"William Penn Redus and his brother Thomas along with a party of settlers

migrated from Pennsylvania or Maryland and settled on the banks of the Elk

River bordering Alabama and Tennessee between 1806 and 1808. They navigated

the Muscle shoal in small boats and encountered many risks common to early

settlers. They were the first settlers in what is now known as Athens,

Alabama, and played a prominent role in the founding of that community.

William was in the mercantile business and his brotherThomas operated a mill.

Both built fine old colonial style homes and reared large families. Their

homes have weathered the storms and tribulations on many subsequent

generations and still stands proudly as monuments to a glorious past." (Lure

and Lore of Alabama)
