alabama attracted early settlers because of the rich soil, nearby rivers and streams, bountiful game and good climate. Most settlers moved down from parts of Georgia and Tennessee to establish the current towns and communities of North Alabama. The little village of Crossville was named by James A. Copeland, because of the many crossroads in the area. In 1888, G.W. Justice established the first business in Crossville, and then in 1903 W.B. Jones installed machinery for his cotton mills. In the middle 1800's mail was brought through Crossville from Rome, Georgia and Guntersville, Alabama by Stage Coach. Soon the town had its first U.S. Post Office, with A.C. Copeland serving as the first Postmaster. The first church to be established in the Crossville area was a Methodist Episcopal Church, called Pine Bark Church. It was formed just before the War between the States. The first Baptist Church of the community was established in 1892 at Union Grove. Later in 1925 several people started meeting at the high school and formed the First Baptist Church of Crossville. A new sanctuary was built in 1926.

Reynolds Family Research in the State of Alabama Jackson County, Alabama History HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA by John Robert Kennamer, Decatur, Al 1935: Condensed by Josephine Lindsay Bass on July 26, 1996. The earliest white trappers and hunters to visit this territory would often build a hut for shelter and after a short time return laden with his furs and skins to the markets on the eastern coast. His only neighbor was the Cherokee Indian with whom he exchanged knives, guns, and other articles for skins and furs. None of these has left us a record who was first to visit this land. It is said David CROCKETT left his name on a tree in upper Paint Rock Valley, but he has left no record of his impression as he stood upon some lofty hill-top in the wilds that later became Jackson County. The valleys of the Tennessee, Paint Rock and the low level lands lying along Crow, Mud and Sauta Creeks were covered with dense cane-brakes, brushwood and briers matted together with vines; and towering above all this were large oak, poplar, gum and other trees, with a lake or lagoon here and there. The ridges and coves which were bordered by the Cumberland, Sand, and Gunter's Mountain were fertile and had a luxuriant growth of cane and forest. The mountain tops were better suited for the early settler to make his home, with no undergrowth except tall grass with trees far enough apart that one could drive a team and wagon for miles without a road. Deer were plentiful and turkeys as numerous as chickens are at the present time. Upon the waters bevies of ducks, geese, and other wild fowls dived and circled in play. One has described these mountains as follows: "The mountain air sighed through the tree tops as pure and sweet as the breath of a maiden; squirrels gambled in the forest trees; turkeys gobbled and strutted on the mountains; eagles screamed from their lofty perch on towering cliffs; and doves cooed their story of love on every hill and in every dale."

I picked up a little Alabama history on these trips, but only recently did I learn how much I didn't know. At the invitation of an Alabama cousin, I spent last May Day in a cow pasture in Blount County, Alabama, witnessing a Civil War re-enactment. There I discovered the hidden history of the civil war inside the state of Alabama. Why did I go? Because I was curious about family history that was radically at odds with what I had always assumed was true. As a child I thought every Southern family had a Confederate ancestor. I never asked my grandmother who our's was, or if I did, she didn't tell me. Over forty years later I found out why.
