Tipton Homestead in North Albama

Leave a reply

Good afternoon!

My name is Melinda Collier. I am a descendant of Lt. Benjamin Tipton through George Washington Tipton (DOB 1807). Pedigree as follows:
Benjamin Tipton —> George Washington Tipton —> Jeremiah Tipton —> William Tipton —> Howard Tipton —> Earlene Tipton —> Marty Scott —> Melinda Scott Collier

George Washington Tipton was granted a Homestead by the administration of James Buchanan in North Alabama, formerly a portion of Blount County and now present-day Cullman County. I have recently applied for a historical marker for this site and am working to see if I can make it a Century or Heritage Farm registered in Alabama as there are very few acres left of the original homestead (land I grew up on).

I’d love to connect with your association and assist with any information or photographs I have. I would also like to connect to seek out ways to help protect the land. As time goes on and I am looking at my inheritance, preservation becomes important to me as I explore historic value of the property.

Thanks again!
Melinda Collier
