Looks like Norris may be your maiden name. Are you kin to the Toliver Norris family?

I enjoyed reading the history of Troy/Pike. I am most interested in any pictures available of the Love tavern , Ann (Granny ) Love and her son Capt AP Love.

Something interesting I noticed about the photo of the 1900 Troy Normal School faculty: many of the current buildings at Troy University bear the names of some of the teachers’ names that I can make out from the picture (Cowart, Pace, Gardner, McCartha, Shackleford, and Wright). I assume these are the ones the buildings were named for?

Fascinating article. My Broadway ancestors were in Troy in 1850. Wm. A. and his wife, Susan, were listed apart from their children, who appeared to be with a Dr. I suspect the children may have had a communicable disease so had to be isolated.

Thank you for sharing these interesting historical facts about Alabama, Betty. I am enjoying reading & learning.
My ancestors (Lee, Coskrey, Evans, and Smith) settled and still farm this area. I love the sound of the wind whispering through the trees at night.

I enjoyed reading this! I’m actually a descendant of AP Love. I’m going to do more research on this topic, eventually I will visit Troy, Alabama.
