South Carolina-born Daniel Tubbs enlisted in the War of 1812, fought in the final battle at New Orleans, and was honorably discharged in Nashville on 20 Apr. 1815. In November 1835, he and his wife, Matilda Sanders, settled on this site in Section 2, Township 15, Range 8. By 1840, a community building stood here for gatherings, children's schooling, and worship services for a variety of denominations, and the Tubbs Cemetery was established nearby. After later moving to land granted him for his War of 1812 service, Daniel gave this land to his two sons, Daniel Lee and Samuel. Samuel Tubbs served in the 6th Alabama Infantry during the Civil War, was captured in Decatur in May 1864, and was imprisoned at Rock Island, Illinois, until the end of the war. He returned to the Tubbs community in 1865, bought an additional 280 acres, and donated the mineral rights to the Georgia Pacific Railroad in exchange for rail service to the Oakman area. Samuel was buried in the Tubbs Cemetery with his wife, Malinda Cranford, and his children, and it also holds the descendants of Daniel Lee Tubbs and his wife, Emily Cranford.
