About 3/4 miles from here, in the Grier family cemetery, is the grave of Aaron Grier, who was born near here on Dec. 2, 1794. When quite young, he fought the Creek Indians with Gen. Floyd and distinguished himself at the Battles of Autossee and Chalibbee in Alabama. Rapidly promoted for his military talent, he became a Brig. Gen. in the Indian and later the Mexican Wars. In 1826, his home became that of his orphan nephew, Alexander H. Stephens. He lived to see his nephew and ward become vice-president of the Confederacy, but he died during the war on January 14, 1864.
