Check the Alabama GebWeb county page for county formation dates. Colbert wasn't formed until 1867. That area was Lawrence and Franklin counties until then. From 1897-1817, Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It has never been a plantation. The Alexander's owned a general merchandise store downtown where the old city hall once was, corner of 1st and main. When they passed away the single story house was sold to the Bishop's who immediately began expansion. When 3rd floor was being done the house would shake and they refused to continue until fixed. It was never fixed. The Bishop's live behind in a house which was a rental house. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
