we parked on the edge of the road and walked through the snaky
woods to the beach which was covered
with tiny white stones, absolutely beautiful. We had no idea that our ancestors had to cross this to get into Montgomery
County in the 1820s. It was a borderline of the Creek Nation
and the famous Red Sticks. If you google it, you can learn more!!
I have made many
contributions
to Montgomery's history page and also to other states via http://www.usgenweb.com/.

The land bordering on the creek is rich, and here are their fields.5 ....
said to have been on the south bank of Line Creek,
Montgomery. Alabama River, Catoma Creek, Line Creek, Little Catoma Creek, Patsaliga Creek, Pintlala Creek, Ramer Creek, Tallapoosa River, Town Creek ..

puzzle. Not only is it the only whitewater run on Sand Mountain that does not flow into .

Two of my mother's ancestors arrived on the first
Mayflower, Edward Doty and Samuel Fuller. Google them and learn more!
Then one of my daddy's ancestors was hanged, drawn and quartered by King Phillip, they were all over
New England area in the 1600s, Pennsylvania 1700s, Ohio and Kentucky 1800s. Fantastic history here.
Mom's line ventured down through Virginia and the new colonies of the Carolinas in
1600 and 1700 and into 1800 Alabama.
The
picture above is my dad's Aunt Martha Little. Her mother was Catherine G. Weatherford, a daughter of Charles Weatherford
who was not able to make bond for Catherines marriage because he was probably in Alabama. Martha's sister was also named Catherine
and was my dad's granny. The sisters just happened to marry brothers of the Little family of Kentucky. Catherine's father
was John C. Wright of Charlotte VA so she named her son, John Wright Little and his daughter was called Lattie.
This
Little family left SC in 1798 and began that settlement in 1802, while the other brothers went south towards Alabama.
The Weatherfords also left VA and went to GA and AL to enjoy the fresh soil for their plantations, which was only about $2.00
acre...
