184836021Triana Alabama: n.p. 1848. Paper. Very good. Paper. Approximately 12.5" x 8." Folded. Front side is printed and hand written. Back side is a written receipt and written bill of lading for the cotton belonging to the Caleb Toney estate. Illustrated shipping letterhead from the Brewer Rowe & McKee that 85 bales of Cotton formerly owned by Caleb Toney were being shipped on "flat bottomed boats now lying on the Tennessee River whereof "Brewer Rowe & McKee owners and masters and bound for the port of New Orleans." At this time the best cotton land in the country was located along the Tennessee River from Whitesburg then known as Ditto’s Landing extending to a point three miles west of Triana. Madison County as we all know has led all counties in the State in cotton production practically without interruption since its creation in 1808. In 1816 it<br /> produced ten thousand bales for the market which according to The National Intelligencer was twice the production of any county of its size in the U.S. The big problem now facing the cotton merchants was transportation. With no railroads the only means of transportation was by navigation. As early as 1815 the leading businessmen of the county were making plans to meet the situation. Cotton had to reach the Tennessee River to be loaded on steamboats and transported to New Orleans via Paducah Kentucky down the Ohio River to Cairo and thence into the Mississippi for its ultimate destination.<br /> <br /> There is one family in particular that Judge Taylor refers to in his history the Toney Family. There were three brothers Harris Caleb and Edmund. They came into Madison County in 1818 and were among the first to buy land in the Triana vicinity. These three brothers were men of considerable means as judged by the standards of<br /> that time and quickly identified themselves with the development of Triana. Harris Toney was the eldest and the leader. He first engaged in the merchandising and cotton business later investing his ample means in farm lands and Negroes. He was far in advance of his time in his methods of farm development and was laying plans so extensive they would have overshadowed all other agricultural enterprises of his time but unfortunately he did not live long enough to see the fruition of his undertaking. He died according to Judge Taylor’s history in the prime of his manhood. Don’t know just when that was. He evidently was never married as his lands and properties were inherited by a Mrs. Coons and Mrs. Barclay. The next oldest brother Caleb died at an early age. <br /> <br /> The youngest of the three Col. Edmund Toney was one of the best businessmen of his day possessing excellent judgment and sound business sense. It was said of him that in his whole life he never was known to make a financial blunder. While the war stripped him of slaves and his land ran to waste yet at the close of the war he<br /> was out of debt and able to embark in the General Merchandising business in Triana. He died in 1877 at age 77 and is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery.<br /> <br /> Excerpts taken from Highlights in the History of Triana by Charles Dillard Lyle printed in The Huntsville Historic Quarterly June 21 1997. n.p. unknown
