Daniel Wiggins, a man who was close to the Alexander family through
the years, and with different segments of the family.  He accompanied
widowed Mrs. Frances Alexander from North Carolina in the 1790s
to the old Sumter District in South Carolina.  He moved to Georgia,
then moved into southeastern Alabama.  He was a prominent man of
his day, having a small district in Georgia and a church in Alabama
named after him.  He is suspected of being the catalyst of several of the
Alexanders and others who moved into old Henry County, Alabama
after the Creek Indians were moved out to Oklahoma.  He stayed
close to the Alexanders, even in Alabama as he was close with James
Alexander, a son of John Alexander and grandson of Mrs. Frances
Alexander.  Daniel's mother was a Woodham, and Daniel was a 1st
cousin of Mary Woodham Alexander, wife of John Alexander.  He
was a one time Postmaster of Cureton's Bridge Post Office in Henry
County, Alabama.  He is buried on his original property in Grimes, AL.

Sardis Baptist Church in the Sardis Community of Florence County.  It
