Peggy, Marshall Co., AL has an area that is on Sand Mountain. The towns are Albertville and Boaz. US Highway 431 runs through both those towns. This highway comes thru Huntsville, then to Guntersville, then Albertville, then Boaz, etc. A family by the name of Cobb had a sorghum mill by the side of the highway between Guntersville and Albertville. They were reputed to make very good sorghum and peoplee came from miles around to buy it. I am a native of this area. I live in Arab. There were a number of Nerrens at Union Grove (where I attended grades 1-9) and my first-grade teacher was a Miss Jimmie Nerren (I believe she spelled it Nearen). I am now 67, so that was many years ago. Betty Huggins At 08:08 AM 5/17/99 EDT, [email protected] wrote: >Ken, thanks for your explanation on Sand Mountain.
