Archibald Hill and Annie Sugg Carmichael HomeDAR members give of their time, heart and fortune to carry out the goals of the National Society. The first organizational meeting for Colbert Chapter NSDAR was held in the elegant Victorian style home of the Carmichaels. Located on East Sixth Street in Tuscumbia, it was a grand home with gingerbread trim on the wrap around porch.
Their second home on South Dickson Street was inherited by their grandson, Charles Elmore "Charlie" Carmichael. The home was being demolished in the 1970s when inside was discovered a wonderful secret, Annie had that home built around the old Stagecoach Depot to protect it from destruction. The home occupied a good portion of a block. The ground was leveled downward on both sides to accommodate the building of businesses on each side after the home was history. Only the steps to the once grand home remain. Annie Sugg Carmichael was a charter member of the Colbert Chapter NSDAR, now named Chief Colbert Chapter NSDAR. Annie Carmichael was a prominent and esteemed citizen of Tuscumbia; and contributed much to her community. |

First Regent: Annie King Deloney
Ann Jones "Annie" King was born 12 Sep 1872, and died 11 Mar 1917. She was the daughter of Philemon King and Eliza J. Madding of Lawrence County, Alabama. She married John Edward Deloney 14 Feb 1893; he was a judge, a politician, and a prominent citizen.
Annie King Deloney was the first elected Regent of the Colbert Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution at its inception in 1907. Annie King was a beautiful lady, full of grace and much admired among her friends and acquaintances.
The Deloneys were very prominent in the county and state, as were future generations. This record tells of the family's prominence: "COLBERT COUNTY. JOHN EDWARD DELONEY, of Tuscumbia, was born at Leighton (then in Franklin county), November 6, 1854, and is the son of Edward B. DeLoney and wife Nancy E. Smith, of that place. His education was limited to the common schools; he followed farming until January 1, 1893, when he was elected probate judge of Colbert county; was judge six years, and has been the clerk in that office since; elected a member of the house of representatives in 1900, and re-elected in 1902; is a Democrat, and a Methodist; and at Leighton, Ala.. Feb. 14, 1893, was married to Annie J., daughter of Philemon King and wife Eliza J. Madding, of Lawrence (now Colbert) county."
