Alabama became a part of the Mississippi Territory in 1798 after Indian cessions in north Alabama. Migration increased after the end of the Creek War in 1814. In 1817, the Alabama Territory was created, and Alabama became the 22nd in December 1819. The Mobile area was settled even earlier. Founded in 1702 by French explorers, Mobile served as the capital of French Louisiana for 16 years. In 1763, Mobile and the Gulf area of Florida became a British colony. Control of Mobile and British West Florida changed hands several times between 1780 and the War of 1812. ================================ A Little History "Macon was established by an act approved December 18, 1832, and carved out of the capacious region ceded by the Muscogees in that year. Large and valuable portions have been set apart to Lee and Bullock – to the former 180 square miles, to the latter about 125." 1 "It lies in the east centre of the State, south of Tallapoosa, and Lee, west of Russell, north of Bullock, and east of Montgomery and Elmore. Its name perpetuates the memory of Nathaniel Macon, the North Carolina statesman." 2 Macon County received its present dimensions in 1866. The county seat is located at Tuskegee, which means "warrior" in the Muskhogean dialect of the Creek Indian language. Tuskegee is also the site of Tuskegee University. Other towns and communities include Shorter, Franklin, and Notasulga. The Tuskegee National Forest is located in Macon County.3 1 Willis Brewer, Alabama: Her History, Resources, War Record, and Public Men From 1540 to 1872, Printed 1872 (Baltimore: Clearfield Company, Reprinted 2000) pg. 336. 2 Brewer, pg 336: Nathaniel Macon was born in Warren County, North Carolina, in 1757, and died there in 1837. He was a soldier in the colonial ranks in 1776-'82, and was a member of the federal congress continuously from 1791 to 1828, serving as speaker of the house and president of the senate. John Randolph of Virginia declares in his will that "Mr. Macon is the wisest and best man I ever knew," and Mr. Jefferson said that when Mr. Macon died "the last of the Romans" would have departed. ================================== Lee County was created by the Alabama legislature on December 5, 1866 from portions of Macon, Russell, Tallapoosa and Chambers counties. If you cannot find data on your family members in Lee County before 1866, be sure and check these surrounding counties. Lee County was named for Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The county lies on the eastern part of the Black Belt. It is bordered by Chambers, Tallapoosa, Macon, and Russell counties, and on the east by the Chattahoochee River and the State of Georgia. It currently encompasses 609 square miles. The county seat is located at Opelika, which in the Creek Indian language means "big swamp." ========================== Barbour County was created on 18 Dec. 1832, from former Creek Indian territory and a portion of Pike County. Its boundaries were altered in 1866 and 1868. The county was named for Virginia Governor James Barbour. Barbour County is located in the southeastern section of the state, bounded on the east by the Chattahoochee River and the State of Georgia. The county seat was established in Louisville in 1833, and moved to Clayton in 1834. Today Barbour County contains two courthouses - one in Clayton and one in Eufaula ===================================
