  6. If my understanding of Alabama History is correct, Andrew JACKSON had nothing to do with the Three Notch Road. It was laid out with the ‘three notches’ in 1824, following orders from the War Department in Washington. Some of the marked trees were still alive in Pike County during my childhood.
