Amy, That parcel description Township 8N, Range 11E, Section 15, appears that it will be in what is now Conecuh County. As a matter of fact, the area is known as "Deans", and is named such on many maps of the area. This is the extreme northern tip of Conecuh County that fits in between Monroe County to the west and Butler County to the east. Look for the intersection of County Highways 29 and 33. http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/counties/conecuh.html Joe C.
