PICKENSVILLE. Interior town and post office in the western part of Pickens County, on the east bank of the Tombigbee River, 11 miles southwest of Carrollton. Population: 1880-264; 1888-200; 1900-241; 1910- 214.
The first settlers of the county were from South Carolina, and named it for Israel Pick- ens of that State. The village was named for the county. Josiah Tilly was the first set- tler, not only of Pickensville, but of Pickens County. Jacob Dansby, Jonathan York, a kinsman of Tilly, Robert Proffet, Elijah Cox, Wm. D. Barksdale and S. P. Doss arrived soon after. They made an effort to make a crop in 1818. In 1819, Burwell Ball came from Ab- beville District, S. C., in time to make a crop. Then followed Elijah Wilbanks, John G. Ring, the Sherrods, and James Newman. Be- fore crops could be raised, all the corn needed by these pioneer citizens had to be brought by packhorse or boat from the country east of the Warrior River. The two Indian chiefs, Pushmatha and Mashulatubba, especially the latter, helped these settlers in many ways. The settlers were "squatters," as the lands were not put on the market by the United States Government until 1822, five years after their settling. Speculators in lands gave the settlers much trouble. The first gristmill near Pickensville was built in 1820 by Henry Anderson, on Boquechitta, or Big Creek. The Presbyterian Church sent mis- sionary preachers at an early day to Pick- ensville and a church was soon established. The Baptists were next in the field; then the Methodists. The first newspaper in the county, The Register, was established in Pickensville in 1840 by Dr. W. D. Lyles. Judge Alexander B. Clitherall settled there in 1842. He was a delegate to the National Democratic Con- vention at Cincinnati in June, 1856. In 1861 he became the temporary private secretary of President Jefferson Davis, and assistant sec- retary of the Confederate Congress. The stagecoach road from Montgomery, Ala., to Columbus, Miss., passed through Pickensville.

ner of Calhoun County, 13 miles northeast of Jacksonville and about 25 miles northeast of Anniston. Altitude: 705 feet. Population: 1880-381; 1890-711; 1900-1,745;1910 - 2,226; 1916-3,000. Its banks are the First National and the Farmers & Merchants Pank (State). The Piedmont Journal, a Democratic weekly, established in 1907, is published there. Its industries are large cot- ton mills, 2 cotton ginneries, and a rim- binding factory. It was first called Cross Plains, from its situation on the edge of a plain and at the crossing of two important stagecoach roads. The name was changed to Piedmont about 1880. The first settlers were Neal Ferguson, Jacob F. Daily, Hampton Graham, Gilbert Craig, John W. Ledbetter, James Price, Dr. R. G. Teague and Dr. John B. Cowden.

PIEDMONT REGION. An area in the eastern part of the State, triangular in shape, and including the counties of Cleburne, Ran- dolph, Clay, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Chambers, El- more, and a part of Lee. The country is an elevated plain at the southwestern extremity of the Appalachian Mountain Range, and is geologically designated as the Piedmont Pla- teau. Its soils are chiefly of two kinds, a red clayey soll and a grey sandy soil. The red soils are well drained but stiff, and therefore somewhat difficult to cultivate. The sandy soils are particularly well adapted to the pro- duction of cotton, potatoes, and peanuts, and also afford good average yields of corn and oats. In order to insure the best results to the land, and in production, it is necessary to terrace the rolling sections of the region to prevent washing. In recent years the live- stock industry has made noteworthy progress in the Piedmont region.

PIKE COUNTY. Created by the legisla- ture, December 17, 1821. It was formed of territory taken from Henry and Montgom- ery Counties. By an act of December 18, 1832, a part of its territory was added to Barbour County, by act of November 24, 1865, a part was added to Crenshaw, and by act of December 5, 1866, a part was added to Bullock. It was embraced in the treaty of Fort Jackson, August 9, 1814. It has an area of 675 square miles, or 432,000 acres.
The county bears the name of Gen. Zebulon M. Pike, who fell April 27, 1813, at York, now Toronto.
By an act of December 18, 1821, Andrew Townsend, William Cox; Jacinth Jackson, Alexander McCall, and Daniel Lewis were appointed commissioners with authority to fix and designate a suitable place for a seat of justice, to contract for county buildings with the lowest bidder and to call upon the county treasurer for all expenses. Pending the selection by the commissioners of a site for the courthouse by the same act a tem- porary seat of justice was established at the house of Andrew Townsend. By act of De- cember 12, 1822, Alexander McCall, Daniel Lewis, Obediah Pitts, James Arthur, and Edmund Hobdy were appointed to fix the seat of justice. Louisville, now, Barbour County, was the place first selected. Later it was moved to Monticello, and finally, in 1839, to Troy. John Coskrey and John Han- chey, of Troy, each donated to the county fifteen adjoining acres, had it laid off into town lots by the county surveyor, Robert Smiley, and the court house was erected on the center of the land.
The first court in Pike County was held in 1823, and the first judge was Hon. Reuben Saffold.
Location and Physical Description .- It lies in the southeastern section of the state. It is bounded on the northeast by Bullock County, on the east by Barbour, the line sep- arating the latter being the Pea River, on the' south by Coffee County, on the west by Crenshaw, and on the north by Montgomery. The general surface inclination is towards the south, the average elevation is rolling to hilly, with rather broken areas occurring in the northern and southwestern parts. The county embraces the coastal plain province. The area is divided into two somewhat un- equal divisions by the Conecuh River, whose wide valley extending diagonally across the
1127
HISTORY OF ALABAMA
county is a marked physiographic feature. With a few exceptions the soils of the county are derived from the mantles of reddish sands, or sandy clays, that almost every- where comprise the superficial formation. In the northern part the underlying strata are of Cretaceous age, while in the southern half the sedimentary formations belong to the Tertiary period. The principal upland soils best suited to agriculture are classed as Orangeburg, Norfolk, Greenville, Susque- hanna, and Ruston; the terraces and first bottoms are known as Cahaba, Kalmia, and Ocklocknee. The surface drainage is excel- lent. The main streams are the Pea River and its tributaries, Big Creek, Richland, and Buckhorn Creeks, and the Conecuh River and its tributaries, Patsaliga, Olustee, and Mill Creeks. Its timbers are the pine, hick- ory, white oak, red oak, and cypress. Its mean average summer temperature is 80° F. and the mean annual precipitation about 50 inches.
Aboriginal History .- Pike County is situ- ated within the domain of the Creek Indians, but no Indian settlements existed within its borders during the historic period. During the Creek War, in the summer of 1836, a party of about 300 or 400 Indians, including women, were encamped about four miles above Hobdy's bridge, on Pea River. They had committed some depredations near Mid- way in Barbour County, in passing from their old homes on the Tallapoosa. Gen. William Wellborn overtook them here and the savages, under Enatochopko fought bravely, but were almost annihilated.
The territory is located away from the more thickly peopled sections of aboriginal times, but some evidences are yet met with. On Beeman's creek 9 miles northwest of Troy, on the plantation of John Green were for- merly located four burial mounds, from which site some fine stone objects have been secured. On a small stream known locally as Indian Creek, on the W. A. J. Mills place, 12 miles west of Troy and just above the public road is a group of 3 mounds around which are found some evidences, no explora- tion of the mounds themselves having been made. On the plantation formerly owned by Fox Henderson, on the old Troy to Orion road, at a point where the small branch en- ters the larger stream (known locally as Indian Creek, though not the same as the one above referred to), half mile below the road is a large mound of red clay, containing bur- ials. Though no scientific investigation has been atttempted a large earthenware vessel and some beads were secured there several years since. A small village site is found immediately east of the mound.
Settlement and Later History .- Many of the early settlers came direct from Georgia and the Carolinas but a still larger number moved into the county from the counties immediately to the north and east. The first farms are supposed to have been opened up about the year 1810 or 1812, near Hobdy's Bridge. Orion also had a few settlers about this date. During the next few decades the
population slowly but steadily increased and in 1839 there were a number of well estab- lished settlements in various parts of the county. Agriculture in the early days was decidedly primitive. The small plow and hoe were used as cultivator and corn, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, and garden truck were the chief crops. Preceding the War of Seces- sion many wealthy planters opened extensive plantations. Cotton and corn, the chief prod- ucts, were transported by wagon to Mont- gomery and Eufaula. After the war cotton became the main crop.
