  1. […] Alabama Town was in the Knight and Whetstone neighborhood, west of Buyckville. At this town, Joel Spigener and his family attended a Green Corn Dance. […]

    1. I am a descendant of Joel Spigener’s sister Christianah Spigener Jackson. Christianah and her husband John Jackson lived across the river from Joel and his family in the town now known as Holtville Alabama. Christianah was born in 1811 and died in 1853 from giving birth to John George Jackson. She and her husband John Jackson are buried at Ebenezer Church off of Hogan road just a few miles from Holtville. We have letters that Christianah wrote to her mother that was living in a new formed colony in South Carolina.
