#1 Henry and Mary were married in 1868, just after the Civil War. The land they were married on was owned by Elisha Cottingham, who had chosen the place for its angle of land. It was a resourceful man who could make his own indelible mark on it.
#2 The last Cottingham, Elisha, had arrived in Alabama in 1817. He and his brothers had staked out land, brought in wives, and cleared the lush woodlands. They had sired many bountiful families, and they had grown prosperous and comfortable.
#3 The Cottinghams were slave owners, and they treated their slaves cruelly. They buried their slaves closer to them than they did the people who ministered to their souls.
#4 The end of the war left Elisha’s family and neighbors in poverty. The threat of former slaves owning their land was real.
