By: Inez Biggerstaff, Pub. 1959, Reprinted 2019, 201 pages, soft cover, Index, ISBN #0-89308-812-9. Walker county was created in 1821 from Tuscaloosa and Marion counties. It is located in the Northern portion of the state and is surrounded by the counties of: Blount, Fayette, Jefferson, Marion, Tuscaloosa, and Winston. This area of Northern Alabama was a major route for persons migrating westward out of or through Tennessee and Georgia. Due to the fact that the records for this county are "DESTROYED" prior to 1871 makes this book as well as any other book on Walker County of extreme importance. Material contained in this book: 1840 Census, Lists of 1840 Tax Payers, Marriages 1879-1888, Pensioners from the War of 1812, Bible & Family records containing births, deaths, & marriages, and Cemetery Inscriptions from Not only Walker County but also neighboring counties of: Cullman, Fayette, Marion, Talladega, Tuscaloosa and Winston.
This third volume of news clippings from the historic issues of the Jasper Mountain Eagle spans the years 1903 - 1905. Practically every issue from the time period is represented. Only a few scattered issues are missing from this series: from 1903, Feb 25, May 13, and Jun 24; from 1904, Jan 6 and Mar 9; and from 1905, Feb 22, Jul 5, Aug 2, Oct 11, Nov 29, and Dec 27. These clippings from the Mountain Eagle come from microfilm purchased from the State Archives in Montgomery. Every issue of the Eagle was examined column by column to capture all available information regarding births, deaths, marriage notices, and relevant news items and information regarding the early history of Walker County and the surrounding area. Death notices were compared against available cemetery records at FindAGrave.com and were annotated. The history of Walker County is written in the pages of its early newspapers. This book will be a valuable asset to the serious student of Walker County genealoty and history.
Waker County is located in the North Central portion of the state. It was created in the 1830's and was surrounded at the time by the counties of: Blount, Fayette, Franklin, Jefferson, Lawrence, Marion, Morgan, and Tuscaloosa. Large numbers of early pioneers passed through this portion of the state of Alabama on their way westward with numerious individuals staying on as settlers. The main bulk of this book is devoted to over 500 Biographical Sketches of these early pioneer settlers. Due to these vast numbers, we are unable to list these surnames at this time. This New Index that was specially compiled for this volume contains the names of over 7,300 individuals.
Walker County is a unique place inhabited by a unique people. Characters including George "Goober" Lindsey, Tallulah Bankhead, Sybil Gibson, and Eric "Butterbean" Esch, and communities including Cordova, Carbon Hill, and Day's Gap and Horse Creek-or as we know them today, Oakman and Dora-have all contributed to the county's rich history. In this volume of vintage postcard images, readers will learn how the town of Jasper avoided extinction, visit the old Walker County Courthouse that burned six times, and discover which town in Walker County began as Bald Eagle.
