    Huntsville's First Entrepreneur

    Huntsville’s First Entrepreneur - The “Salt King” of Abingdon, VA By Gilbert White Published in the Huntsville History Collection, March 2016 Huntsville is known today as the technology capital of Alabama, the Rocket City, and one of the premier innovation cities of America. Countless successful companies make their homes in Huntsville. Many remarkable products that changed the world were born in Huntsville. Industry giants like Olin King and James Medlock founded great companies in Huntsville. Many successful entrepreneurs have made their fortunes in Huntsville and thousands of jobs have been created. But, there is one Huntsville entrepreneur that preceded all the others. Long before Huntsville was known as the Rocket City, a young enterprising entrepreneur ventured far from his Virginia home, and walked the dusty streets of this small remote Alabama frontier town. Before Alabama was a state, when the Tennessee River ran wild and free, frontier industrialist James White pushed into the Tennessee Valley and established a successful chain of mercantile stores in river towns that may have been the first large retail store chain in America. As a young 17 year old James White left his home in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and worked in Baltimore, America’s leading seaport. There he learned the business of mercantile, shipping, commerce and trade. America was moving west and White relocated to Abington, VA, the most western town in Virginia on the edge of the frontier, located on the “Great Road”. He married and started his family and business in Abington where his home stands today next to the Washington County Courthouse. He built and operated a gristmill and sold necessities to pioneer families traveling west.

This study examines the role of free blacks, escaping slaves, and white Protestant evangelicals influenced by tenants of Kentucky’s Second Great Awakening who were inspired, directly or indirectly, to aid in African American community building.

We study yesterday to influence a better tomorrow! President’s Letter Huntsville Historical REVIEW Spring 2016 This Historical Review, like all of them since 1971 accomplishes two goals: 1) it contains good stories for members who love local history, and 2) it captures segments of local history for researchers anywhere in the world for all time (I hasten to thank our own Deane Dayton for scanning the Reviews into the world-wide web). You can access them now by going to HuntsvilleHistoryCollection.org. The Reviews are categorized by subject matter, author, and year. Because the Historical Reviews are such a rich source of local history, the Historical Society has decided to pluck out related stories and bind them into several books. The primary focus will be on stories related to the upcoming Alabama Bicentennial (2017­ 2019); however, there will be other categories too. These books will be available to our members at regular meetings, or for sale to anyone on Amazon.com. Jacque Procter Reeves is heading this effort. Meanwhile, Mary Daniel has agreed to update the HMCHS history from where John Rison Jones left off in 2001. It will be published in a future Review.

The same general view, 1995. ii MAPLE HILL CEMETERY Phase One by Diane Robey Dorothy Scott Johnson John Rison Jones, Jr. Frances C. Roberts 1995 The Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society Huntsville, Alabama (Post Office Box 666, Huntsville, AL 35804) Copyright 1995 The Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society Huntsville, Alabama Printed in the United States of America iv DEDICATION In memory of Diane Robey, a native of Gig Harbor, Washington, who came to Huntsville in 1964, and spent more than twenty years in researching and recording with painstaking exactness the inscriptions on the tombstones in the oldest part of Maple Hill Cemetery. Her fascination with the subject caused it to become her life work. It was her wish that any profits derived from the sale of this publication would become part of the Perpetual Care Fund of Maple Hill Cemetery. v INTRODUCTION This publication, which is being sponsored by the Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society, contains a brief history of the land transactions which started and later expanded the boundaries of Maple Hill Cemetery, one of the oldest public cemeteries in Alabama. It also includes the location and descriptions of the markers and monuments in the fifteen oldest sections in the cemetary. This compilation was made possible through the work of Diane Robey who, over a period of twenty years, researched and recorded with painstaking exactness the inscriptions on each tombstone. Unfortunately, Diane Robey did not live to see her work published, but it was her hope that any profit derived from this project would be dedicated to a perpetual care fund for Maple Hill Cemetery.
