Can anyone tell me if Hokes Bluff part of Gadsden or Attalla were in ever in Benton (Calhoun), or Cherokee before Etowah? I live in S. TX and have not been to the above areas. Eliza A. Hawkins b. 1826, SC and Samuel S. Kelly b. 1826 SC, were married in Benton Co., in 1850. On Cherokee Census in 1860 and Etowah in 1870. I am looking for their parents. I also had Tidmore's in Etowah for which Tidmore Bend on the Coosa River is named.
