Dilmus and Pharis were children (#1 & 4)of John Stone and Annie Elizabeth Lyles (Liles) Stone, born in VA and pioneers to Spartanburg Co., SC, GA, and St. Clair, Bibb, Perry and Marion Counties in Alabama.BettyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098246906338279953.post-23212115893433382362008-04-18T07:43:00.000-05:002008-04-18T07:43:00.000-05:00Interesting story Bettye.

Bull Mountain Creek is the major drainage creek in eastern Itawamba County. Enterering Itawamba from Marion County, Alabama about 4 1/2 miles northeast of Tremont, several creeks empty into Bull Mountain Creek on its way to the Tombigbee including Hurricane, Cypress, Briar, Johns, Jims and Bluff creeks. Bull Mountain Creek runs into the Tombigbee right near the Itawamba and Monroe county line near Highway 25 South. Folks here call the high ridge west of the Bull Mountain Creek bottom, Bull Mountain. I too would like to know the origin of the name.Bob Frankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933010329922610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098246906338279953.post-19549144332866082292008-04-17T23:52:00.000-05:002008-04-17T23:52:00.000-05:00I am very curious about "Bull Mountain Creek" - wh...I am very curious about "Bull Mountain Creek" - when I was a young girl and hearing of those "winter rains and all that clay base of the unpaved roads in western Marion Co. AL" when my grandfather, Morman Stone, rural mail carrier of Bexar delivered the mail "up on Bull Mountain", I honestly thought there was a mountain north of the Shottsville community. It wasn't uncommon for him to slip into the ditch and have to get a farmer and his mules to pull him out. Now I read of "Bull Mountain Creek" in Itawamba County and realize this must be quite a long water tributary. Can someone tell me of its' origin? BettyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
