  1. Only 2 counties? Lineville has been in three! Talladega and Randolph Counties were formed in NE Alabama after the last Creek Indian session. A town developed on the line separating the two, and appropriately adopted the name “Lineville.” The town thus was in two counties. When Clay County was created in 1866, mostly from Talladega and Randolph, Lineville wound up the middle of the new county. Despite the location it has kept the name Lineville and is the county seat of Clay County.

  3. my husband’s Grandmother, Jennie Howard WALLACE , with her parents Henry & Mary Howard (my husband’s Great Grandparents) are buried in Mountain Mills Cemetery…along Mountain Mills Road…they lived in Colbert Co. in Bartons (or Barton’s Ferry).. Jennie’s husband, Ned Columbus Wallace’s DAD, John Shelby Wallace had worked in the general store in Barton’s Landing..and I think he was the man who drove the ferry across the Tennessee River from Lauderdale Co. to Colbert Co. @ Barton’s Landing…John would take his son Ned with him and that is how Ned met Jennie…Jennie was 18 and Ned was 17 when they married. in 1888..They had a daughter in Nov. 1889 by the name of Maud Wallace…Jennie died shortly after Maud was born…Maud was my husband’s MOTHER….Henry & Mary Howard buried Jennie…they are buried next to her.. Henry was in the Civil War, was wounded, captured in 1863 and released in 1864….
