Chilton County
Chilton County was created by act of the Alabama legislature on 30 December 1868 from land taken from Autauga, Bibb, Perry, and Shelby counties. Originally named Baker County, in honor of Alfred Baker, a prominent citizen, it was renamed Chilton in honor of Chief Justice William Parish Chilton on 17 December 1874. In 1992, the population was 33,220 in a land area of 695 square miles, an average of 47.9 people per square mile. The county seat is located at Clanton . In addition to those counties is Coosa County to the East with the Coosa River as the boundary. A corner of Chilton and Elmore Counties meet and families can be found there with ties to Chilton.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 1891 Topo map of most
of Chilton, a 4 mega byte map. This will be a slow download for most
so I recommend you save it to your harddrive. This is the same as the 1891
topo at the U of Alabama website but in a format you can save. From my
personal map collection.
A rough draft of Beat 3 is online
at Beat 3
The other 2 Beats were so illegible I was unable to
transcribe them. The transcription at Familysearch.com appears to be complete
however.
Apparently they had a better copy than I could find.
