John Hunt Morgan was born in Huntsville, Alabama on June 1st, 1825.  He was a Confederate General and Calvary Officer in the American Civil War.  He led 2,460 troops in a daring raid, called Morgan's Raid, racing past Union lines into Kentucky, Indiana & Ohio in July of 1863.  This was the farthest north any uniformed Confederate troops penetrated during the war.

George A. Davis a native of Dowlais immigrated to America and settled in St. Clair, PA and in 1888 moved to Alabama.  He managed Belle Sumter mines, and erected the only known Welsh Church ever built in Alabama, where the Reverend D. M. Lewis preached in Welsh.  Mr. Davis built the church to serve a Welsh mining community.
