    • The Marquis de Lafayette toured the US from July 1824 to September 1825. He was in Alabama from March 31, 1825 to April 8, 1825. It's likely that Lafayette was named either after the visit or in anticipation of it.

      Witness Role: Lafayette Tribble listed as 26 year old laborer in the house of James Tribble. James Tribble is 30 years older, thus possibly his father, but being listed at the end, after the wife and children makes me think maybe a nephew.
