1862 Alabama Salt List
To understand the Alabama Salt Lists, one must first grasp the significance of Salt as a factor in the Civil War. To do this, the reader must transport himself back in time. Back to the period of the Civil War. Back to a time when life was much simpler, and salt was a definite necessity. To impoverished individuals and families, salt, a basic necessity of life, was extremely difficult to come by cheaply beginning in 1862. Alabama developed a system by which they purchased salt and distributed it to the poor directly, and others who could distribute it to the poor, in order that the people of Alabama would have sufficient salt for their usage. While doing this, Alabama developed lists of people who received the salt. This is the list for 1862.

McNeill Family Cemetery, Autaugaville, Alabama

This is the McNeill Family Cemetery located across the street from the Autaugaville Methodist Church. Previous surveys have identified this cemetery as the Autaugaville Methodist Church Cemetery and the Old Autaugaville Cemetery. The “Old Autaugaville Cemetery” indicated in newspaper clippings, however, refers to the Asbury Cemetery, not this one. I would expect, but have not yet verified, that the McNeill home stood nearby this parcel of land in the 1860s.
