My ggg grandfather was there in 1837 – it is where he married. David McMahon was born in SC (as were his parents). He was 23 years old at the time. I am not sure when they arrived in Alabama – but know they moved on into Mississippi around 1841.
Old Uncle Joe Cleveland was probably Joseph Cleveland who married Martha “Patsy” Meeks and who had settled in Tuscaloosa Co., AL in the early 1820s. His daughter Lucinda married Meredith Taylor Crossland.

Terri Hawkins Darby, there is an old Indian burial ground along choccolocco creek out here. Me and some friends went to it when we were teenagers. It’s really cool.!!

I believe that my McPherson family were among the early settlers of this area
I believe we could be kin, as my grandfather was a McPherson and his mother was a Johnson and lived their lives in Alabama.

Very similar to numerous lines in my family, too
They may have met my 4G Grandparents that made it to Samantha in 1824.
