| 300 acres |
 My granduncle Marshall was born 29 Dec 1904 in Rome, Floyd, Georgia. My grandfather was born 17 Feb 1908 in Lincoln, Talladega, Alabama. Phyl said somewhere that they moved to Lincoln about 1908, rented a couple of years and then bought about 300 acres.
The best I can figure, his farm was pretty much everything you can see on the map. Allred Road runs through my ggrandfather's 300 acres. When I was a child Speedway Boulevard wasn't there, and to get to my grandfather's house we would take 77, and turn (very carefully) onto a dirt road that is now called Allred Road. It looks like Alpha's house is still there; the first house on the right just as you turn onto Allred Road from 77.
There were several houses along the road to my grandfather's house. The last one was a stone house where the Welshs lived, about where Texas Street splits off. My grandfather's house was where Texas Road meets Allred Road. There is a cluster of buildings where my grandfather's house and farm buildings were. Texas Road was the road to the pasture and fields.
Before Speedway Boulevard was built, what is now Allred Road continued to where Speedway Boulevard is, bore right (along the route of the Current Speedway Boulevard), and connected to W. Merkle Lane and Jackson Trace.
There was also a 'private' road, on the other side of the field next to Allred Road/Speedway Boulevard, that went from my Grandfather's house to my Great-Grandfather's house.
It met Speedway Boulevard about where the 'Speedway Blvd' label is. There was a covered well there long ago. And the old Allred House with its gardens and barns and stables and so forth were under that label.
 The old house was really a compound. There was a covered well where the 'private road' and Speedway Boulevard intersect. And there was a cookhouse behind the kitchen. And a barn, a stable, a carriage house, a smoke house, a hen-house, an out-house, a cistern and other outbuildings. Most of the outbuildings were falling down when I was there as a child. I think they pulled the barn down because they were afraid I would be out playing and it would fall on me.
I can remember asking what the building behind the kitchen was and being told it was the cookhouse, and that long ago before white sugar and bleached flour and gas stoves people cooked over a wood fire. And they made the kitchen a separate house because it burned down. They also told me some places had separate wash houses but they didn't. When I was a child there was still a huge cast iron kettle in front they used to heat water. And the chopping block was nearby for chopping chickens (and other things).
The old piano-organ was in the front hallway (converted into an indoor toilet about 1965)useless, the bellows eaten by rats. Sue showed it to me. It had three stops, one for piano, one for organ, and one for both. It was a player piano-organ and they still had some old scrolls. I can imagine Susie all dolled up, sitting there pumping away, just as happy as she could be.
Mother tells me people used to come from miles around to look at the place and from the way she talks she must remember it as The Big House On The Hill where there was always music and people (Charlie had the commissary, for the people who worked for him to buy supplies, I guess.)
I forgot how many mules Agnes said they had, she wrote it in a letter and I remember at the time thinking he was richer than the O'Hara's because it was two more than walk across the screen in stylized 'Egyptian' fashion at the very beginning of Gone With The Wind.
 I remember when I was a child and first going to visit Bea, Sue & Agnes in the old house, I asked about the ancestors. Bea at first informed me, distastefully it seemed to me, that they were 'black-Irish'. When I asked what that meant she said they were Indian. And when I asked what tribe she said Muskogee. Fifteen or twenty years later I wrote them asking again about the ancestors, and this time Bea wrote "A confederat soldier up 'n' married a Injun Princess." Well, that would most likely be John James Allred, except if it was Lucinda or Mary Ann Maroney that was the Indian Princess firstly that was a long time after the Trial of Tears in 1838 and secondly neither me nor aunt Bea would be descended from the 'Injun Princess'.
Agnes said her daddy refused to pay the road tax. I was astonished to learn they had to pay taxes for roads, and they explained to me that you used to have to pay to travel on the roads. Especially the good roads. And that you also had to pay a tax to build them and maintain them. And Paw Allred refused. He would work on the road but he would not pay for it.
Agnes also said he used to preach. And she said his preaching was mighty different from everyone else's, or any other preacher she ever heard, but she couldn't seem to find the words to explain how.
Susie said they were prominent, and there wasn't nothing happened of any importance that they didn't have to be there. And from the number of people who came to her funeral, I can believe it.
He was a raging liberal by the standards of the time and the place, putting one girl at a time through school, and paying for it.
 Sue, Bea & Agnes may not have been born in that house, but they lived in it all there lives, and they died there.
When I was there they had pulled their beds into the living room and the three of them slept there. All the bedrooms were unused, stacked from floor to ceiling with furniture and trunks and things both used and unused. The roof was high and steep, so there was a lot of room up there as well, enough for several large rooms.
All the rooms were large. And there were doors in every wall, except the exterior walls, one room opening onto another. The rooms were so large they could accommodate long sofas on either side of the doors in the middle of the wall leading from room to room, with room to spare.
I remember my grandma was grumbling about the way they dressed, wearing styles that were dated 20 years ago, and she claimed they didn't have to do that, that old man Allred had left them trunks full of money.
When I was about twelve I asked them about that. I remember how they looked at one another, trying to figure out what to say. Finally, I think it was Susie who asked if they thought they could trust me, and Agnes and Bea nodded yes, they 'spec they could. And so we went in to Grannie & Paw's room and they pulled a trunk out from behind the others and there was a little pile of silver dollars. Maybe a hundred or so. Susie said, "That's all that's left."
 Charlie died in 1950, and this must have been about 1965-70.
It seems I spent infinite and endless summer afternoons on the screened-in porch with Bea, Sue, & Agnes; eating chocolate covered cherries and drinking R.C. Cola and playing Rook, and Canasta, and Rummy, and Parcheesi, and Chinese Checkers. It was cool near the cistern and under the huge shade tree that over-reached the house (the tree grew toward the cistern, both the top and the bottom). And the screen keep the insects out.
You can see the roof line over this porch in the family picture, which was taken from the side of the house. (The other photo was taken from the opposite side, the 'back'.) The carriage-house/garage was to the right of where everyone is standing. There was a paved cement walk from roughly where Charlie is standing to steps up to the porch and into the house. The cistern was to the right of the walk.
Somehow we never got a picture of the front and that is a real shame because it really was pretty. The 'formal' front porch was very wide, and embellished with ornamental wood banisters and woodwork. The house had a tin roof. And it was wonderful in the rain. There was a drain from the roof into the cistern, and I remember how sweet the water was. Sue told me it was because of the lime in the concrete. I remember asking if there were dead animals in there, and Sue said, "Of course not." And then Agnes timidly said she saw a rat in there once. And Sue gave her a "Not one more word," look, and Agnes didn't say anymore.
The gardens were unkempt and overgrow when I was there. It was like Miss Haversham's house. Time had stopped there somewhere around 1930. But it had the sense of having been quite grand and wonderful once, quite something.

This was very difficult to type with all the legal mess. I hope you can figure it out since your brain is much more intelligent and younger than mine. As I see it with the first email I sent the land totaling 577.5 acres and this email land totling 130 3/4 acres that totals 708.25. I think I have more deeds and will forward as soon as I locate them. Also remember that Highway 77 does not follow where the old highway from Lincoln to Talladega was. At one time we lived on property that was across where highway is now and Daddy got that land from Grandpa. Some way when the estate for Grandpa was settled a small part of that land had not been sold when Daddy sold the mountain property and it is a part of Grandpa's Estate at the time of settlement.

email of 28 Oct 2007, 7:24 AM
This acreage totals 577.5 Acres Grandpa paid 2000.00 cash for 25 October 1927. At that time 2000.00 was a lot of money.
I have Grandpa's Will and deeds where he gave each son land. At some time when you have a place to keep these documents I will send them to you. His will might be of interest now. He was a very well to do man and his will is very interesting. The money he had took care of Sue and Bea for the remainder of their lives. The reason I have some of the papers (which I had forgotten about) was because so many years went by after the death of Bea and there were so many heirs that no one thought the estate would ever be settled. Bobby Mims, Aunt Eula's daughter offered to buy all the remaining 35 acres (What was left after each boy got their land from grandpa) at 300.00 an acrea. No one would sell for 300.00 an acre because the land was worth much more. Bobby Mims filed suit and the courts auctioned off the land.
I will send more information in another email.
Know all Men by these presents, that for the sum of two thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) cash in hand paid, and of other good and valuable considerations, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned Protective Life Insurance Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Alabama, hereinafter referred to as the grantor, has bargained and sold and does hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey unto C. P. ALLRED hereinafter referred to as the grantee, the following described real estate, lying and being in the county of Talladega, State of Alabama, to-wit:
The south two-thirds of East half of Southwest quarter of Southeast quarter of Section 4; the South two-thirds of Southeast quarter of Southeast quarter of Section 4; the South half of Northwest quarter and the South half of Northeast quarter of Section 5, and the North half of Section 9; all in the Township 17, South of Range 5 East, containing 520 acres, more or less.

Lincoln, Talladega, Alabama, USA [17] |
The City of Lincoln's history begins with the local Indians who settled here well before the Spaniards, under the direction of Hernando De Soto, came looking for gold in our area. The area in and around Lincoln was settled by what white men called Creek Indians. Their true name was Muskogee, and the local tribes in our area were called Conchardee. The Conchardee are gone now, but they have left their imprint on our area. Many of the local place names serve to remind us of these first settlers. There is Blue Eye Creek which begins near the Talladega/Calhoun County line and winds its way through Lincoln. Blue Eye is remarkable in the fact that the story of its name comes from one of the best known local legends. It was supposedly named after a Conchardee chief who had one brown eye and one blue eye and because this was so rare the creek was named in his honor. Chocolocco Creek is also a tribute to their presence and named for another local chief. This creek runs through the south end of the city and at last survey was just one foot too short to be called a river. Another local attraction associated with the Muskogee and Conchardee is the Sleeping Giant. Although best seen from atop Mt. Cheaha, the Sleeping Giant can be seen in the distance on Alabama Highway 77 heading south out of Lincoln. The Sleeping Giant is really just a collection of foothills that, when seen from a distance, resemble a huge man sleeping on the horizon. There is, of course, a legend associated with the Sleeping Giant .
The first white men in this area were those of Hernando De Soto's who came looking for gold. They did not find any gold but they did map the area. According to E. Grace Jemison, a local historian, one of De Soto's men stayed behind and was given a desperately ill black Christian slave. These two became the first white and black men to take up residence in Alabama. We do not know the slave's name, and the only name for DeSoto's man that can be found is simply "Furada". Soon, English traders from the Carolinas were coming through bartering with the Muskogee Indians. At that time the only means of tranpsortation were wagons or just horseback. The traders used old hunting trails and sometimes the Coosa River to bring their wares to trade for skins and furs. It wasn't until much later that the old plank roads were built, and then because of an unwillingness to pay for them to be built, the plank road was built in Winterboro, just south of Talladega and Lincoln, and named in honor of one of the local settlers.
During the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson and his men camped at Fort Strother on the banks of the Coosa River near Ten Islands, just north of Lincoln. They arrived at the fort with no supplies and foraged for food over a wide area. The Lincoln area was noted by these men to have a good supply of fresh water and fertile land and many came back after the war was over to settle the area. Andrew Jackson also cut a trail through Lincoln on his way to Talladega for the Battle of Talladega. This battle took place on what is now known as Battle Street in the heart of Talladega. This battle was between the Red Sticks, a sect of the "Creeks" opposed to white control, and Andrew Jackson's men. Since then, the trail has been paved and is now known as Jackson Trace Road, part of it running parallel to the Talladega Super Speedway.
The first post office in Lincoln was established on January 29th, 1850. The name of the post office and the area around it was called Kingsville at the time. Jesse Calhoun was the first postmaster. On January 17, 1856 the postoffice officially became known as the Lincoln Post Office with Jesse Hardin as the first postmaster.
The town was named for a soldier in the War of Independence. This man's name was Benjamin Lincoln and he became known as the Defender of Charleston for his valor in the line of fire. His fame spread all the way across the Southern states. General Benjamin Lincoln was second in command of the Revolutionary Army and accepted the sword of surrender from General Cornwallis at the Battle of Jamestown, which ended the War of Independence. Early settlers brought the name from North Carolina or Georgia. These early settlers were Theodore Burns, John Groce, and Henry Turner. While some of their descendants still live in the area, other early settlers names were: Embry, McClellan, Bell, Burns, Montgomery, Acker, Wilson, Watson, Weed, Brewer, Mynatt, Collins, Groce, Dickinson, Franklin, Schmidt and Jones. Many of these early settlers came by wagon to develop the wilderness and make homes for their families. Some were farmers, others ministers and teachers, a few doctors, millwrights, carpenters and a few merchants.
The Georgia Pacific railroad came through Lincoln in 1883. The laying of the railroad actually moved the town 1/4 mile south of the old site. The new businesses were centered around the railroad.
Lincoln was incorporated in 1911. The first mayor was W.D. Henderson with the first council members being: L.U. Dickinson, J. L. Richey, J.M. Cunningham, W.N. Jons and W.D. Davis. W.C. Madden was the town cleark and Lon Embry was the constable. The area of the new town was approximately one square mile.
One of the first acts of business was to open Third Avenue between Magnolia and Chestnut Streets and extend Magnolia Street to the high school area. This was very important because Lincoln had been selected as the for the Talladega County High School. E.D. Acker and R.D. Burns, members of the Alabama Legislature deserve much of the credit for the school being located in Lincoln, although they never officially received much credit for it.
Before the Depression, as with most small towns in the South, cotton was the primary industry and all business was centered around the railroad. There were two banks, fifteen businesses, a hotel, a cottonseed oil mill and two cotton gins. The town had electricity and a telephone system.
The 1929 crash closed both banks and gradually strangled the businesses in town. In the same year, U.S. Highway 78 came through Lincoln. New businesses were built along the new highway. During the 1930's a water system was installed under the WPA program by then Mayor James I. Kirksey. In the 1960's Interstate 20, part of the Eisenhower Interstate System, came through Lincoln prompting more entrepreneurs to open businesses around the 165 exit and 168 exit. U.S. Highway 78 and Interstate 20 now are primary business areas of the city.
Lincoln has been rated the eighth fastest growing city in the State of Alabama and if you're ever nearby, don't hesitate to stop in. We may be growing and industrializing, but we still have southern hospitality.
