I would have to guess that most of Hokes Bluff was in Calhoun Co. previous to 1867. I will also say that the Hokes Bluff Cemetery contains several older Tidmore burial sites...seems like dating to the early 1800's. Would you like me to "check it out" for you? It's not 5 miles from my house. Michael L.
