My 3-G grandfather, Hezekiah Moor(e), who migrated in the early 1800’s to what is now Leeds, Alabama, on land given him by Andrew Jackson for his service as a Tennessee Volunteer in the Creek War, built a two-story log cabin that included a stockade with gunports to defend against Indian attacks. His 2 square miles of property became downtown Leeds, and he gave part of his farm to his church, which became Cedar Grove Baptist Church, where he and many of his family are buried. I’d share his photo if this page allowed it.
