This book is organized into two parts: "Early Settlers of Alabama,
Part I," by Col. James Edmonds Saunders; and "Notes and
Genealogies, Part II," by his granddaughter, Elizabeth Saunders
Blair Stubbs. Part I began as a series of newspaper articles, first
published by Col. Saunders, in the "Moulton Advertiser," in April
1880, relating to the "Early Settlers of Lawrence County Alabama]
and the Tennessee Valley." These articles, which increased in scope
and material year after year, soon encompassed neighboring
counties, the State, and adjoining States, ran in the "Advertiser"
until 1889, and were subsequently published in book form. The
author's recollections, as well as records, interviews and
correspondence formed the basis for this work, and provide the
reader with rare information and insights into the life and times
of the early pioneers. In 1899, Elizabeth Saunders Blair Stubbs,
the granddaughter of Col. Saunders, began what she described as a
"supplementary" to the Colonel's "Early Settlers," while the author
was alive and able to approve and provide counsel relative to her
contributions. Mrs. Stubbs compiled an enormous amount of
information from original records and secondary sources, and
consulted numerous authorities (which are listed in the
"Introduction") in the preparation of this work. The genealogies,
as a rule, begin with the immigrant ancestor, followed by their
descendants down to the mid-nineteenth century, and are often
supplemented with biographical information. The principal families
addressed in this work include: Baldwin, Bankhead, Banks, Bibb,
Billups, Blair, Cantzon, Clark, Clay, Coleman, Cox, Donohoe,
Dubose, Dudley, Dunn, Elliott, Flint, Fountaine, Foster, Fry,
