COUNTY DIRECTORY
The name following the name and occupation of citizens refer to their postoffice, the two numbers indicate the township and range of their residence.  The Directory proper, though not so accurate as could be wished, is as nearly so as the nature of the work permitted. There are so many citizens of a transient character, that it was impossible to avoid some little inaccuracy.

MARENGO COUNTY
     In January, 1818, Marengo County was established- the republic of Alabama then being in its territorial pupilage in the old Union; and thereafter the Superior Courts of law and equity, two County Courts, and one intermediate Court were annually holden.  At the suggestion of Judge Lipscomb a name was given to the county, complimentary to the French refugees who were settling at or near the present site of the town of Demopolis.  Hence the name Marengo; that being the name of a village in the plains, between Alexandria and Tortona, in the royal Sardinian Duchy of Montferrat, celebrated for the battle of June 14th, 1800, between Bonaparte and Melas, the Austrian general, in which the latter was signally defeated.
     Under an Act of Congress passed March 2nd, 1819, authorizing the people of the Alabama Territory to form a State Constitution, Washington Thompson was elected a delegate from the County of Marengo to the convention holden in Huntsville on the 5th of July, 1819, for the purpose of framing a State Government.
     There seems to have been no regular established place for the holding of the Courts of the County till the year 1827.  Among the imperfect records of that early day is found a resolution of the "Court of Marengo," dated March 22nd, 1820, to petition the Legislature for the "sum of fifty dollars to be appropriated to the payment of Samuel Easley for a house to hold Court in."  This state of things continued till the 5th of September, 1827, when the board of County Commissioners, having previously contracted therefore, re-

page 52

ceived and adopted as the future court house of the County, a two story wooden structure situated in the village of Linden, and built by Smith and Warner at a cost of thirty-five hundred dollars.  This continued to be the Court House of the County till it was destroyed by fire, when the present brick building was erected in its stead (NOTE: This second, brick courthouse building still stands in Linden on the Jefferson Road.).   The boundaries of Marengo County are as follows: beginning at the Choctaw Corner, thence running east to the range-line dividing ranges four and five; thence north with said range-line to the northwest corner of township thirteen in range five; thence east with the line dividing the thirteenth and fourteenth townships, to the range-line diving five and six; thence north with said range-line to the northern boundary of township eighteen; thence west with the line dividing the eighteenth and nineteenth townships, to the Tuscaloosa (NOTE: now the Black Warrior River)  river; thence down Tuscaloosa to its junction with the Tombeckbee (Tombigbee) river; thence down Tombeckbee river to the northern boundary line of Clarke county; thence with said line to the beginning.  This describes the boundaries of Marengo County except about nine sections in the north-east corner of township fifteen, range six east, taken from Dallas and added to Marengo County.
     Its territorial area is ten hundred and eighty square miles.  It contains a variety of soils.  In it may be found the rich black land of the canebrake region, the still post oak, sandy lands, both rich and poor, and creek and river bottoms.  The sandy lands of good quality are perhaps the most uniform in the production of the great Southern staple.  The black lands are the best grain soils.  The post oak varies very much as to quality and productions; in drouthy seasons they are considered most reliable.
     The figures to be found in this little publication will probably prove to be more satisfactory to our readers than anything we could say as to the health, the population, the material wealth, and the moral, social, and intellectual status of the County.  To

page 53

them, therefore, we beg to refer our readers.

page 54

Bowen Bennett, Morgan G. Brown, and Shelby Corzine, met and resolved to build a Court House.
November 7th, 1825,  Proposals to build from Jacob Lindsay, Smith & Warner, were received and adopted.
September 25th, 1827, The Court House was completed by Smith & Warner and received by the Board of Commissioners.
    Thus was the breath of life breathed into the infant village, which, though it had a name, was scarcely an existing fact.  The village is indebted to the French refugees for its christening.  Its full and proper name is Hohenlinden, in memory of a victory gained by the French under Moreau over the Austrians, December 3d, 1800, at a village in Bavaria of that name.  Linden once contained double its present population; but owing to the sad reverses following the "flush times" of Alabama, and unhealthiness caused by the felling of the surrounding forests, it received a shock from which it has shown, till recently, but little signs of recovery.  Evidences of improvement are now visible; and as it boasts of health, it is hoped that not a distant day may witness a large and flourishing village, distinguished alike for its intelligence, refinement and good morals.  Linden contains four stores-- three dry goods and one drug; three groceries; two hotels; a church; a Masonic lodge; an Academy, male and female; blacksmith, wheelwright, shoemaker and carpenter shops; a Court House and Jail.  Another noticeable feature is a company of horsemen, volunteers, numbering about sixty and commanded by Captain Joel S. Jones.  This company is the offspring of the sectional feud between the North and the South, and we doubt not, that in the "deadly breach" each man will be found at his post, and if falling in battle, he will fall with his feet to his foe, and "Look proudly to heaven from the death-bed of fame."  Linden has a population of about two hundred and fifty inhabitants.  A certain de'gage' air of cortiality, frankness of

page 55

intercourse, and abstinence from all slanderous gossip has been generally characteristic of its people, imparting the charm of confidence, good will and good fellowship to society.  "Long may it wave!"

    The schooner "McDonough" was chartered, and the commissioners, with many French emigrants, set sail from Philidephia.  Late one evening, in the month of May, this vessel, bearing many romantic voyagers, was seen approaching Mobile Point, in the midst of a heavy gale.  Governed by an obsolete chart, the captain was fast guiding her into danger.  Lieutenant Beal, commanding at Fort Bowyer, perceiving her perilous situation, fired an alarm gun.  Night coming on, and overshadowing both sea and land with darkness, he caused lights to be raised along the shore as guides to the distressed vessel.  The wind continuing to increase, she was thrown among the breakers, and immediately struck.  Signals of distress being made, the noble lieutenant threw himself into a boat, with five resolute men, and with Captain Bourke, formerly an officer.  Mounting wave after wave, they reached the wreck about one o'clock in the morning.  The wind had somewhat abated, and Beal crowded the women and children into his boat, and conducted them safely to shore.  The larger number of the colonists remained on board the schooner, which was ultimately saved, by being washed into deeper water.  Bestowing upon the refugees every attention while they remained at the Point, Beal accompanied them to Mobile, and partook of a public dinner, which they gave him, in token of their gratitude.
    The commissioners remained a few days at Mobile, which was then a small place, with but one wharf, and proceeded up the river in a large barge, furnished by Addin Lewis, the collector of the port.  Stopping at Fort Stoddart, they were received with hospitality by Judge Toulmin, to whom they bore letters.  They next visited General Gaines, then in command of a large force at Fort Montgomery, and the barge then cut across to the Tombigby, and landed at St. Stephens-- a place of some size, with refined and lively inhabitants.  Discharging the government boat, and procuring another barge, the refugees once more began their voyage up the

page 57

winding and rapid current.  Camping upon the banks occasionally, and exploring the country around, they at length established themselves, temporarily, at the Ecor Blanc (White Bluff).  A portion of them proceeded to old Fort "Tombecbee," and near there, visited Mr. George S. Gaines, who was still United States Choctaw Factor, whose table fed the hungry, and whose roof sheltered the distressed.  He advised them to make their location in the neighborhood of White Bluff.  John A. Peniers and Basil Meslier, whom the association had disbatched to explore the Red river country, now arrived.  Receiving favorable reports of the country in the Alabama Territory, the association at Philidelphia took measures to colonize it.  The west side of the Tombigby belonged to the Choctaws, and the east had recently been in possession of the Creeks.  The region where the French emigrants had resolved to establish themselves was an immense forest of trees and cane, interspersed with prarie; and near the present town of Greensboro was Russell's settlement of Tennesseans, and some distance below the White Bluff, were a few inhabitants.  However, the French continued to arrive in boats, by way of Mobile, and cabins were erected about the White Bluff, in a rude and scattering manner.  Having been accustomed to Parisian life, these people were very indifferent pioneers.  Unprovided with wagons and teams, and unacquainted with the shifts to which pioneer people are often compelled to resort, they made but slow progress in subduing the wilds.  Provisions of all kinds were remarkably high.  They, however, slowly struggled against these difficulties, and endeavored to raise provisions upon small patches, without knowing what tract, in the grant, they were to live in the future.
    The meridian line was established, and the grant divided into townships and sections.  A town was formed at the White Bluff, which, according to the request of Count Real, of Philidelphia, was called Demopolis-- the city of the people.

page 58

To secure the riverfront, two fractional townships were chosen by the commissioners, instead of two entire townships.  Emigrants continuing to arrive, great confusion and controversy arose in the selection of lots and tracts of land, while the association at Philidelphia, unaquainted with the localities, were unwisely and arbitrarily planning their own forms of location.  By a new contract, made between Mr. Crawford, Secretary of the Treasury, and Charles Villar, agent of the Association, the lands were sold, and the tracts of each person designated.  The allotments made at Philadelphia, and ratified by Mr. Crawford, being different from those already made by the settlers, forced the latter to abandon many of their hard-earned improvements, and to retire further into the forest.  This wretched state of things caused General Lefebvre Desnoettes, who had opened a farm on his Tombigby allotment, to proceed to Philadelphia to adjust these conflicting interests.  He suceeded only in securing his own improvements, while the claims of the others were disregarded, and the contract made at Washington was ordered to be enforced.  The settlers were then forced to retire upon the lands assigned them in townships Eighteen, Nighteen, and Twenty, in range four east.
    Among the French emigrants were many distinguished characters.  Count Lefebvre Desnoettes had been a cavalry officer, under Bonaparte, with the rank of lieutenant-general.  Accompanying Napoleon, in his march to Russia, he rode with him in his carriage in his disastous retreat over the snows of that country.  He had served in Spain in many bloody engagments, and was an active participator in the dreadful battle at Saragossa,  Vivacious and active, handsome in person and graceful in carriage, he was the most spendid rider of the age in which he lived.  His imperial master was

page 59

so much attached to him, that when forced to abdicate the throne, and about to depart for Elba, and while addressing his weeping and sorrowing officers at Fontainbleau, said, "I cannot take leave of you all, but will embrace General Desnoettes in behalf of you all."  He then pressed him to his bosom in the most affectionate manner.  Napoleon frequently made him valuable presents, and influenced his, the sister of the celebrated banker, La Fitte, to espouse him.  While he was at Demopolis, that lady made an attempt to join him in exile, but being shipwrecked on the coast of England, was forced to return to France.  At length, she negotiated with the French government for his return, and, through the influence of her family, suceeded in obtaining permission for him to reside in Belgium.  this induced Count Desnoettes, in 1823, to leave Alabama in the ship Albion, which was wrecked upon the coast of Ireland, at Old Kinsale, in view of an immense number of people, who were standing on the cliffs.  The distinguished refugee was washed overboard, and the ocean became his grave.  While in Marengo county, he often received large sums of money from France, and was the wealthiest of the emigrants.  Near his main dwelling he had a log cabin, which he called his sanctuary, in the centre of which stood a bronze statue of Napoleon.  Around its feet were swords and pistols, which Desnoettes had taken in battle, together with beautiful flags, tastefully hung around the walls.
    M. Peniers, another distinguished emigrant, was a republican member of the National Assembly, and voted for the death of the amiable Louis XVI.  He remained about Demopolis, engaged in agriculture, but procuring an appointment of Sub-Agent for the Seminoles, died in Florida, in 1823.  Distinguished in France, and honored with many civil appointments, he was at last expatriated for his adherence to the fortunes of Napoleon.
    Colonel Nicholas Raoul, a remarkable personage, had been

page 60

a colonel under Bonaparte, and had accompanied him in his banishment to Elba.  When his imperial master left that island, Raoul commanded his advanced guard of two hundred grenadiers upon the march from Caenes to Paris.  When this small band was preparing to fire upon the king's troops, under Marshal Ney, who had come to capture the emperor, Bonaparte advanced to the front of the lines, and gave the command to "order arms."  Bearing his breast to Ney's division, he exclaimed, "if I have ever injured a French soldier, fire upon me."  The troops of Ney shouted "vive la Empereur!" and Bonaparte marched at their head, through the gates of Paris.  Colonel Raoul lived several years upon his grant, and becoming much reduced in his circumstances, was forced to keep a ferry at French Creek, three miles from Demopolis- being accustomed to ferry over passengers himself.  Often would the American traveler gaze upon his foreign countenance, martial air and splendid form, and wonder what order of man it was who conducted him over the swollen stream.  At this time, Raoul being in the prime of life, was a large fine looking man.  He was firm and irascible in his disposition, and was a dangerous competitor in any controversy in which he might engage.  His wife was a handsome woman, of the Italian style of beauty.  She was a native of Naples, and had been Marchioness of Sinabaldi, and maid of honor to Queen Caroline, when Murat was king of that country.  She brought with her to Alabama two children by a former husband.  In 1824, she left her lonely cabin upon French Creek, and followed Colonel Raoul to Mexico, where he engaged in the revolution, and fought with his accustomed fierceness and impetuosity.  At length, once more reaching his beloved France, he there for a long time held an honorable commission in the French army.
    J.J. Cluis, one of the refugees, cultivated a farm near Greensboro.  He had been an aid to Marshal Lefebvre, the Duke of Rivigo, who was afterwards at the head of the police

page 61

department of Paris.  Colonel Cluis was then his secretary.  At another time, Cluis had the custody of Ferdinand VII., King of Spain, while he was imprisoned by Napoleon near the Spanish frontiers.  Like all the other refugees, he found that planting the vine and olive a poor business in Alabama, and, having become much reduced in fortune, kept a tavern in Greensboro.  He died in Mobile not many years since.
    Simon Chaudron, one of the Tombigby settlers, formerly a resident of Philadelphia, where his house was a centre of elegance and wit, was distinguished for his literary attainments.  He had been the editor of the "Abeille Americaine," and was a poet of considerable reputation.  He delivered a eulogy upon the life and career of Washington, before the Grand Lodge of Philadelphia, which was pronounced a splendid effort, both in Europe and in America.  He died in Mobile, in 1846, at a very advanced age, leaving behind him interesting works, which were published in France.
    General Count Bertand Clausel had been an officer of merit throughout Bonaparte's campaigns.  During the Hundred Days, he commanded at Bordaeux, and making the Duchess of Anglouleme prisoner, released her, for some unknown cause.  The general did not occupy his grant, but became a citizen of Mobile in 1821, living on the bay, furnishing the market with vegetables, and driving the cart himself.  Returning to France in 1825, he was subsequently made by Louis Phillippe governor and marshal of Algeria.
    Henry L'Allemand who had been lieutenant-general, commanding the artillery of the imperial guard, was an officer of great merit, and a man of high character.  He married the niece of Stephen Girard.  General Charles L'Allemand, his brother, had also been an officer of distinction in France.  Filled with daring and ambitious projects, he employed the following language in writing to his brother: "I have more ambition than can be gratified by the colony on the Tombigby."  This was literally true, for he soon made a hazardous

page 62

expedition to Texas, collecting followers at Philadelphia and in Alabama.  Arriving at Galveston island, which was shortly afterwards submerged, his people suffered greatly for provisions, and were generously relieved by the pirate, La Fitte.  Annoyed by the indians, and prosrated by disease, in a short time most of the colonists perished, and the establishment failed.
    The celebrated Marshal Grouchy was one of the Philadelphia associates.  He was a man of middle stature, and had very little, apparently, of the military about him.  Not being popular with the refugees, in consequence of his conduct at Waterloo, to which they imputed the loss of the day, he became involved in controversies with them in the American Gazettes.  He never came to Alabama, but one of his sons, who had been a captain in the French army, settled his grant near Demopolis.  The marshal afterwards returned to France, and enjoyed honors under the Bourbons.
    M. Lackanal, a savant, and member of the academy, at the head of the department of public education, under the Emperor, settled on the bay near Mobile, in 1819.  He was one of those members of the National Assembly of France, who voted for the death of Louis XVI.  After a long residence in Mobile, he went to France, and there died in 1843.
    Among all the refugees who sought homes in Alabama, none had passed through more stirring and brillant scenes, than General Juan Rico, a native of Valencia, in Spain, who had been proscribed in that country upon the return of Ferdinand VII because he was a republican and a supporter of the constitution of 1812.  An elegant member of the Cortes and a distinguished officer of the Spanish army, he resisted to the last the invasion of Napoleon.  One day, an interesting scene occurred between General Rico and the elegant Desnouettes.  Both being invited to dine at Demopolis, the conversation turned upon the campaigns in Spain, when allusion was made to the obstinate and sanguinary siege of Saragossa,

page 63

where one of them had commanded the troops of France and the other those of Spain.  They were now assembled at a hospitable table, in a humble cottage, in the wilds of Alabama.  They had met before, amid the din of arms, arraying their troops against each other, and pouring out rivers of blood, at the head of the best trained troops of Europe, who had figured in the most eventful times of France and Spain.  Each had been expelled from his native country, and each had been blasted in his ambitious hopes.  Nevertheless, good humor prevailed in the cabin, and the sorrows of all were drowned in wine, amid merry peals of laughter.  In 1825, General Rico was recalled to Spain, and arriving there, again became a member of the Cortes, under his favorite constitution.  He met with singular reverses of fortune, was expelled from Spain the second time, became an inhabitant of England, and was again recalled to assist in the government of his country.  When he lived in Alabama, he was fifty years of age, and was of a dark complexion.  He possessed great energy and decision of character, and was a most excellent farmer.  If our limits would permit it, many other interesting persons among the French emigrants might be described.
    The priciple portion of the French grant lay in Marengo County.  This name was proposed by Judge Lipscomb, while a member of the legislature at St. Stephens, in honor of the great battle fought during the French Republic.  It also extended into the county of Greene, embracing some of the best lands in the vicinity of Greensboro.  It has been seen that much difficulty arose among the French about their respective locations, and that three times they lost their improvements.  Forced to abandon their settlements in Demopolis, they laid off the town of Aigleville, and erected cabins, but the drawing at Philadelphia not embracing this place, they were once more forced to go deeper into the forest.  The want of waggons and teams, and the great scarcity of water

page 64

in the cane-brake, induced them to dwell on small allotments, while their more valuable tracts were unoccupied.  Owning no slaves, a number of German redemptioners were imported, through the enterprise of Desnoettes, but these people proved a burden and expense, and also disregarded their obligations.  The French were less calculated than any other people upon earth, to bring a forest into cultivation.  The provisions which they had raised, were made at the expense of extravagant hire, and Desnoettes expended over twenty-five thousand dollars in opening and cultivating his farm.  In this manner the whole colony, after a few years,  became poor and were forced to sell their claims to Americans, who soon opened large plantations, and made the earth smile with abundant products.  However, a majority of the French still held onto their grants, and in good faith to the government, entered into cultivation of the grape and olive.  Importations of plants were often made from Bordeaux, but the newness of the land, and ignorance of the colony in regard to their cultivation, were among the reasons why the experiment failed.  The importations frequently arrived out of season, when the vines withered away and the olive seeds became defective.  At length, with difficulty, grapes were grown, but they failed to produce even tolerable wine, because the fruit ripened in the heat of summer.  Before the vinous fermentation was completed the acetic had commenced.  In 1821, the French planted three hundred and eighty-three olive trees upon the grant, and a large number in 1824.  Every winter the frosts killed them down to the ground, but new shoots, putting up, were again killed by the succeeding winter.  The usual mode of planting the grape was at the distance of ten feet in one direction and twenty in the other.  They were trained to stakes, and cultivated with cotton.
    In addition to the ruinous failure of the vine and olive, the French were continually annoyed by unpricipled American

page 65

squatters.  Occupying their lands without a shadow of title, they insultingly told the French that they intended to maintain their footing at all hazards.  Several lawsuits arose, and although our Supreme Court decided in favor of the grantees, the latter became worn out with controversies and allowed the intruders, in many cases, to retain possession for a small remuneration.  On the other hand, many honorable American purchased their grants, for fair consideratios, and thus the French refugees were gradually rooted from the soil.
    But, in the midst of all their trials and vicissitudes, the French refugees were happy.  Immured in the depths of the Tombigby forest, where, for several years, want pressed them on all sides,-- cut off from their friends in France, surrounded by the Choctaws on one side, and the unpricipled squatters and land-thieves on the other-- assailed by the venom of insects and prostrating fevers-- nevertheless, their naive gaiety prevailed.  Being in thehabit of much social intercourse, their evenings were spent in conversation, music, and dancing.  The larger portion were well educated, while all had seen much of the world, and such materials were ample to afford an elevated society.  Sometimes their distant friends sent them rich wines and other luxuries, and upon such occasions, parties were given, and the foreign delicacies brought back many interesting associations.  Well cultivated gardens, and the abundance of wild game rendered the common living of the French quite respectable.  The female circle was highly interesting.  They had brought with them their books, guitars, silks, parasols, and ribbons, and the village in which they dwelt resembled, at night, a minature French town.  And then, farther in the forest, others lived, the imprints of whose beautiful Parisan shoes on the wild prarie occasionally arrested the glance of the solitary traveler.  And then, again, when the old imperial heroes talked of their emperor, their hearts warmed with sympathy, their eyes kindled with enthusiasm, and tears stole down their furrowed cheeks.

    Demopolis now ranks first in importance of any town in the county, having to support it a wealthy region and a thickly populated one.  It contains a population of about 1200; has seven dry goods. two drug, and several grocery and confectionery stores; two hotels; two livery stables; gin, mill, carriage, waggon, harness, saddle, shoe, boot, tin and jewelry establishments; numerous smith and wood shops; one Methodist, one Episcopal, and one Presbyterian church; one Masonic Lodge; one printing establishment, publishing the "Canebrake Gazette," several male and female schools.  The Cedar Hill Institute, under the immediate charge of Mrs. C.E. Truehart, as principle, with a corps of teachers, makes it one of the best schools for females in the country.

The people are remarkable and praiseworthy for the interest they are taking in raising choice fruit.  The grape is receiving much attention; and especially is Dr. N. Hackworth entitled to the meed of praise for his zeal and enterprise in demonstrating the practicality of that, on the sandy lands of Jefferson neighborhood, which proved a failure with the French on the black lands of Demopolis; the culture of the grape the past season having yielded many gallons of wine, for which the Doctor found ready sale.
