  • THE ANDERSON SHERIFFS of JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA with Additional Materials for All Jefferson County Sheriffs from 1819 Forward
    THE ANDERSON SHERIFFS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA With additional materials for all Jefferson County Sheriffs from 1819 forward. Two of the early Jefferson County Sheriffs were Anderson, Peter August 7, 1835 - - August 25, 1838 August 25, 1841 - - August 23, 1844 August 12, 1847 - - August 17, 1850 and his son Anderson, Thomas A. September 2, 1880 - January, 1885 [?] Peter Anderson was the great-great-grandfather of Martha {Skinner} Thomas, and Thomas A. Anderson was her great-grandfather. Direct family links to those two early Sheriffs of Jefferson County stimulated this project. These materials were prepared January-May, 2004 by Carl O. Thomas & Martha S. Thomas Knoxville, Tennessee To the best of our knowledge, materials included here are generally in the public domain. Others should feel free to make use of these materials. In such cases, please provide reference to the original sources that are cited throughout the following text. 1 Appreciation A number of sources were used in preparing these materials. One important source was “A List Compiled in The Department of Southern History and Literature,” of the Birmingham Public Library, Birmingham, Alabama, September 16, 1943. A copy of that list was provided by the kindness of Jack and Judi Parker, Birmingham, Alabama. They also provided the photographs of old grave markers from the Pinson, Alabama area. Judi Parker also provided help with genealogical searches, and with historical information about the Pinson, Alabama area. Another important source was material found at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department web site, identified in the text. This includes an historical listing, and a large - though not complete - gallery of photographs of past sheriffs.

LADD Library of Congress Card Catalog No. 72-96346 Binding by Library Binding Co. Waco, Texas Published by: Miran Publishers 3327 Winthrop Fort Worth, Texas PART Ol~E An Outline History of the Southeastern States FOREWORD In order to trace one's ancestors it is necessary to know the History of the Country to detennine the routes they took in their Westward migration. As more people inrnigrated to the Eastern shores of America it was necessary that most of them move Westward in order to find space in which to live. Free movement was blocked by hostile Indians, mountains and lack of roads. Naturally the country East of the mountains was devel­ oped first and migration followed the lines of least resistance. Due to lack of roads travel was first by rivers. Land was secured by treaties with the Indians, none of which were ever kept by the settlers or the Government. Finally prac­ tically all of the Indians East of the Mississippi River were re-located in the West. As land wore out due to lack of fertilizer or washed away due to lack of terraces the people moved to new land. The following Outline History of the Southeastern States is given to refresh the memory of the readers. The brief history of Northeast Alabama counties give a picture of the hardships their ancestors encountered in settling the land.
