 Clay County was created on 26 December 1866 from land taken from Randolph and Talladega Counties. Named after the statesman Henry Clay, the county seat was named after his estate called Ashland in Lexington, Kentucky. Clay County was formed as the citizens had a difficult time reaching the county seats of Wedowee in Randolph County because of the river to the east and Talladega was difficult to reach because of the intervening mountains.
 Other towns are Cragford (Wesobulga), Delta, Hollins, Lineville, Millerville.

 To: Prestridge@@yahoogroups.com
  John W Prestridge (son of Jesse Crawford) 2nd wife Narcis was a Summerford; see 1930 Census, which I don't have at hand - she is living with her brother [Robert C. Summerford].
  Her Brother Union G married May Prestridge, who was a dau of Wm J Prestridge & Lena Bell Robinson.
  So. . . Narciss was step-grandmother to her sis-in-law May Prestridge Summerford. Confused yet??
