I just went to this URL: http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/index.html and it has several DOWNLOADABLE historic maps. I did not check farther but there seems to be several that can be gotten but I didn't go that far. I just looked at a map "After 1900" and could pan/ resize/zoom/etc directly on screen so these are fine definition copies. have fun and che-ers BB On Oct 13, 2006, at 11:14 AM, jselliott37@yahoo.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YS.2ADI/3108.1.1.2 > > Message Board Post: > > Have been searching the past few days for a circa 1955 map of Henry > County--pre-Walter F.

The William Brown mentioned in your e-mail - was he from Harris Co., Georgia, by any chance? If so, he was probably related to my line of Browns who were in Harris Co., GA and then my gg grandfather, Ezekiel Brown, Jr. moved his family to Henry Co., AL. Ever hear of that family in Henry Co.? Right off the top of my head, I can only think of the name, Franklin Brown as being one of the sons. Of course, Ezekiel's daughter, Amanda M.

Good to be back...You have brought forth an item that is rare and that I too would be interested in, a pre-1963 Henry County, Alabama map!! If anybody out there has one of these, please let it be known. Okay??? Another older name for the lake is Lake Chattahoochee used in the 1960s soon after the "backwaters" were formed. I was up in age before people in Henry County called it Lake Eufaula--just the backwaters. The fact about Chattahoochee meaning "Painted rock or stone" comes from FLOWING THROUGH TIME, by Lynn Willoughby--an excellent read for anyone interested in the river culture that existed from Columbus to Apalachicola.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YS.2ADI/3108.1 Message Board Post: The Corps of Engineers spent eighty-six million dollars building the Walter F. George Lock and Dam that began in 1955 and was completed in 1963. It was built across the bold and swift Chattahoochee River which according to the late Henry County historian William W. Nordan was then the third swiftest river in the world. One historian states that Chattahoochee means “painted rock” in the native tongue of the Creeks. It was built at Fort Gaines, Georgia, established as a military outpost for protection of white settlers against Native Americans in 1816. The dam is just north of the old Franklin Landing. Franklin, Henry County, Alabama was the first settlement in the county with the first migration made in 1816 by William Brown and George Gamble. The dam is known locally as the “Fort Gaines Dam” or “the dam at Fort Gaines.” A hydroelectric dam, the late Fort Gaines historian P. C. King Jr. states in FORT GAINES AND ENVIRONS, 1976, that the “main purpose of this huge dam was to make the Chattahoochee River navigable to Columbus, Georgia.” The shoreline was drastically changed north of the dam creating a 46,000 acre lake that has no official name approved by Congress. Its most common name is Lake Eufaula, but is also known as Lake Walter F. George and the Walter F. George Reservoir. The “backwaters”, what the area is often called and what the lake was called in the early 1960s covered many of the lands of original settlers. This covered area was where the earliest settlers landed once entering the Alabama Territory (1817-1819) and the State of Alabama after December 14, 1819. When Brown and Gamble entered the area is was Washington County, Mississippi Territory. During the territorial years it was Conecuh County. Two prominent features of historical interest that is now under Lake Eufaula are the old frontier community of Otho, Alabama (post office 1854-1905). By the time the land was flooded, Otho had already become one of the “lost” towns of Henry County. Another place of interest is Prospect Bluff where an early Creek Indian town existed and a place where settlers bought land and congregated around. I cannot prove it by document, but would say that landowners were compensated for the flooded land. When the Corps of Engineers built the Abbie Creek Public Use Area east of Haleburg where the old Yatta Abba Creek enters the river negotiations were made with landowner Otis Money for purchase. There was a wrangle over this and I think after Mr. Money refused the “fair market value” of the land it was condemned by the United States government and ceased for public use. Again, I can not document this as fact either. Just speaking from memory and supposition alone. Perhaps another researcher can answer this question.

Have any of you researching in this area run across these names in this little poem? Thomas Didymous This is a Richards Christopher Holmes Pete "Cat" Wallace and... Harrison Jones This was a little poem a Richards' researcher said he kept hearing passed down through his family. His Richards were from the Eufaula area; and, so were mine; but, I cannot see any connection other than some notes that are wrong on his and on my ancestor: Thomas Dallas "T. D." Richards--this is my Irish ancestor from Henry/Barbour County and is buried at County Line Primitive Baptist Church; was in the War of 1812; born about 1776 in Ireland; an early land surveyor if our mother county, Henry County, Alabama. He had a half-brother, William Richards of Coosa County, Alabama. I am trying to learn who the Jacob J. Richards, Justice of the Peace in Coosa County, Alabama is and if he connects to my line or the other researcher's. Any help will be appreciated. Thomas Didymous "T.D." Richards--this is the ancestor from the man from out West's ancestor NOTE: These are NOT the same person; but, people have been mixing and matching in their research and often connect things that aren't correct. As far as we know, there is no connection whatsoever between these Richards lines. Ceya Minder
