Today, descendants of these early Alexander Baldwin, namesake of Baldwin County, AL. Steadham, Stockton and Holmes. colonials only make up a small part of the county population. Baldwin County has also had its share of conflict. The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, Creek Indian Wars, and the Civil War were each fought, in part, on her soil, and in her waters. Each of these historic events involved people who should be remembered, not forgotten. Early settlers first came to the northern part of the county in the eighteenth century. “IF WE KNOW Having originally been part of the Mississippi Territory, Baldwin County became founded on December 21, 1809, making it older than the state it calls home. Andrew Ellicott marked WHERE WE CAME FROM, the boundary between the United States, and Spanish West Florida, by a Mound Line on WE MAY BETTER KNOW the 31st parallel, which runs through Stockton.

By the first part of the twentieth century, Baldwin County had experienced tremendous – UNKNOWN growth. Towns developed, leaders emerged, and people who considered themselves everyday citizens left their marks as well. The names of people, who have made our county the amazing community that it is, must be preserved. This meager collection is only a drop in the bucket, compared to those who will live on forever as legends in the legacies they have left. HERITAGE FAMILIES HISTORICAL COMPILATION The First S ettlers This book will explore the families that settled here more than 100 years ago. This publication is in honor of the people who have made our county the amazing place it is today. We are looking at some of the families who were among the earliest settlers. The Baldwin County Department of Archives and History with the support of the Baldwin County Commission are pleased to be able to sponsor this program. We strive to preserve the legends created by our earliest families. Information in this publication received from descendants of those who helped build this county are treasures that will help tell the story of our history. IN BALDWIN COUNTY The first Europeans to come to our area were French and Spanish. Bienville was said to have stayed in Bon Secour before founding Mobile. It was reported that he had a fishing and hunting camp in Bon Secour for the soldiers from Fort Conde in Mobile. Bienville had a good relationship with the Native Americans in Baldwin County. His body was tattooed in the local tribal fashion-snakes. Of course, Native Americans who hunted, fished, and “IT IS NOT THE HONOR farmed this area were abundant. Many inland people came to the shorelines in the summer to gather mussels. They left shell mounds or middens all along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile Bay YOU TAKE WITH YOU, and in the Mobile Delta. BUT THE HERITAGE By the time white settlers began to move in, the primary culture was Muskogean or Creek.

These communities were in the northernmost part of the county along IN BA– LDBRANCHWIN RICKEY COUNTY the Alabama and the Tensaw Rivers. Many came by Federal Road which ran from the East Coast to Stockton, the southernmost point in the territorial lands. There were only a few plantations that used slavery as workforce, but some of the earliest residents were indeed slaves. There were many free African Americans who settled here to work in the mills and forest industries as well. Baldwin County is certainly the home of people with a wide variety of backgrounds and heritage. The Baldwin County Heritage Families Program is a way of preserving the legacies left by our ancestors. The earliest settlers highlighted in this project just scratch the surface of the history of the people of our county. Many people came to Baldwin County as part of a group of people or a colony.

  • Shakespeare in Love
    FEB Shakespeare 26 MAR in Love 29 Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall Music by Alex Bechtel Directed by Matt Pfeiffer Welcome to Shakespeare in Love. Every year, many of you cry out to us “Dear God, no more Shakespeare!” While others plead “I loved your Winter’s Tale, your Richard III. Please put on Midsummer. I beg you for a Twelfth Night.” With Shakespeare In Love, the Purists and the Never Barders may unite to curse us with a plague on both our houses, but if they — and you — are someone who loves love, well then . Here is a love letter to romantic love, to the theatre, and to the rebellious, transgressive, mysterious, and glorious madness of both. Whether you keep Shakespeare close to your heart or far from it, we invite you to celebrate what he loved most: the stage, its players, poetry . and a dog. Zak Berkman, Producing Director Lend me your ears Matt Pfeiffer, Director I’ve been really blessed to spend most of my career working on the plays of William Shakespeare. I believe his plays are foundational to Western culture. Love him or hate him, his infuence is an essential part of our understanding of stories and storytelling. And I’ve had the privilege for the last six years of fostering a specifc approach to his plays. I found that attempting to be in conversation with the principals of the theatre practices of Shakespeare’s time was a good starting place—not so much aesthetically, but logistically.

    CHAPTER 7 JURISDICTIONS CARVED FROM TERRITORY SOUTH OF THE RIVER OHIO Territory South of the River Ohio - Tennessee In 1790 the State of North Carolina ceded to the United States the area referred to as "a certain district of western territory." Known initially as "the Territory of the United States, south of the river Ohio," it had substantially the same boundaries as the present state of Tennessee. The North Carolina Deed of Cession provided: ... the territory so ceded shall be laid out and formed into a State or States containing a suitable extent of territory; the Inhabitants of which shall enjoy all the privileges, benefits and advantages set forth in the Ordinance of the late Congress for the Government of the Western territory of the United States ... .1 Eighthly, That the laws in force and use in the State of North Carolina at the time of passing this act shall be and continue in full force within the territory hereby ceded, until the same shall be repealed, or otherwise altered by the Legislative authority or the said territory ....2 This stipulation, among the others set out in the Deed of Cession, was accepted by Congress 3 and incorporated by reference in "An Act for the Government of the Territory of the United States, south of the river Ohio," approved May 26, 1790. 4 Thus from the moment of its organization, "the territory . south of the river Ohio" was provided with a complete body of 1.
