My mother's side also came to Alabama by wagon from South Carolina by way of Georgia. It was during the Alabama land rush know as "Alabama Fever". They settled near what is now Chelsea, AL. They were Kendricks and founded a place known as "Kendrick Springs" or more commonly known today as "K Springs."
