    1. Re: [ALCULLMA] new post
    2. I finely found my book on Cullman AL. The woman was cripple and she wrote this book on Cullman in 1971 her name is Margaret Jean Jones. She is the daughter of Shelmer B, and Alma Ruth Ford Jones. She wrote a great article on Jones valley. I will try to give you some of the detail on Jones Chapel.The name who is credited with starting this area is a man name Turkeytail Jones, in 1812. Quoting from her book," In 1812, shortly before the Creek Indian war, Turkey tail Jones migrated from Jamestown , Virginia to the Mississippi Territory where became impressed with the remote wilderness area that was soon destined to march through the pages of history as Jones Chapel. With the howl of wolves mingling with the ring of his axe, he built a cabin where the Vance farm is now located and set about clearing the forest of cropland.". There are some more Jones mention her book. None that you mention in your list. Frances
