The Journal-Record - Bicentennial Edition Thursday, July 1, 1976 Section B, Page 10 MOSS LINEAGE CAME FROM S.C. The MOSS lineage was traced to Barnett MOSS of South Carolina, according to Miss Edith EAGAN, a descendant of the family who was a prominent Winfield teacher at the City High School until here retirement a few years ago. Barnett MOSS was married to Ellen KUYKENDALL. Fourteen children were born into this family, among them Simon Wiley Tucker MOSS, who was born in Fayette County and married to Martha Jane NORTHAM, also of Fayette County. They had one child, Mary Ella MOSS, who was born near BOBO School, where the family lived until their coming to Needmore, now Winfield, in 1887. S. W. MOSS served as Mayor and Town Councilman, Deacon in the Missionary Baptist Church and his business activities included farming, operating a grist mill and a general merchandise store. Mrs. MOSS was active in church work also, and spent much of her time administering to the needy and sick of the community. Mary Ella MOSS was married to John C. EAGAN of Greenfield, Tennessee and Winfield, in 1890. to this marriage was born four children, Barney Lee, Eula Pearl, Edgar, and Edith EGAN. Eula P. EGAN was worked in various levels of education in the States of Alabama and Mississippi. She received her A. B. degree from Judson College, her M. A. degree from Columbia University and her Ph.D. degree from Peabody College. Edith EGAN taught in both the Hamilton and Winfield High Schools. She received her A. B. degree from Judson and her M. A. degree from the University of Alabama.

The Journal-Record - Bicentennial Edition Thursday, July 1, 1976 Section B, Page 1 PIKEVILLE AND HAMILTON HAVE SERVED AS MARION COUNTY SEATS Marion County, which is one of the original counties of Alabama having been formed in Territorial days, has had only two county sites (sic), the first being Pikeville, which ended in 1882, and Hamilton which has been the county seat since 1882. In 188 an election was held in Marion County to select a new county site (sic), and the two locations proposed were "Center" which was in an unsettled woods about six miles east of "Toll Gate" which was a post office and an old settled point on the old Military Road and where Captain A. J. HAMILTON had lately moved to from Pikeville and opened up an old abandoned pre-Civil War Plantation. Toll Gate won the election and a new Court House was erected following which the court, court officials and records were moved. The name of the location was changed in honor of Captain A. J. HAMILTON, who donated forty acres of his plantation to be sold in lots to help cover the cost of building the courthouse. At this time there was one business place, but soon others came and the town began to grow. Toll Gate Post Office was changed to Hamilton Post Office November 17, 1882 with W. R. WHIRE continuing as Postmaster. There was one mail delivery a week coming from Aberdeen, Mississippi by horseback almost fifty miles a day. There have been three Courthouses in Marion County. The first, built in 1882, was destroyed by fire in April 1887. It was a wooden structure, built of clear heart pine lumber, with four brick chimneys and wide porches on the north and south sides, both up and down stairs. With this fire which destroyed the courthouse were lost all the county records. The courthouse which replaced the first one was also a wood building and used up to 1902, when it was rolled west across the street from the court square and converted into a hotel building, and later was burned down in a fire which swept the west side of town in 1912. The stone building was begun in 1901 and completed in 1902, and later enlarged by building east and west wings. After the railroad was built through Guin in 1887 and 1888 a daily mail was established leaving Hamilton in the morning and returning in the evening. The first school was taught in 1884 in a little plank house at the foot of Mitchell Hill (West Bexar Street) by Jim WHITE. The next year Doctor KEY and his daughter Miss Elliott KEY taught the school. There was no public money, and all the scholars were called on to pay tuition fees which supported the school and paid the teachers. The first high school was organized about 1889 with a professor FINDLEY (SON-IN-LAW OF DR. KEY) as the principal. He was a graduate of the Florence State Normal School and Miss Elliott KEY was his assistant. At first the only church was the Methodist and until the wooden church was built in 1888, services were upstairs in the court room of the courthouse. Years later the Baptist church was built, then later the Christian. When Hamilton became the county site (sic) in the 1880 election, there was one store, a partnership business by Captain A. J. HAMILTON and Postmaster W. R. WHITE. After the courthouse was built, this partnership was ended and W. R. WHITE continued in business for himself (for the rest of his life). Soon after FRAZIER and GASTE established businesses at the county site (sic), William NEAL came from Pikeville to go into business and the next year L. J. CLARK opened a store, which the following year he sold to G. B. MIXON. The MIXON business from father to son has continued over the years. Until the railroad was built across the south side of the county, with Guin as the nearest depot, goods were hauled in by wagons from Aberdeen and Columbus, Mississippi, forty and seventy miles away or from East Port, Mississippi on the Tennessee River. Aberdeen was the nearest point 45 miles away and it took all of a week to make the round trip there and back.

The Journal-Record Bicentennial Edition Thursday, July 1, 1976 Section C, Page 3 BEAR CREEK WAS ONCE CALLED ALLEN'S FACTORY BEFORE WAR Bear Creek was first call(sic) Allens Factory. It was operated by Langdon ALLEN, and he represented Marion County in the Secession Convention at Montgomery in 1860. The factory was burned during the closing years of the Civil War but was rebuilt in 1868. It was known as L. C. Allen and Company. It was capitalized at $20,000 and was run by water power from Bear Creek. The Factory make cotton yarn and operated 640 spindles with 30 hands employed and used 280 bales of cotton each year. The second factory was known as the Fall Mills Manufacturing Company. It was two and one half miles from Allen's Factory and also used water power to operate. It was capitalized at $15,000 and started operation in 1877. It used 6000 pounds of cotton per day and 600 bales each year. Bear Creek also had a flour mill to which farmers from 25 to 50 miles away carried their wheat and had it made into flour. No definite date can be fixed as to when it was established, but some of the old buildings were standing in the late 1920s. The original Bear Creek was about one mile down the creek west of the present town. This was during the Civil War, and just prior to the starting of the present town of Bear Creek. Thee was one store one mile south of Bear Creek at that time [known] as Goddard, and was operated by James DONALDSON. then in the late 1880's and early 1900's a railroad known as the Northern Alabama was built to Parrish, Alabama and to Sheffield, Alabama. J. R. PHILLIPS moved from Thorn Hill to the present town of Bear Creek and built a nice rock building and went into the merchantile (sic) business with good success. He reared a large family of boys and girls. Other early settlers were Cpt. FLIPPO, who operated a grist mill, Mr. HULL, Mr. John DUNDAN, who built a cotton gin, Mr. BARKER, who operated a blacksmith shop and Mr. HATCHER, who put up a hotel. Capt. SMITH was a section foreman. So with all these early settlers the town grew rapidly. A Methodist Church was built and soon after the Church of Christ. Col. BROCK went into the merchantile(sic) business. Dutch PHILLIP in the grocery business. Dutch John LOGAN was appointed postmaster, and I. B. JOHNSON was rural carrier for years. All these citizens and many more with large families called for a school. A two story frame building was erected but only rooms on the ground floor were used for some years. it was a two-teacher school. About this time there were hundreds of acres of level land north and west of Bear Creek. They wee thought to be of little value, craw-fishy and not fertile. A number of families began to settle this land purchased from $1.00 to $10.00 per acre. As they improved the soil and increased the average yield and built nice homes more people moved in. The town became a flourishing little place. It was a trade center for miles around. Since there was no I. C. Railroad in this area at this time, Hackleburg, Wiginton, and even as far down as Hodges used Bear Creek as their trade and shipping center. The GODDARDS and TOBYS who operated a livery stable carried passengers to various places. The prosperity of those in town and the farmers around, such as MARROWS, MANNS, HOWARDS, FAULKNERS, PARTIANS, VICKERYS, COALSONS and WOODS and a number over in the fork of the Creek, demanded a bigger and better school, so an application was made and now one of the county high schools is there. It is one of the best in the county.

The Journal-Record Bicentennial Edition Thursday, July 1, 1976 Section B, Page 5 WHITE ROCK, NEAR HAMILTON, WAS ONCE A PRISON CAMP DURING CIVIL WAR DAYS White Rock, located about 1 mile north of Hamilton, just off Highway 43, is noted for having been a prison camp during the Civil War. The location is appropriately named, as it consists of a series of white rock bluffs that stretch out along the Buttahatchee. White Rock is also noted as the site where the notorious Ham Carpenter was put to death. Carpenter, a southerner, became a feared terrorist during the Civil War. He not only was opposed to those of the Yankee team wishing to stay neutral, but to each and every one wanting to stay neutral on the general situation. Carpenter became renowned as he covered the countryside burning people out of their homes, destroying their life supporting crops, and worst of all, killing many innocent people. He became a self-appointed truant officer, picking up men who did not want to fight and giving them only a short time to join his side. If they refused, they were killed. Carpenter was known and feared all through Northwest Alabama. He was a mean man, brutally killing men, women and children as he and his bad of men crossed the country-side. The terrorist finally struck one time too many when he attacked a Colonel's wife and left her to die, along with a baby boy. The Colonel, upon finding his wife and son, gathered the men of the community and set out to capture Carpenter. In a short time, the enraged Colonel and his men captured Carpenter and his entire band of men. Carpenter was taken to the camp at White Rock where he was put to his death. Fayette Co.

Hi. I subscribed to this list in the hopes of finding my Price relatives in Fayette, Ala. and the surrounding areas. At ancestry.com I found a tree for what appeared to be my family there but when I contacted one of the members, she seemed pretty sure that we aren't related. However, I talked to my Uncle today and lo, and behold, we are related! My great great grandfather was her grandfather's brother. Hmmm, not sure exactly what that makes us (I'm new to this 'related' stuff!) but boy, it sure is good to find more family! If there are any more Price members on the list from around Fayette, Winfield, I would love to hear from you! Thanks Denise Price Boyd

Hi list...was on this site the other nite: www.ancientfaces.com It has several hundred old photos....I thought there might be some family surnames that someone could connect with. Pam researching: Vaughan, Benton

Today there was correspondence referring to Newell books and other information for different Alabama counties. I suppose I missed some of the correspondence that was coming through because I really didn't quite understand what this was referring to. Family line that I am interested in came from Fayette County, Al. As I understand it the records for Fayette were destroyed at some point therefore there would be NO records of a will, births, deaths for someone who had died in 1830. If I am wrong about this, I would appreciate someone correcting me. BOUCHER is family line. Thanks, Sylvia

New list information forwarded from Libbie Griffin: Are you planning to travel to the homeplaces of your ancestors? Or have you already become an experienced traveling genealogist? Or do you live in an area many people visit to search for their ancestors? If so, you are invited to participate in two new lists on Rootsweb. GEN-TRAVEL-US and GEN-TRAVEL-EUROPE are lists created for sharing travel information for genealogists. Topics for the list include: - basic information such as the location and hours of local libraries and government offices. - advice about good places to stay, to eat, etc. - information about getting around, connecting to the internet, coping in a foreign land or strange city, etc. - any other question, recommendation or opinion related to traveling in search of your ancestors. People living in destination areas are expecially encourgaged to join the lists. Be a goodwill ambassador for your town or country by answering the questions of visitors. By participating you may make some new long-distance friendships. Europeans planning to visit the U.S. (not necessarily for genealogical purposes) will surely also find many friendly Americans willing to answer questions. Experienced travelers are encouraged to join one or both lists. Please share your opinions and the benefit of your experience with others. These lists are available in both regular and digest modes. To join, just send the word "subscribe" to: GEN-TRAVEL-US-L-request@rootsweb.com (for the U.S. list) or GEN-TRAVEL-EUROPE-L-request@rootsweb.com (for all of Europe including the British Isles.) For the digest mode, substitute the letter D for -L- above. If you have questions about either list, contact Libbie Griffin: Libbie@blazenetme.net. Fayette Co.
