Connie, list, I am going to talk a little about this book, A HISTORY OF MULBERRY CHURCH 1818-1968 because people are familiar with 'mulberry creek' which this book says runs it's course some thirty miles before joining the flow of the Alabama River. and the small town of Stanton settled on the railroads.and on the main Elyton Road..... has the creek running right next to it too...and this church is on over from there.the book says the Mulberry settlement was on the upper reaches of Mulberry Creek,...but that was the two main roads traveled then, one called the Elyton Road (Elyton Al was county seat of Jefferson County then) and the other was called The Fort Jackson road going east to west..(.to Tuscaloosa)...the railroad came through there to Montgomery in 1852...then Old Maplesville started moving to the railroad, to what was called new Maplesville (the Depot). (remains today) lots of the community went to Mulberry Church. It lists 55 pastors. Says the church was settled before Al became a state...settled by people from Ga and Edgefield Co S.C. mostly.About the time the church was organized.., the Mulberry settlement was incorporated into the confines of a new county, created by the Alabama Territorial Legislature sitting at St Stephens, on Feb 7 1818.The name of the new county was Cahawba, and the temporary seat of Justice was at The Falls, later known as Centreville.It was one of the first counties to be created. The Alabama Territory became the State of Alabama on Dec 14th, 1819. It goes on to tell about Gov.Bibb and his fall from a horse in 1820, resulting in his death and the county being changed to Bibb in his honor that same year,...and for fifty glorious years this church was in Bibb county. until 1868 when it became Chilton. It was written by Ulysses H. Abrams and published by Times Printing Co Montevallo, Al. I purchased second printing in 1995. Gotta run, now. Stella
