Morrison General Store Ledger

Submitted by Oliver Oakley

Mr. Kenith Morison--Kenneth Morrison--Kennith Morrison--all the same person was made Postmaster of Randolph, Bibb Co., AL, when it was established 7 Jan 1839. Kenneth Morrison married Elizabeth Oakley, daughter of Armstead Oakley & Lucy Fitts Oakley, in October 1842. He served in the Alabama House during 1842/43 and 1844/45. Sometime after 1845 and 1850 the Morrison's and segments of several other Bibb County families moved to the Union County, Arkansas area. Most of these families are still represented in Union County, Arkansas.

Kenneth Morrison also operated a general store in the Randolph area during his early years and left his ledger of accounts receivable used during 1838 & 1839 in care of his brother-in-law William Gee Oakley. A lot of the names of customers and their purchases are recorded in the accounts. The spelling of the names by Mr. Morrison is his own system but can be recognized and they reflect where some of our earlier Bibb County citizens were at that time in history. My own Oakley name was Okly. I have left the spelling of the names as best I could read them.

We have Miss Vera Hicks - great-granddaughter of William Gee Oakley to thank for saving this piece of Bibb County history and passing it down to us. - Oliver Oakley
