I found that there is a Shady Grove 2nd Baptist Church in West Blocton on Grey Hill Road, but looking in the Baptists of Bibb County Book he is not listed in that cemetery. (But there are 34 unidentified graves there.) Have you been to that one? The book gives the directions as Six miles south east from Greenpond and one mile east from Greyhill, on Shades Creek.

My great great grandfather Middleton Durbin is buried there. I am looking for his father. William Durbin Approx 1785 - 1870? There are several unmarked graves there. I have looked on the web site for that cemetery and found nothing. Is there any other place that I might go to find out, or do any of you have any information on where he is.

Bloody Bibb has one story that was "handed down" about the Yankee invasion of Bibb Co. The best I can tell the other articles date from about 1880 to 1964. The copyright is 1985 and was published by Elam Enterprises., Inc. Moonshine 'Till Dawn begins with V.D. Elam's birth on Feb. 25, 1928.

V. D. Elam died Nov. 1, 2004.?I don't know if his?family still has?any of his?books for sale. I purchased copies at the Brent-Centreville Library years ago. The foreword states that Moonshine 'Till Dawn is an autobiographically oriented true story based on things he did from childhood. He further states that all the stories in the book are not directly connected with his life and there could be some unintentional discrepancies. In the Acknowledgments for Bloody Bibb he states that his information was acquired from stories in The Montgomery Advertiser, The Birmingham News, The Birmingham Post-Herald, The West Blocton Messenger, The Bibb Blade, and various other newspapers. It is a collection of stories about people and what happened to them in Bibb Co. Some of the names of the characters?were changed. There is no index in either book which makes look-ups almost impossible. Jacque

Abe books has the Moonshine book for $70. For those that don't know it is sort of an autobiography of Mr. Elam about his military time and Bibb County Supposedly it is the source of Bloody Bibb.
