Cemeteries of Redstone Arsenal Report Introduction, page 1
THE CEMETERIES OF RESTONE ARSENAL
Madison County, Alabama
Introduction
Due to the advent of home computer technology and internet data sharing, plus the continuous preservation and availability of court records in Madison County, there is no reason that public records of pioneers of this area should be lost or difficult to find by those who may be interested. Research regarding the pioneer families of the area that is now Redstone Arsenal in Madison County, Alabama, can be facilitated by the numerous old census, land, marriage, civil and criminal court, and probate records, plus other data that has been collected and stored on CD-ROMs provided to the U. S. Army's offices and summarized in this report.
Please keep in mind that the collected data represents material acquired by various means during private, volunteer research of the history of the area. The data stored herein is intended for non-profit, non-commercial use and educational purposes only.
It has been the objective of the compiler in undertaking this effort that the records of the lives of the pioneer families should be preserved in a format that will enable future generations to appreciate the time of the county's pioneers on this earth. Not all pioneers were “prominent” people, but even the most common or underprivileged of the area's early settlers had an influence toward the clearing of the land and the certain progression of the region toward the superb living and working conditions offered by the area today. This collection of data and photographs is dedicated to the memory of all of the early settlers, their families, and their slaves -- with thanks for the lives that they lived through various hardships and joys, which ultimately benefit those who live and work here today.
