History of the Mormon Church in Tuscaloosa
County Alabama
The church had not
flourished much in Tuscaloosa county until 1941. It was not that the church had
neglected Alabama. In a special conference in April 1843, with Brigham Young
President, the following men were appointed to Alabama: Benjamin L. Clapp, John
Blair, Wilkinson Hewitt and Lymon O. Littlefield. (History of the Church Vol. 5,
pg. 347)
These men must have been very dedicated and found some valiant people. In April
1844 a conference was held at Cypry, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. At the
conference seven branches were represented. There were 192 members present
including twelve elders, five priests, four teachers and two deacons. At that
conference Elder Benjamin L. Clapp was president and John Brown was clerk. Other
elders appointed were W.G. Brandon, L.D. Butler and T.J. Brandon (History of the
church Vol. 6, pgs. 331-338) But people were very hostile to the Mormons and the
branches seemed to have dwindled away. Of course many faithful saints from that
time migrated to the West. The influence of the Church from that time is still
found in the area. North of Tuscaloosa we find a road called Mormon Road. Up
near Jasper is found a town named Nauvoo.

As on the one hand, the necessity for borrowing in particular emergencies cannot be doubted, so on the other,
it is equally evident that to be able to borrow upon good terms, it is essential that the credit of a nation should be well established.
Alexander Hamilton
“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists,
but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
— Patrick Henry
“Faith is a gift of God bestowed as a reward for personal righteousness. It is always given when righteousness is present,
and the greater the measure of obedience to God’s laws,
the greater will be the endowment of faith.”
Bruce R. McConkie
