It is my hope in posting this information, that someone out there can help answer these questions. From the memory of Katie Elnora Baugh Moore. During the 1830s Reuben Baugh, his wife and two daughters named Sarah and Elizabeth were living in Tennessee. Reuben's wife died leaving him with two little girls. Reuben built a raft and traveled on the Tennessee River with all his possessions and settled in Guntersville, Alabama.
Marshall County is located in the northeastern part of the state on the Appalachian ridge.
The Tennessee River runs through the northern part of the county, creating Guntersville Lake. The county seat was established in 1836 at Claysville, and was moved to Marshall in 1838, to Warrenton in 1841, and finally located at Guntersville in 1848. Other towns in the county include Arab, Albertville and Boaz. It was named in honor of John G. Cullmann, a native of Germany who encouraged the immigration of Germans to northern Alabama. Cullman County lies in the north-central part of the state, and is bounded on the east by Marshall and Blount, on the north by Morgan and Marshall Counties, on the south by Walker, and the west by Winston.
