"Crossroads: The Early Years of Monroe County" by Kathy McCoy Introduces the First Monroe Countians as Native Americans--gives background history of the early settlement of Monroe County. Second Chapter is on the Colonial Frontier--the MS Territory, the settlement of the Spanish, the five major tribes that settled this area of AL, the frontier and what was going on; the French along the Tombigbee; the Scots and the English; the Highlanders; the known settlements; and Charles & John Weatherford; and leads up to the background info on the Creek Nation and the Creek Indian War; the fourth chapter deals with life along the Federal Road and history surrounding it and the families who settled it and traveled it--mentions McDavid's Hotel; Stewart; Downey; People or Peebles; Hollinger; McMillan; Austill; Atkinson; Cornell; and others. It's got info on many different places and people that inhabited early Monroe County. A must read and must have for any historian's book shelf and presented in a format that would be wonderful for teachers and students of any age; especially our 4th to 6th grade level! From the Federal Road, she goes into info about the Great Migration to the WBTS; and then Winds of Change--Reconstruction, so you will find alot of useful historical information within the covers of one book!

An article about James Henry Rowell, one about Stephen Rowell, Isham McKinley, none for Turberville, one on John Bayles, two for Lewis Franklin Bryant, none for Stabler. You may want to check with the Monroe County Historical Society regarding the book.
