Hi, Leslie, Clanton was in Autauga County in 1856. However, if they lived North of town and you don't find them, try Shelby County. The Shelby County and Autauga line was somewhere around Clanton. I don't have a precise map at that time. I know Coopers which is 5 miles South of Clanton was in Autauga because that is where my ancestors settled. Irma J.
